Last week a colleague told me about a conversation he had with a multinational retailer. A major brand that you certainly know - they move enough containers each year to fill ten of the largest container mega-ships. But no matter what happens in the market, they contract their prices by a tender process just once a year. So when their shipping patterns, or market conditions change, they rely exclusively on the spot market. I suppose the tender process is just too painful to do regularly. That’s why this Shipsta by Freightos product release is so exciting. We already take (some of) the pain out of the annual tender process, now we are helping our partners in retail and manufacturing to update their tenders mid-year as well. More on this in my colleague Christian Wilhelm ’s post. Congrats, Christian, Ian A. Arroyo, Oliver Esch and all our team on this development. https://lnkd.in/d-82KF3W #procurement
