Flexport, the tech-based forwarding company, has raised another $65m Series B – something else that singles it out from the traditional logistics sector. It is now commonly cited as a unique disrupter in the freight market and is set to grow further, using the new cash to open offices in China. As this article from TechCrunch outlines, Flexport is also now offering customers the ability to re-route shipments, even individual pallets, while en route.
