The Story Behind Tiliport
From a dream to infinity
2009
This story began in October 2009, when a young graduate from one of the oldest logistics universities in the world, Andrey Deryabin, having already gained work experience at several firms, founded his own freight & forwarding company, nag it TELEPORT.
With a vision to automate routine, Andrey launched TELEPORT’s website, incorporating, firstly, personal accounts for customers, and secondly – for carriers and logistics providers. Employees of partner carriers could input transport data and documents in real time, allowing TELEPORT’s customers to access instant updates via their personal accounts and email notifications. This seamless integration gave birth to the world's first COLLABORATIVE Transport Management System (Collaborative TMS). This is how Andrey maximized operational efficiency from day one, freeing up time for growth.
“I believe that a company’s name – the brand – should reflect the dreams of its consumers. The dream of my cargo-owning customers was the instant delivery of their goods without loss of quality, and of course quantity. That’s what teleport is.”

By 2014, Andrey Deryabin took another bold step, developing and implementing a sophisticated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system within TELEPORT. This real time tool showed employees how their bonuses were increasing, correctly calculated exchange rate differences, expected profit on started shipments, actual profit on completed shipments, identified patterns, and based on this, built accurate forecasting of the company’s financial result for months ahead.
2016
In 2016, Andrey Deryabin conceived an even bigger idea. By early 2017 he launched the world's first aggregator of container shipping companies – the company he called AllContainerLines.com. Within just two months after launch, the platform became the gold standard for checking container freight rates across Eastern Europe. Its rapid success was undeniable.
2019
But Andrey wasn’t one to stand still. In 2019, driven by an ambition to create a global logistics product, he made a bold decision – he sold all his assets. The international Estma Group acquired his logistics businesses, the process that took an entire year to complete. By early 2020, he was free to pursue his next big dream.

The vision of a global logistics IT solution led Andrey to move first to Western Europe, and then to the United States. There, he assembled a world-class team to build his most ambitious project yet: this time he called it Tiliport.

The product represents a logistician's dream – a long-awaited tool to escape from routine and extra charges. Both the problem and its solution have long been clear to all professionals in this market. But no one has been able to come up with a visualization of this tool that would finally bring everyone on the same page! To get rid of scattered pieces of information in emails, messengers and telephone calls, structure the data, and provide secure access to both team members and their leaders. Not in one single company, not in several, but across multiple companies worldwide, in some way related to logistics.
But the main conclusion became clear: to save logisticians from routine and extra charges, you need to bring them all on the same page!

For six years, Andrey has been pondering the perfect approach. Then, a revelation struck: if we aim to replace emails, messengers, and phone calls, why not design the product to look like an email system? The concept was simple yet revolutionary. Everyone was already familiar with email interfaces, making adoption effortless. By embedding powerful logistics functionalities within an email-like structure, Tiliport eliminated learning curves and implementation costs.
Shortly after the prototype was created, another challenge emerged. Logisticians, buried under spreadsheets and inbox overload, had no time to migrate their data or restructure their workflow. Getting them onboard meant removing friction entirely. Onboarding had to be seamless – invisible and instantly rewarding. What was previously impossible has become real with AI!

Today Tiliport empowers every supply chain manager on the planet to bring their data, workflows, and network online – automatically. From where? This goldmine of logistics information lives in their inboxes. Corporate systems like CRMs, QMSs, TMSs and ERPs capture only fragments. But the complete story of quotes and shipments stays locked in emails. Even verbal instructions and quick messenger chats are usually followed up by email for compliance and legal traceability. In short, inboxes are the shadow databases of the logistics world. Tiliport turns on the light:
The first version of Tiliport is live. Its capabilities are evolving continuously and infinitely – pushing the boundaries of logistics technology. The journey has been long, but what lies ahead is even greater.
Everything is just beginning.
