About Projects:
The first one:
The logistics company has been in business since 2009 and has been effectively bootstrapped until last year. The core product is logistics software primarily aimed at the last mile of the supply chain. The supply chain problems that COVID has created in the last couple of years have opened an opportunity to expand the offering into different points along the chain and really grow the business. The ports product we are hiring for now is a critical piece in tracking shipments as they move inland and we are looking to invest heavily in ramping this product up and dovetailing into adjacent points on the supply chain (rail, intermodal yards, cross-dock warehousing, etc.). Last year, for the first time we raised a round of venture capital to fuel these growth plans.
