Haven automates global logistics for commodity traders, food producers, and other large shippers every day. In a system notorious for inefficiency, their solutions-focused TMS streamlines workloads, saving over 50,000 hours of human time thus far. Their tools unlock shipment data that otherwise gets buried or lost in emails and phone calls, and turns that information into actionable insights that make work easier and more efficient. With Haven, tedium and frustration is traded for greater transparency and smoother collaboration.
