YOU CAN WORK FROM ANYWHERE IN THE US FOR THIS POSITION.

ARE YOU READY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FUTURE OF HOW LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN COMPANIES INCLUDING 3PLS, DIGITAL FORWARDERS, SHIPPERS AND SAAS PROVIDERS INTEGRATE WITH TRADING PARTNERS?

Chain.io is one of the fastest growing logistics technology software companies and has developed an industry leading logistics integration software platform for 3PLs, Freight Forwarders, Shippers and SAAS providers who need to integrate with customers, agents, suppliers and other systems.

  • Logistics companies use the Chain.io platform to connect their ERP, TMS, WMS, BI platform or many other systems to automate business processes with their customers, overseas agents and SaaS solutions. This drives operational efficiencies and makes it easier for their customers to do business with them creating more value and longer term relationships.
  • SaaS companies use the Chain.io platform to offer their customers an integrated solution allowing their development teams to work on developing their software and not get stuck in customer integrations. 
  • Whether their client’s system communicates in legacy EDI, flat files, XML or JSON APIs, Chain.io will work in their preferred format.
  • Once a client is connected to Chain.io’s platform, they have access to pre-built best practice business processes including bookings, shipments, purchase orders, ASNs, status updates, documents, invoices, and more. They also have access to other prebuilt adaptors with our SaaS customers on the platform.

The Chain.io Software Platform is the Key to a Client’s Success

  • Chain.io’s team of supply chain experts has spent decades learning industry best practices inside logistics, retail and SaaS companies to build the best logistics integration software platform.
  • Chain.io then took that knowledge and built an industry-best integration platform to solve the unique challenges of the logistics and supply chain industry.
  • The platform reduces complexity and allows a client to configure connections for common integrations like Purchase Orders, Bookings, ASNs and Invoices and many more with a simple and highly configurable user interface.
  • With pre-built adaptors to commercial TMS’s, booking and rate management platforms and eCommerce shopping carts, integrations can be set up very quickly reducing time to value for our customers.

Challenges and Issues that the Chain.io Software Platform Solves

  • Companies building their own software - We understand how hard it is to balance product enhancements with client integration work. With the Chain.io OEM program, we give our SaaS customers the flexibility to scale at their own pace by building an adapter that will allow them to very easily integrate with other technologies they add value to. 
  • Companies dealing with challenges around digitalization with APIs, XML, EDI, JSON - Chain.io’s canonical model enables an any-to-any integration model. This enables both sales and operations teams to say yes to any integration project with their customers, agents and any other technology they want to add to their software stack. 
  • Companies building EDI and API Integrations on their own - All of Chain.io’s customers benefit from the common integrations they’ve built to many industry leading solutions. By running on Chain.io’s cloud platform, clients can leverage the technology to quickly onboard new customers and trading partners without the typical integration project headaches. We have a proven implementation methodology and experience to help any size company in any capacity with their integration needs.
