纽约航运交易所(Nyshex),一个平台,连接托运人和海洋航空公司今天宣布,它在一系列B一轮融资筹资2500万美元由整理资本参与Blumberg Capital,高盛(Goldman Sachs)和NewRoad资本。输液带来公司的总额提高到6900万美元,首席执行官戈登•唐斯说将对扩大Nyshex支持所有类型的海洋运费的服务合同。唐斯使的远洋运输行业缺乏基本的数字基础设施存在于其他市场。例如,他说没有标准合同,和没有金融服务网络,拥有存款和支付。“行业正在追赶在过去十年左右的时间集中在价格战生存和处理快速整合,“唐斯告诉TechCrunch通过电子邮件。“Nyshex成立,因为我们不曾亲身经历过的挑战与跟踪相关合同的承诺,和我们意识到在职者无法解决这些挑战。“唐斯Nyshex成立后,于2014年担任主任航运巨头马士基的供应链和关键客户的团队。这个想法,他说,是创建一个“carrier-neutral”工具,可以提供一个合同履行的事实来源和性能。为此,Nyshex提供工作流来创建合同托运人需要通信运营商和设备的空间。公司作为一个中立的第三方,执行合同托运人和运营商和托管仪表板之间存在关键指标两家航空公司和托运人。如果出现错误,Nyshex与承运商和运营商试图达成决议。 Nyshex can also match freight bookings and physical container movements. Using AI trained on ocean carrier data and info from third-party shipping aggregators, the system can sync shippers and freight forwarders with ocean carriers in real time, Downes says. “The pandemic highlighted to the market the need for our products and has fundamentally changed industry dynamics moving forward,” Downes said. “C-suite decision-makers recognize the need for a trusted system of record, and this has been magnified by the ongoing supply chain disruption. Freight contract performance, coupled with workflows that improve performance — as well as reduce cost by creating efficiency — will improve supply chain resilience and create a competitive advantage.” Looking to stay a step ahead of rivals like Freightos , Infor Nexus, and BlueX, Nyshex plans to launch a payments product with undisclosed “strategic financial services partners” in the coming months. Looming larger on the horizon is a new “shipper-focused” allocation management product, which Downes says will be able to support over 100,000 shippers that contract directly with ocean carriers. Business is steady in the meantime, with annual recurring revenue hitting $12 million this year and operations expected to reach cash-flow positive status in Q3 2022, according to Downes. Nyshex handled $1 billion in gross freight volume last year for around 330 carrier and shipper customers and anticipates upping that amount to $4 billion by the end of 2022. “Unlike the post-pandemic hangover in e-commerce, our growth is expected to continue because volatility is expected to continue; essentially, our business is counter-cyclical to the downturn. Supply chains have changed for the long run and new market opportunities have emerged as a result,” Downes said. “From a financial standpoint, our Series B could be our last funding round; however, we plan to continue to raise to capture more of the whitespace in making freight more reliable through trust, data, and workflows.” Nyshex has 120 employees and expects to expand to over 170 by the end of 2023.
