Our mission on Client App is to make the already best-in-class platform for logistics even better, so our clients can easily, efficiently, and effectively understand where their goods are, what actions they need to take now to fix problems and keep things moving, and what future risks they may want to investigate.

Today, we're building the next generation of our application for users managing thousands of active shipments on top of a brand new freight data layer that ingests and consolidates customer-facing supply chain data from a wide range of sources (Flexport and non-Flexport), normalizes and validates it, then serves it to our UIs / APIs / reports alike to give customers a consistent, fast, accurate experience across the platform.

From shoes and clothing to building materials and smart devices, we move it all between thousands of factories and ports around the world into their stores, warehouses, and construction sites.
