Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Solvo builds what it describes as a decision layer for revenue management in container logistics, positioned between external market data, a carrier's internal constraints and its commercial workflow. The core product is a pricing engine that ingests market rates, capacity manifests, booking history, port congestion data, customer behaviour and contract terms, then produces a ranked price recommendation for each combination of lane, equipment type and customer segment. Recommendations are surfaced in an interface the company calls the Decision HUB, where trade managers can accept, adjust or override each suggestion, with each price accompanied by a written rationale (for example capacity tightening on a trade, competitor general rate increases, booking pace changes) and a numeric confidence score.

The system is designed as a bidirectional integration with a carrier's commercial stack rather than a standalone dashboard: recommendations are pushed into existing CRM, TMS or quoting workflows and decisions are read back, so that every accept, adjust or override becomes training signal for the models. Solvo states its models are trained on 20 million historical bookings and that recommendations are generated on a daily cycle (06:00 UTC). Deployment is into the customer's own dedicated cloud instance, with no data leaving that environment without a signed data processing agreement, and with SSO, audit logging and ISO 27001 controls offered from the production tier. The company frames the product as augmenting rather than replacing revenue management teams, automating routine pricing decisions so trade managers can focus on exceptions.

Business model

Solvo sells outcome-linked engagements rather than per-seat software licences. Prospective customers begin with a fixed-fee eight-week pilot covering one trade lane group and up to five trade managers, including the recommendation engine with rationale, a weekly impact readout and a dedicated solutions engineer. Production use is sold under a usage-based model priced on TEUs shipped or service, covering unlimited lanes and users, bidirectional CRM/TMS synchronisation, confidence governance and guardrails, allocation review automation, and security features. A third, upcoming tier, Orchestrate, is offered as a custom enterprise agreement combining pricing, allocation and forecast-driven optimisation, with cargo-mix driven optimisation, custom model objectives and features, priority model tuning and quarterly business reviews.

Fixed fee for the initial eight-week pilot; usage-based pricing tied to TEUs shipped or service for production deployment; custom enterprise agreements for the upcoming Orchestrate platform tier.

Traction

The company reports more than 2,000 live port pairs, more than 1,000 recommendations per week, an 88% recommendation acceptance rate and 30 million data points. It cites a deployment in Q2 2025 across three services, and an anonymous testimonial attributed to a senior executive at a top-5 global carrier referencing short-term pricing and vessel utilisation on volatile trades. Pilots are scoped to eight weeks, with the company stating most carriers see measurable quote-turnaround and uplift effects within the first quarter.

Market position

Solvo positions itself as a live pricing and revenue orchestration engine purpose-built for container shipping, claiming to be the only proven live pricing engine for the sector and differentiating from analytics dashboards by embedding decisions in existing commercial systems.

Solvo emphasises being a decision layer embedded bidirectionally in a carrier's CRM, TMS or quoting workflow rather than a reporting dashboard; explainability, with a stated rationale and confidence score attached to every price recommendation; a feedback loop in which trader overrides train the models to encode internal pricing judgement; deployment inside the customer's own cloud instance with no data sharing across customers; and commercial terms measured on margin uplift per TEU rather than user engagement or seat licences.

Technology

Machine learning models trained on 20 million historical bookings generate ranked pricing recommendations per lane, equipment type and segment, drawing on a joined and weighted data set of market rates, capacity manifests, booking history, port congestion, customer behaviour and contract terms. Each recommendation carries an explanatory rationale, load factor and weekly TEU context, and a confidence score. Human accept/adjust/override actions feed back into the models as training signal. The platform integrates bidirectionally with customer CRM, TMS and quoting systems and is deployed inside the customer's own cloud instance, with SSO, audit logging and ISO 27001 controls at the Deploy tier.

Go-to-market

Direct, founder-led enterprise sales with a land-and-expand structure: all engagements begin with a fixed-fee eight-week pilot on a single trade lane group, followed by production rollout across regions embedded in the customer's commercial stack. The website's calls to action route prospects to speak with a founder, scope a pilot or request access, and the company limits onboarding to one carrier per quarter.

Container shipping carriers, in particular revenue management and commercial teams including trade managers and trade leaders; the company states it onboards one carrier per quarter.

Geography

Recommendations cover global container trades, with example lanes spanning Asia–North Europe, Asia–Middle East, Asia–North America and transpacific backhaul routes; production deployment is described as spanning multiple regions.
