Outgo

Outgo

Outgo functions as a freight-factoring platform acquired by DAT Freight & Analytics, the dominant North American freight marketplace. The firm embeds rapid-payment advances directly into DAT’s load-board ecosystem, making factoring an integrated feature of brokered freight settlement rather than a separate third-party relationship. The platform offers fleets and owner-operators immediate payment on brokered freight invoices, competing on rate transparency with a published Rate Match Guarantee and a fee structure it markets as low and predictable. Outgo’s factoring model covers both recourse and non-recourse structures across the United States. Acquired by DAT, the product now reaches the carrier base that uses DAT’s load board daily. The acquisition by DAT closed by mid-2025, adding a payments arm to a marketplace that historically connected carriers and brokers but did not settle invoices. The combined entity positions Outgo as the in-house factoring engine for millions of freight transactions, though neither Outgo nor DAT publishes deployment volumes or portfolio size. Team members previously built freight and payments products at Convoy, Uber Freight, and Axon. Outgo’s structural differentiator is distribution. Instead of competing with factoring brokers for carrier relationships, it sits inside the system where carriers already search for loads. A trucking company that books a load through DAT can opt into Outgo’s advance inside the same workflow, collapsing what is normally a two-vendor process into one interface.
