FreightWise Named America's 2nd Fastest-Growing Private Company

August 20, 2019
No Comments

FreightWise, a logistics and transportation cost-management technology provider, has been announced as No. 2 on the 2019 Inc. 500 List of America's fastest-growing private companies.

The stellar ranking recognizes the Nashville-based company's remarkable rise since its founding in 2014. The company spent the first year-and-a-half creating its cloud-based technology and had no clients, no office and no revenue until 2016, when its first week of revenue amounted to a meagre $150. By the end of 2018, annual revenue had grown to $33.4 million, representing a 30,547% increase over just three years. The impressive result was delivered by a talented, dedicated team, which is growing weekly.

FreightWise was started because CEO Chris Cochran and his founding partners identified a gap in the market for a SaaS product that would tightly integrate with a client's existing infrastructure to reduce time, money and resources spent on logistics and transportation.

"We knew there had to be a better way for enterprises to manage their transportation and freight," said Cochran, who along with Alex Rustioni sold their previous logistics company, TracBack Solutions, in 2013. "We built FreightWise because competing platforms were badly outdated and not giving clients flexibility and visibility along the supply chain. With FreightWise, everything you need is on a modern, user-friendly cloud-based platform, designed to turn freight costs into freight profits."

High-profile clients with significant supply chains include:
* Tech giant Facebook
* American Cast Iron Pipe, whose 3,000 employees manufacture ductile iron pipe, spiral welded steel pipe, and fire hydrants
* Industrial and farming equipment manufacturers, such as Great Plains Manufacturing
* E-tailers and distributors

FreightWise clients dictate which transportation and freight carriers they want to use, for parcel, LTL (less than truckload) or truckload, then FreightWise's cost-management program leverages significant transportation volume, technology, data, expertise and processes to save time and money. Transportation savings range from 10% to over 40% per year, resulting in rates and discounts that companies are not able to achieve on their own. The platform also offloads low-value manual tasks such as freight invoice auditing and payment, least-cost carrier identification, and damaged and lost claims management, and provides granular visibility into a client's supply chain for proactive decision-making.

"Yes, we have a winning product, but our success comes down to the hard work of an extremely talented team who never quit fighting," said Cochran about FreightWise's No. 2 ranking on the Inc. 500 list. "This was a bootstrap company funded by dedicated partners and employees, and I celebrate today as part of an ownership team that also includes CIO/CTO Richard Hoehn; EVP, Sales Alex Rustioni; EVP, Operations Phil Forte; and EVP, Account Solutions Scott Samuelsen."
