Portex offers a streamlined Transport Management System (TMS) built for small-and-mid-sized businesses that connects shippers with freight partners and centralizes shipment operations. The product includes instant messaging with carriers and brokers, price-quote lookups, tools to secure competitive rates, and automated analytics. Customers using Portex report cutting over 25 hours a week on manual freight tasks and saving up to 30% of annual freight spend. Brittany Ennix began working on Portex nearly three years ago after roles at Uber and Flexport, and the company positions itself as an "intelligent assistant" for freight management. Portex will use new capital to hire and expand globally and to lean into artificial intelligence, using its growing bookings dataset to add features like conversational prompts and carrier-suggestion automation. The company recently closed a seed round, signaling early-stage commercial traction and investment in growth and product development.
