Collaboration and intuitive software are the keys to the future of logistics.
Our vision is to transform the logistics industry. We believe in a future where supply chains operate seamlessly, efficiently, and sustainably—for the benefit of all involved. Our platform enables real-time collaboration across the entire supply chain, providing transparency and automating processes. Our goal is to simplify logistics, allowing companies to respond to challenges with greater agility.
Logistics decision makers are data-driven heroes
We empower logistics decision-makers to become data-driven leaders within their companies. Our software solutions provide clarity in a complex, fragmented industry, offering support from onboarding through ongoing improvements.
By facilitating real-time, data-based decisions, our platform not only brings transparency to processes and partners but also transforms logistics from a cost center into a strategic advantage. We help reduce daily workloads, speed up decision-making, and make the value of logistics visible.
Our Values
Growth Mindset
Our goal is to revolutionize collaboration in global supply chains. We approach every challenge with enthusiasm and openness. At the heart of our mission is the personal growth of our employees—because we can only change the world by continuously developing ourselves.
A borderless World
Logistics and supply chains are global, and so are we. Our TradeLinkers in over 30 cities worldwide work remotely, united by shared goals and a strong sense of belonging. Diversity is our foundation—we welcome people from all backgrounds, orientations, and identities.
A trusted Team
We create a world of seamless collaboration, starting with us. As a team, we act with empathy, trust, and support for each other’s decisions. Transparency is key—we value constructive, timely feedback and see mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow.
Customer Obession
Our goal is to simplify life for our users, which is why we prioritize their needs and have created the first collaboration platform in logistics. A great product stems from deeply understanding the perspectives of logistics decision-makers and their teams.
