Supply Chain Connections Building Tech For Supply Chains With Jenna Brown
Our guest this episode is JENNA BROWN, CEO & Co-founder of Shipamax. Shipamax is a full service solution that takes care of data entry automation, so you can focus on your core business. Shipment volumes have exploded over the last decade - and it's set to continue, with the 2020 pandemic accelerating consumer trends and placing them on an irreversible path.
