Competitive landscape

Edge: Software-first freight forwarding — digitizing paper-based global trade logistics at scale.

Global trade logistics remains largely paper-based. Flexport's $935M Series E (2022) at $8B+ made it a supply-chain tech reference, though 2023 layoffs and leadership changes tested the model.

  • Flexport (legacy forwarders) incumbent

    Traditional freight forwarders with less software.

  • Project44 adjacent

  • Freightos adjacent

    Digital freight marketplace; different model.
