VP - Direct Sales

About the Organization

We are an AI-powered fleet & logistics automation platform that helps businesses digitize their physical logistics operations and get actionable insights in real time. We have served more than 350K+ vehicles so far across 1000+ customers.

We have raised ~$40M from marquee investors like IndiaMart, Beenext, IndiaQuotient, Titan Capital, and several others who support our vision of digitizing the backbone (Logistics & Transportation) of every economy in the world.

The world of the supply chain is going through a transformation.

The 21st century is all about digital transformation. We have seen in the last decade how mobile penetration, technology, and connected devices have become a part of everyones life. But it may surprise you that the backbone (Logistics & Transportation) of any economy across the globe is still running on a pen-and-paper approach and siloed legacy systems.

The digital transformation of the logistics industry is just getting started, with penetration levels still less than 10% in developing countries. COVID has exposed the fragileness in the supply chain industry and created an urgency for freight digitization, prompting Gartner to predict that 50% of leading global enterprises will have invested in real-time transportation visibility solutions by 2023.

We are building an end-to-end platform to solve opaque operations and siloed systems through technology, helping customers visualize their physical logistics operations in real time on one integrated platform.
