Ennix credits success to co-building features with customers. It's not just tech; it's a partnership.
Jillian Williams, Cowboy Ventures partner, says: "While small-to-midsized companies might be an overlooked market, they represent more than half of the $4 trillion global freight market."
Portex is doing what it can to make SMB freight management easy with user-friendly tech and a collaborative approach. With investment secured, time will tell what Portex will do next.
