SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

But in many cases, it is, of course, a full container or even multiple full containers.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

And that's good.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

I mean, we've achieved even exceeded our plan, you know, our business plan in terms of the number of shipments we were hoping to do.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

It's still less than one year since launch of the marketplace.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

Mm-hmm.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And take into account that before Freightos, no one had ever sold freight online, and nobody had ever bought freight online.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

So we're starting to educate all of these freight forwarders, and more importantly, to educate all these import-export companies that you don't need to wait three days anymore.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

You can now get instant pricing and very competitive pricing.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

So it's quite a market education that we're embarking on, and so far, yeah, ahead of schedule.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

Our hundreds or even thousands of shipments a month are still a teeny proportion of an industry where there are millions.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

So it's still a teeny proportion, but it's actually very meaningful in the sense that it's the equivalent of airline tickets in 1997.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

It was still a small proportion of the industry, but it was the beginning of a very big change.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

Yeah, thousands.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

I don't have an exact number in my head.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

Actually, Les, we have 1,000 freight forwarders who use our software.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

We haven't brought them all onto our marketplace in one go because then you'd have a misbalance.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

You'd have too much supply and not enough demand.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

So a few dozen of them are actively selling, and then there's a waiting list.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

For now, we're trying to create a balance between the buyers and sellers.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
733: With $50M Raised, He's Leading Cargo Container Software Space

So we're actually not looking for more sellers just yet until we build up the buy side.
