Founded in San Francisco in 2013, Flexport operates as a technology platform for global logistics, coordinating supply chains from factory floor to customer door. The company serves more than 10,000 clients across 116 countries, moving over $19 billion in merchandise annually. Its work spans ocean freight, air freight, customs brokerage, trucking, fulfillment, warehousing, and trade finance - essentially the full scope of international trade infrastructure.
At the center of Flexport's offering is the Flexport Platform, a single digital system providing end-to-end visibility and control over international shipments. The platform connects participants across the global trade ecosystem, digitizing and streamlining processes that have historically been fragmented across multiple intermediaries. Technical work at the company draws on AI and data analytics to build these systems at scale.
The company's approach blends human expertise with software, aiming to replace opaque, paper-heavy logistics workflows with coordinated digital infrastructure. Its scope - from customs documentation to last-mile fulfillment - positions it as a full-stack operator in a sector long resistant to technological change.
