Connecting the software that moves supply chains.

Our Story

Streamlining supply chains.

Starting Chain.io wasn’t something we thought we wanted to do.

We felt we had to.

After working on visibility platforms directly with large global retailers and freight shippers, logistics providers, and software vendors for 15 years, we experienced first hand the friction, the slowdowns, and the wasted time, energy, and dollars poured into integrations.

We also saw how quickly new technologies and platforms were coming to market – and the dire need for those platforms to be able to connect to systems already in place, even 30-year-old legacy or home-grown systems.

So we went to work developing an integration platform built for the modern supply chain so that shippers, logistics providers, software vendors, and ultimately the end consumers could be aligned in the successful movement of freight and all of the core business processes associated with it.

Our goal is to bridge the last 30 and the next 30 years of supply chain tech.

A universal adapter for a universal need.

Whether it was supply chains for pharmaceuticals, apparel, lumber, or car parts, we identified the same problems across verticals: there is no standard for data sharing or integrations between partners and vendors.

We built a universal standard adapter that plugs into any system, giving shippers, freight forwarders, and software vendors an efficient way to connect to any partner or vendor’s software.

Built to focus on logistics and supply chain processes.

From purchase orders and invoicing to freight visibility and receiving payments, Chain.io was built to facilitate the processes core to supply chains. Our plug-in model eliminates noise and lets you focus on the functions that run your business and your freight, without getting mired in trying out how to fit the pieces together.

Speak the same language.

Different terms, same concept.

We’ve worked across verticals and supply chains. Chain.io speaks with a universal translator, no matter whether you or your partner use the same vocabulary — Chain.io knows what you mean, and how to connect.

From factory to ocean to truck to warehouse.

When cargo moves in a transportation management system by truck, it has a load number. When it crosses from truck to port, it then has an ocean booking number. At a warehouse, it might have another name and number. At Chain.io, we’re versed in all nodes and modes, and our platform ensures the right number is in the right field so you know where your freight is and when it’s arriving.

Eliminate complex discovery.

When there’s no confusion over the unique jargon, integrations can happen quickly and easily. Whether it’s your internal IT team or the triangle between shippers, forwarders, and software vendors

Tools of yesterday, today, and tomorrow

The explosion in SaaS and APIs has given supply chain and logistics parties access to amazing new tools. Chain.io enables software vendors to easily onboard new customers, and it enables shippers and forwarders to quickly adopt the latest tools.
