Biny.co Startup: Revolutionizing Freight Transport and Reviving the Silk Road

Freight transport in Kazakhstan is already challenging, but add cargo theft into the mix, and things get even tougher. Roughly 15% of trucks on the road fall prey to fraud, costing companies millions. The core issues stem from outdated, non-digitized logistics processes and a lack of transparency. Biny.co is tackling these challenges head-on, offering businesses a guarantee of quality and providing drivers a way to bypass shady middlemen.


 Founder Aset Khasenov shared with ER10 Media how Biny.co is changing the logistics landscape in Kazakhstan and breathing new life into the historic Silk Road:

— Our platform is a single app composed of multiple microservices, structured like this:

  1. A client app for businesses shipping cargo.
  2. A client app for transport companies that want to handle shipments and find orders.
  3. An app for drivers to connect with jobs via their mobile devices.

Internally, we call this our communication system. Drivers can see pickup locations, warehouse details, cargo weight, and pricing. On the client side, they know in advance who the driver is and how much the delivery will cost. Everything is automated—orders are created online, and all necessary documents are issued digitally.

Once the driver arrives at the destination, they can only complete the order by pressing the “finish order” button, which is activated once the cargo is delivered and the client confirms receipt. After that, the driver is paid.

We’ve created a transparent process that drivers trust for its clarity, and clients appreciate for its reliability. We’ve even automated the insurance process—policies are automatically sent to insurance companies when a truck is loaded. This gives clients peace of mind.
