What We Do
Founded in 2013, we believe trade can move the human race forward. That’s why our mission at Flexport is to make global trade easy for everyone.
What the internet has done for bits and bytes, Flexport is doing for physical goods: giving every business the ability to connect to any customer, wherever they are in the world. That sounds pretty straightforward, but a fragmented and inefficient global supply chain has held the world back from untapped growth and innovation. By connecting everyone in the global economy we can unlock commerce, creativity, and human progress.
To do so, we’re building the platform for global logistics—empowering buyers, sellers and their logistics partners with the technology and services they need to grow and innovate.
Today, companies of all sizes—from emerging brands to Fortune 500s—use Flexport technology to move more than $10B worth of merchandise across 112 countries every year.
Why Work With Us
Global logistics is the circulatory system for the world economy. Our global team of entrepreneurs is empowered to make the important decisions, to advocate for what is right regardless of the bottom line, and to see their ideas tested in the laboratory of the real world. We are uniquely positioned to simplify trade and built to make it happen.
