Bullet points of Portex founder Brittany Ennix learned the importance of supply chains from Uber and Flexport
- Brittany Ennix, the founder of Portex, was inspired by her grandfather's work at a Ford glass manufacturing plant, where she saw the complexity of building something.
- Portex is a company that allows small-to-mid-sized businesses (SMBs) to connect with freight partners and manage shipments and operations in one place.
- The company aims to provide a more efficient management process for SMBs, which currently use manual processes such as emails, spreadsheets, and PDFs.
- Portex's platform can handle everything related to freight management in one place, allowing companies to easily communicate with carriers and brokers through instant messaging.
- The company has raised $6.25 million in seed funding to hire and expand globally, and plans to use AI to make automation smarter and include features such as conversational prompts and carrier suggestions.
- Ennix's vision for Portex is to become the intelligent management platform for every small-and-mid-sized company that's moving freight around the world.
