The use of online platforms is developing with the growth of information and technology. Matching between the demand and the supply in the online spot market is one of the challenges, particularly in transportation services sourcing. The platform is required to make a decision, considering the specifications and requirements from providers and customers, to pair the supply and demand in a short time. This study explores the theory and application of the supply and demand matching for online spot market platforms. We elaborate more on the transportation services sourcing platforms. Some studies are collected and analyzed based on the categories including business model, mechanism, cycle setting, scheduling type, and expected outcomes. Some research directions are provided as results. This study provides the review of matching supply and demand studies in online transportation market. It also helps practitioners to classify and analyze the appropriate system to be applied for matching supply and demand in online transportation sourcing services.
