Otta's take on Zencargo
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
The global freight forwarding market is expected to reach $277.5 Bn by 2028 and is an incredibly complex market with lots of different companies playing different roles across the supply chain.
There's now enormous scope to use data and smart technology to improve efficiency in the space. Zencargo estimate there is $1.1 trillion “left on the table” from all of the inefficiencies in the supply chain related to things not being in stock when needed, or overstocked, and other inventory mistakes.
Zencargo has built a platform that uses machine learning and other new technology to rethink how large shipping companies and their customers manage and move cargo.
Their customers include several of the ‘largest businesses in Europe’, including Amazon (Zencargo provides integrated services to ship good to Amazon fulfilment centres).
