Give us the big picture. Obviously, we know the pandemic snarled the supply chain, a lot of us couldn't get what we wanted and needed… what are the problems that exist right now?

Lily Shen, CEO of Transfix

Absolutely. So, we're still continuing to see demand peaks, you know, we're seeing capacity shortages, there's labor congestion, and facility congestion as well. You know this is one of the big reasons why customers and carriers really work with Transfix, you know, we've built a platform that's really enabled customers and carriers to be able to navigate all market conditions, quite frankly, and that's really led to the growth and the growth of our business.

Emily Chang, Bloomberg Technology

So, talk to us about how Transfix steps in. You are working to smooth out some of the kinks in the chain-how does the technology work?

Lily Shen, CEO of Transfix

Absolutely. We connect some of the largest shippers in the world with carriers across the country. We work with companies such as Target, Unilever, and Wayfair, and we've built an incredibly strong and growing community of carriers, and 93% of the carriers on our platform continue to come back and use Transfix. Our technology has enabled us to be able to provide customers with easier access and far more reliable capacity, and at the same time being able to provide carriers with access to the loads that they're looking for. That's going to be good for them, as well as their drivers.

Why SPAC, why now?

Lily Shen, CEO of Transfix

It's a great question. This is the time. We have incredible momentum in the business, we have been able to prove every single year that we have grown the business with new customers, growing customers, a carrier base, and increased improvements in our automation. We have an incredible partner with G Squared Ascend I, they've been investors in Transfix since 2019. They've invested in companies such as Airbnb, Spotify, and Coursera and are deeply and broadly familiar with the space. And as you know Emily, there is a lot going on in supply chain, there's a lot of challenges in supply chain and now is the time for digitalization. So much still continues to be done manually, across, across the entire ecosystem. And every party involved in the supply chain continues to do things incredibly manually and the need for technology and data digitalization is now, and we've really built the technology platform and software offerings that’s making it easier for shippers and carriers alike.

Emily Chang, Bloomberg Technology

We're heading into the holiday season and peak shipping times, what are you expecting over the next few months? Where are the pain points going to continue to be?

Lily Shen, CEO of Transfix

Yeah, I mean, you know, we expect for the demand kick to continue. And, you know, our goal is to really be there simply for customers. We expect more volatility, and, you know we have proven time and time again that we have been there at the right time, at the right moment. We've worked with one of the largest global consumer brands where, you know, they were actually seeing a lot of facility congestions, and we were able, through our technology to provide pop-up fleets for them instantaneously that really helped them with this pain point. You know, over, over the course of the last year we've also worked one of them with one of the high growth fitness brands. And in the midst of COVID and, you know, and even moving forward, helping them with some of the peak demand that they were seeing in the market as well.
