Tiger Logistics is an international freight forwarding and supply chain solutions provider that manages the movement of ocean and air cargo for industries like automotive, solar, and textiles. It operates on a cost-plus model, earning fees by coordinating logistics between shippers and carriers without owning its own fleet of ships or planes.
The company operates in a highly fragmented, commoditized industry with low barriers to entry, evidenced by thin net margins averaging 2.3%. While it claims a moat through specialized verticals like 'TiGreen' and its 'FreightJar' digital platform, the lack of durable pricing power and high reliance on external freight rate cycles suggest no significant structural advantage.
Capital has primarily been deployed toward working capital to support volume growth and modest investments in proprietary software. While the company maintains a conservative debt profile, the low cash conversion ratio suggests that growth is consuming a significant portion of operating cash flow.
The business collapsed as the digital platform 'FreightJar' failed to provide a structural advantage against larger, better-capitalized tech-enabled logistics giants. As global freight rates normalized and then plummeted, the company's razor-thin 2.3% margins evaporated into net losses. The poor cash conversion observed in 2024 proved to be a terminal symptom rather than a temporary glitch, as working capital needs for the automotive sector ballooned while receivables became uncollectible, forcing the company to take on expensive debt that its weak interest coverage could no longer service.
