Oregon Teknoloji Bets $10 Million on Profit-Sharing Logistics

Oregon Teknoloji has launched Ucuza Yükle, a logistics venture that lets experienced freight professionals operate as profit-sharing partners inside an established corporate structure — backed by a $10 million smart headquarters in Pendik and TRY 300 million in paid-in capital, the company announced at a press conference dated November 2, 2026.

The model targets a specific gap. Many logistics professionals have the industry experience and the customer portfolios to run their own operations, but cannot clear the barriers of capital requirements, creditworthiness constraints and operating costs. Instead of building their own companies, they plug into Ucuza Yükle's infrastructure and share the resulting profits. In plain words: the company carries the financial weight, the entrepreneurs bring the clients.

What does the profit-sharing model actually remove?

Selçuk Yılmaz, CEO of Oregon and Ucuza Yükle, framed the venture as a structural fix for a financing problem that defines the sector.

"With Ucuza Yükle, we are revolutionizing efficiency in logistics. Instead of requiring entrepreneurs to open their own businesses from scratch, we offer them a place within an already established structure. We also eliminate financial risks for professionals who are confident in their capabilities," Yılmaz said.

He detailed the cost stack entrepreneurs face: offices, personnel, operating licenses, guarantees and financing. The cash-flow mismatch is the sharpest problem. Carriers typically demand payment in advance, while customers pay later — a gap that inflates financing needs for any independent operator. Yılmaz said the TRY 300 million capital base provides security for those financing needs, and that timely payments to transport suppliers will sharpen the model's competitiveness.

Takeaway: the pitch is not cheaper logistics, but risk transfer from individual entrepreneurs to a capitalized parent.

How much of the operation runs on AI?

Yılmaz positioned Ucuza Yükle as a digital transformation project rather than a conventional carrier — one conceived over roughly five years and tested over the past two.

He argued that logistics digitalization has barely moved past vehicle tracking and internal software. "While almost every industry in Türkiye and around the world is undergoing digital transformation, unfortunately, in logistics, this concept has rarely progressed beyond vehicle tracking or internal operational software," he said.

The end state he described is a digital freight marketplace: requests placed digitally, capacity providers accepting shipments, and the full process managed through technology. That, he acknowledged, "requires an extensive database, strong infrastructure and long-term preparation," and the company has drafted two-, five- and ten-year action plans.

Commercial Director Enes Kaya put a number on the current build: approximately 25–30% of the system already uses artificial intelligence, with a long-term goal of AI across all operational processes to cut entrepreneurs' workloads. His caveat matters: software development teams will always be needed to maintain and extend those systems. The AI share is a starting figure, not a finished platform.

Can a Turkish startup really reach $20 billion?

Yılmaz's growth strategy is deliberately international. He named Spain, Italy and Poland as target markets, with expansion planned through representative offices and liaison networks abroad.

"Our business model is not designed around domestic transportation from one point in Türkiye to another. We are entirely focused on international transportation," he said.

"Our target is to achieve USD 20 billion in revenue within ten years. To accomplish this, we need to facilitate approximately USD 250 billion in global trade volume."

That arithmetic means Ucuza Yükle must intermediate roughly $25 billion in trade per year, on average, to hit its own target — a demanding benchmark for a venture that launched with a press conference and two years of testing. No interim revenue milestones were disclosed.

Who can apply, and on what terms?

Kaya said the project responds to demand from professionals employed at established companies who want independence but face market risk, licensing requirements and financing barriers.

"Ucuza Yükle offers an important opportunity for logistics professionals who believe in their capabilities and customer portfolios," Kaya said.

The company absorbs financial and operational burdens and shares profits with participants, who focus on expanding customer portfolios rather than covering overhead. Kaya stressed a boutique service model: smaller customer groups per professional, higher service quality. The platform will not stay road-only — maritime, air and rail modes are planned, and drone-based delivery could be integrated later.

Applications are open to experienced logistics professionals with established customer portfolios via [email protected] or WhatsApp at +90 532 255 50 14. The unanswered question is the split: neither executive disclosed the profit-sharing percentages participants will actually receive.
