sennder: operator productivity has improved by 45% YoY
sennder, Europe’s digital road freight forwarder, today announced that it has turned IFRS EBITDA positive on an unadjusted monthly basis, and is to hit €1 billion in annual revenue for 2026. sennder is on track to deliver IFRS EBITDA profitability for the full year 2026. This milestone is driven by a sharpened focus on its core business, strategic portfolio optimization, and continued improvements in operational efficiency.
The company also announced it has completed the integration of C.H. Robinson’s European operations. sennder now operates as one business on one platform, sennOS, moving more than 150,000 shipments a month through a network of more than 40,000 vetted carriers.
Momentum, profitability and successful integration enable further initiatives in technology and AI
In a European road freight market with modest volume growth and rising operating costs, sennder has continued to put profitability and revenue quality ahead of volume growth, actively optimizing its customer portfolio.
Operator productivity, measured as gross profit per operator, rose 45 percent year on year. sennder attributes the increase to scale, the single integrated platform and its growing use of reasoning AI agents which work alongside teams, supporting them in serving customers at scale. The AI agents reason across vast volumes of live network data to match loads with the right capacity, price shipments in real time and resolve issues before they escalate, streamlining operations further.
With profitability established, sennder will continue to invest in its platform, its AI agents and its European carrier network. The focus is profitable growth: growing volume that is sustainable and supports reliable service for customers and carriers.
“Continued operational momentum and sustained profitability puts us in an even stronger position to invest in the digital transformation of freight” said David Nothacker, co-founder and CEO of sennder. “We brought two large businesses onto one platform and lifted operator productivity by 45 percent in the process, and this milestone reinforces sennder’s role as a dependable partner for customers and carriers alike and enables us to keep raising the standard for reliability, efficiency and innovation in European road freight”
Delivering lasting value for customers, carriers and European road freight
With strong operational momentum and profitability, sennder is further strengthening its mission to build a more efficient and sustainable road freight network across Europe. This financial strength enables continued investment in service reliability, innovation and a technology-enabled freight network that creates lasting value for customers and carriers. By reducing empty kilometers, optimizing transport flows and expanding access to lower-emission solutions such as electric vehicles and HVO, sennder is helping drive the decarbonization of the industry. Over the past 12 months, these initiatives have prevented more than 31,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions.
