From their scrappy MVP days—built on spreadsheets and cold calls—to the hurdles of data collection and gaining early adopters, Patrik shares the perseverance and lessons that shaped Xeneta’s journey. The conversation touches on major industry shifts caused by recent global disruptions, the increasing complexity for shippers and carriers, and looks forward to future changes, such as index-linked contracts and advances in predictive analytics.
