At Cargobase, we are proud of our technology as it empowers logistics professionals to go digital, in a time where logistics service providers rely on – more than ever - connected workflows to maximize efficiency and speed. Securing these investments is confirmation that we are on the right track and an indication that we can potentially shape the future of supply chains as it sits at the tipping point of digital transformation."
