While innovation in technology has paid much attention to last-mile delivery, the middle-mile has routinely been overlooked This is the segment of the supply chain that focuses on the delivery of products from factories or seaports to fulfillment and distribution centers. Optimizing the middle-mile provides the opportunity to eliminate the massive backlogs that we’ve seen at the ports since the start of the pandemic. Warp is a middle-mile delivery marketplace that connects shipping, carriers, and facilities in order to get shipments where they need to be quickly and efficiently. By pooling demand and consolidation points, the platform provides unprecedented transparency, tracking, and cost savings. The company recently emerged from stealth and is initially focused on the less than truckload (LTL) market, providing flexibility to smaller shippers in California, New York, and Texas that may be focused on high-volume consumables. LA TechWatch caught up with Warp Cofounder and CEO Daniel Sokolovsky to learn more about the inspiration for the business to modernize the supply chain with technology, the company’s strategic plans, latest round of funding from investors that include Bee Investors and Amplify.
