Unmatched Leadership
Freightgate Founder and CEO, Martin Hubert has more than 30 years of experience in providing IT solutions to the logistics industry. He began his career in 1994, by founding a company that focused on providing track and trace capability over the internet through establishing EDI capabilities with carriers. He then founded Freightgate in 2000 with a vision to improve the IT environment for logistics companies and shippers.
His core value is the passion for innovation and never-ending improvements. He strives to provide innovative logistics solutions, fostering global collaboration and productivity, while building a highly configurable platform with a global-by-design philosophy. Martin seeks to deploy technology to find smarter ways to solve today’s and tomorrow’s supply chain challenges.
Technology: The Opportunities and Hurdles
Deploying and adapting to ever-changing technology is a tedious yet necessary task. Martin has never shied away from utilizing technology to provide the best to Freightgate’s clients. In the current scenario, the opportunities with IoT and AI are to reduce the impact of delays in shipments before they become major disruptions and have severe economic consequences. AI can also be used in supply chain planning, looking for ways to improve the supply chain processes overall. To tackle the challenges with IoT he made an investment into a Tracking Manufacture which now makes Freightgate the only 100% vertically integrated Global End-to End Visibility Platform. One of the challenges with AI is the need for vast data sets – Freightgate’s long history in the hosted supply-chain technology field uniquely affords them with rich historical data far beyond what is available to many competitors. And naturally the team is constantly seeking out new ways to apply emerging technology to deliver exponential value to its customers. Empowering the end-user to orchestrate the various puzzle pieces flexibly yet intuitive is never as easy as it sounds.
