Portex

JOC.com's Eric Johnson got the scoop on our product roadmap and growing Portex shipper community. Here’s JOC’s take on the product and the full article: 👇 “Portex is designed to be a cost-effective and easy-to-use alternative to transportation management systems (TMSs) and procurement tools that are generally beyond the financial reach of small and midsized businesses (SMBs). “Ennix is betting that software designed specifically for shippers with smaller freight spend will scratch an itch in the market." https://lnkd.in/gGP8BhUe

Check out the FreightWaves article by Grace Sharkey 🚛🤖💙!  We are excited to officially launch Portex out of stealth and share that we’ve closed a $6.25 million seed fundraising round. We’re incredibly lucky to work with amazing investors: Footwork led the round, which was joined by Cowboy Ventures, Susa Ventures, Base10 Partners, strategic investors, and angels. We built Portex to make it possible for small- to mid-sized shippers to experience the same time and cost savings enjoyed by the enterprise sector. We did this by staying completely focused on their specific needs. The impact on our customers has been energizing. For the typical shipper, Portex slashes time spent on freight tasks up to 80% and cuts annual freight spend by up to 30%. ✅ Portex is an intelligent freight procurement & management platform that simplifies logistics with automated pricing, real-time benchmarking, and easy communication—all in one place. ✅ Works seamlessly with shippers’ existing carrier networks. ✅ Takes less than 10 minutes to set up. The team has worked incredibly hard, shaping the product hand-in-hand with early customers, such as Franklin Foods, Community Coffee, Armorock Polymer Concrete, and Chancey Metals, LLC, as well as with many brokers/carriers. We wouldn’t be here without the deep support of our advisors, investors, and customers.  We’re just getting started! https://lnkd.in/e82Tt85Q
