Beacon is a supply chain visibility platform. We began life as a digital freight forwarder. During that time we repeatedly saw the same customer problems come up again; no matter how good their forwarders were, customers had little visibility of their shipments, and managing data across multiple forwarders and carriers was painful and inefficient. We saw first-hand how all of this resulted in real business impact, particularly during the Suez Canal crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath. So we came up with a solution.
