In this episode of the ThinkFreight Podcast, I sit down with Oliver Jones, Founder of Manifold Freight, to discuss his journey from the pioneering digital brokerage Convoy to launching his own company focused on spot freight solutions.
Oliver shares his background in logistics and technology, detailing how his 6.5 years at Convoy shaped his approach to building Manifold Freight.
During his time at Convoy, he played a crucial role in its operations and experienced firsthand the highs of working in a well-supported startup, as well as the challenges of winding down operations.
Oliver talks about the inspiration behind Manifold Freight and explains its unique focus on the spot freight market.
He discusses why he chose to specialize in spot freight, how Manifold supports shippers through market volatility, and the key analytics tools available on the platform, like win-rate tracking and team metrics, to help companies navigate this competitive space.
