Our mission

    We believe in using data the right way – to empower every decision-maker in the supply chain to make better decisions.

    $95B a year is lost to coordination in freight. We capture the data, then use AI and quantum computing to optimize across partners in the chain.

    How it started

    Four students from the University of Chicago. We spent six months living inside a full service logistic operator's dispatch room, rebuilding their software around real pain points.
