Freightera CEO wins sustainability award for freight-based digital transformation efforts<\/h2>\n

SupplyChainDigital.com<\/a> picked up our recent press release about Freightera CEO Eric Beckwitt’s 2019 Clean50 Award and published a feature article about this news for the supply chain community. Thank you, Supply Chain Digital! This story will help us spread the word about our solution.<\/p>\n

The excerpts from the article are below.<\/p>\n

“Freightera is a B2B website focused on finding the best deals for shipping, compiling different companies\u2019 quotes in a manner similar to flight and hotel comparison sites.”<\/p>\n

“The company\u2019s website states, \u201cIt\u2019s difficult for all but the largest companies to negotiate volume discounts on shipping. Freightera levels the playing field.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFreightera is preferentially bringing in new carriers that offer the highest quality service, the best price, and lowest emissions for each lane and region, so shippers can continue to reduce emissions as they pay less and improve the bottom line in their operations.<\/p>\n

The firm\u2019s press release noted that \u201cClean50 is one of the most important awards for corporate contribution to environmental sustainability in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Eric Beckwitt and Zhenya Beck, founders of the company, moved their family from California to Vancouver in 2003 and found that their son\u2019s severe asthma relented in response to the significantly cleaner air, though the firm\u2019s press release states that the couple\u2019s dedication to sustainability pre-dates this revelation in their son\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

As global freight shipping is one of the most wasteful and pollutant industries, Beckwitt and Beck wanted to transform it into a far less harmful one and focused initially on \u201cfilling empty trucks\u201d to make the most of consumed fuel.<\/p>\n

The Clean50 award stands as recognition of their ongoing success in working towards a greener and more sustainable industry that will benefit air quality around the world.”<\/p>\n
