Company Launches
Derya: Your supply chain autopilot for mapping, planning, and execution.
See original launch post

TL;DR: We map out all your procurement, logistics, assembly, and distribution operations and then execute them for hardware companies. If you build hardware, physical AI, robots, we'll set up the operations while you focus on designing your product and sales.

Ask: If you are spending too much time sourcing components, managing manufacturers, or coordinating shipments, let's see how we can save time and make money for you. Reach us at contact@usederya.com or book a meeting at https://calendar.app.google/vSabvozH51TCM9V18

The Problem

Redundant labor and inefficiencies represent $1.3 trillion of the $13 trillion logistics market. You shouldn't be spending your Tuesday chasing a customs broker, comparing three carrier quotes you don't trust, and hoping your parts clear China customs before your build slips a week.

Solution

We’re setting up your supply chain for you:

  • Shipping & customs automation for cheaper and risk-free freight and imports
  • Procurement support to autonomously order, ship, and track all your inputs
  • Production visibility and execution to get your products ready to ship, quick

Why us

We already handled more than $15M in freight before starting to handle the whole supply chain for companies ranging from lab robotics to biochemical manufacturers.

We’ve been friends for almost 10 years and built our first business together in high school. Mert was the CTO of the trucking AI company Hemut (YC P25), UCLA CS major, and the son of a ship captain. He built software for 25+ ships, a $450M fleet running on his software. 

Oguzhan is an Oxford law grad who worked at CMA CGM/Ceva (3rd-largest shipper), previously built a six-figure-ARR AI-native business, and grew up in a farming family, providing him exposure as both the carrier and the customer.
