Mitgo  /  About

Deal with people who've run the carriers.

Founded in 2006 in Burlington, Ontario. A full-service transportation consulting firm whose competitive advantage is simple — we know the executives, not the sales reps.

Who we are

The honest matchmaker.

Founded in 2006, Mitgo Inc. is a full-service transportation consulting firm specializing in improving the performance of its clients' supply chain.

When you need to know time-sensitive information about your freight, why waste time dealing with a sales rep when Mitgo can connect you with the carrier's CEO, Owner or President?

What we do

We connect shippers directly with carriers, manage your relationships with transportation providers, conduct in-depth supply chain analysis and design, and work inside your organization to attract, retain and motivate top-flight sales teams.

The advantage

Mitgo's competitive advantage lies in its network connections — your business, joined directly to the executives at many leading transportation carriers. You get back to your business; our consultants manage the supply chain.

The people

Our consultants are chosen for both the breadth and the depth of their experience — years of strategic background, plus specialist knowledge of particular industries and individual parts of the supply chain.

How we deliver value

Four ways the work pays for itself.

01 — Budget

Increasing the value of clients' supply chain budgets through cost savings and route optimization.

02 — Transparency

Understanding the areas where carriers have cut costs but aren't passing those savings on to the shipper.

03 — Mode & mix

Optimizing the carrier mode and mix so all your freight moves in the most efficient manner to suit your service, quality and cost requirements.

04 — Structure

Designing and implementing an organizational structure which supports a high-performance supply chain.
