Job Description
Freight forwarding is a $200B+ industry you might not know about, but it's the backbone of the global economy, ensuring goods move seamlessly around the world. Freight forwarderslike DHL, FedEx, and UPSact as travel agents for goods, managing the complex operations that keep supply chains running.
Surprisingly, this critical industry remains largely untouched by modern software, with many processes still managed manually or through outdated systems. The eco-system is so fragile that one missed email can disrupt an entire shipment, leading to delays, poor service, and financial losses.
At Raft, we're building an AI platform to automate freight operations. From auditing invoices and preparing customs filings to syncing information across systems, we empower operators to work more efficiently and accurately. The impact Faster service, fewer errors, and more time for businesses to focus on growth and customer service.
We're fortunate to have the support of top investors who are just as passionate as we do about transforming the industry, including Eight Roads (Alibaba, Spendesk, Toast), Bessemer Venture Partners (LinkedIn, Twilio, Shopify), Episode 1 (Zoopla, Betfair, Shazam), and Dynamo Ventures (Sennder, Stord, Gatik).
