Over the last couple of years, digital transformation in the supply chain has become increasingly important. There is so much to manage and control with a single shipment and a growing need for more efficient processes and technology to make betterinformed decisions. There is a growing need amongst the customers of making market-driven decisions with something like Freightgate’s Cloud Platform to manage better using sailing schedule data, AIS, and port data feed, API/EDI, drayage feeds, company data feeds, rail data feeds, and only by overlaying all these touchpoints can you create something comprehensive enough to manage today's complexities in the supply chain.

Born in Germany, Martin Hubert, CEO & President of Freightgate, sold his first program at age 16, then went on and studied computer science. While at university, he started a software company selling custom software solutions. After graduating with a Master's and MBA, Martin did a short engagement in New York, NY, at a freight company whose president afterward offered me a job as Director IT. In 1994, his independent Internet quest began by founding a company that focused on providing track and trace capability over the internet through establishing EDI capabilities with carriers. He spun off Freightgate in 2000 with a vision to provide a focused platform that improves the life of logistics companies and shippers.
The steadfast leader is driven by a passion for innovation and never-ending improvements. Leading a team that strives to provide innovative logistics solutions, fostering global collaboration and productivity while building a highly configurable platform with a global-by-design philosophy.

With Freightgate we already have the perfect digital transformation tool, but we understand that it’s hard to overcome internal hurdles to modernize the way businesses work. Now more than ever the industry can benefit from what we have been doing for more than 20 years and automate processes, raise efficiencies, reduce monotonous tasks and create an environment where employees can get creative and find better ways of solving the day-to-day puzzles.” Freightgate’s Logistics Cloud aims to provide the right solutions for the customers by listening to their pain points and direct needs in a supply chain platform.
