The Berlin based company also confirmed the completed integration of C.H. Robinson's European Surface Transportation business onto its single platform, sennOS. With these milestones, sennder is on track to generate €1 billion in annual revenue for 2026 while managing more than 150,000 shipments per month.
Profitability Driven by Focus and Efficiency
The profitability milestone reflects a deliberate emphasis on revenue quality rather than volume growth in a European road freight market facing modest expansion and rising operating costs. sennder has actively optimized its customer portfolio and sharpened its focus on core business operations. These actions, combined with strategic portfolio optimization and improved operational efficiency, have positioned the company to deliver IFRS EBITDA profitability for the full year 2026.
Integration of C.H. Robinson EST Complete
The integration of C.H. Robinson's European Surface Transportation business has brought both organizations onto one unified platform called sennOS. The combined operation now manages more than 150,000 shipments every month through a network of over 40,000 vetted carriers. This scale places sennder among Europe's largest road freight forwarders and supports its €1 billion revenue target for 2026.
Productivity Gains Powered by AI Agents
Operator productivity, measured as gross profit per operator, increased by 45% year over year. sennder attributes this improvement to greater scale, the single integrated sennOS platform, and the growing use of reasoning AI agents that work alongside teams. These agents analyze live network data to match loads with suitable capacity, price shipments in real time, and resolve issues before they escalate.
Continued Investment in Technology and Network
With profitability established, sennder plans to continue investing in its platform, its AI agents, and its European carrier network. The company remains focused on profitable growth by prioritizing sustainable shipment volumes that support reliable service for customers and carriers. This approach aims to strengthen sennder's position as a dependable and efficient partner in European road freight.
Sustainability and Emissions Impact

By cutting empty kilometers, optimizing transport flows, and expanding access to lower emission options such as electric vehicles and HVO, the company prevented more than 31,000 metric tons of CO2e emissions over the past 12 months. These initiatives form part of sennder's mission to build a more efficient and sustainable freight network across Europe.
