Qanat Logistics
Middle-mile route optimisation for GCC distributors, cutting empty-run mileage by a third.
The problem
Distribution trucks in the GCC run empty on 35–40% of their mileage. That's fuel burned, drivers paid and vehicles depreciated for nothing. The problem isn't that logistics companies don't care — it's that their route planning still runs on spreadsheets, driver memory, and habit.
Qanat builds the software layer that turns empty runs into loaded ones by matching outbound deliveries with return-leg demand in real time.
