Today I’m joined by Rygen Technologies, a supply chain software brand with a vision to provide user-forward, practically-delivered, and thoughtfully-engineered solutions.
Rygen designs and builds technology solutions to empower the logistics industry. Working with shippers, carriers, vendors and 3PLs, Rygen are able to eliminate their customers most painful tasks, like shipment tracking, contract management or invoice payments, allowing them to focus on the core parts of their business.
Today, Tony Winters, Chief Technology Officer at Rygen Technologies, joins me to talk all about Rygen and what they do; being inspired by customer challenges; innovating beyond SaaS to offer an integration platform as a service; and Tony’s hot takes from Manifest, the ultimate event in supply chain and logistics.
