Re-ordering the import world.
We envision a future where all brands are connected across their first, middle, and final mile. One where large and small importers can communicate effectively with the people who make and move their products. Through simplicity and service, to insights and sustainability, we help brands and businesses re-order the import world, one order at a time.
Our Story
Manual supply vs digital demand
For a number of years, we’ve seen a high level of investment made in the final mile – the last stage of the supply chain.
As eCommerce has boomed, retailers have focused on how to deliver the best experience for their customers, investing heavily in the final mile of their supply chain.
In stark contrast, the first mile has been left in the dark ages. Accounting for up to 80% of the global supply chain, upstream operations have changed very little in decades, leading to billions lost every year due to defective products, late shipments, and re-work.
