​Lanehub continues to invest in new technology features to support our members! We've recently added new capability that allows you to perform better analytics on your lanes by exporting your matches with other companies.

We are excited to announce that we have successfully raised another round of seed funding to accelerate our growth!  We were able to connect with additional Angel Investors outside of Wisconsin, including investors on the east coast and even an international investor.  We have a strong relationship with NEW Venture Foundry who took the lead again with this round.  This funding will allow us to expand our team and invest in new technology to support and grow our member companies.

​​Lanehub is pleased to announce the hiring of Chandler Hall as its Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer.  As part of the executive leadership team at Lanehub, Chandler is accountable for the successful realization of value from collaboration for Lanehub’s shipper and carrier members.  Chandler oversees the services organization and the people, processes, and tools leveraged to create and sustain wins for Lanehub’s rapidly growing membership.
 
Chandler has spent nearly twenty years helping companies maximize the value and strategic impact of their supplier relationships.  He has led the development and application of techniques and optimization-enabled software that have created collaborations resulting in billions of dollars in value.  His transportation sourcing and solution management experience spans all modes of transportation and various industries globally earning him several industry awards—most recently being named a 2017 “Rock Star of the Supply Chain” by Food Logistics.  In addition to software and consulting leadership roles, he was accountable for the success, long-term retention, and growth of BravoSolution's Americas-based customers.  
 
Since its initial launch in the Fall of 2016, Lanehub has steadily grown its community of both shippers and carriers.  With the recent dynamic market for truckload freight in the US, adoption is increasing rapidly and Lanehub is expanding its team and solution scope in order to meet the new demand for its services.  According to Tim Pearson, Senior Director of Transportation at Pactiv, “Lanehub has allowed us to accelerate our mission of more efficiently leveraging our entire truckload network by effectively partnering with other shippers.”  It’s this heavily sought-after value proposition that convinced Chandler to come on board.

To view the official press release,

​As many of you know, the Cass Freight Index Report, a measure of North American freight volumes, indicates that volume is growing at such a pace that capacity has become extremely tight.  This tight capacity has created significant interest from shippers joining the Lanehub network. The software automatically identifies and connects companies with complementary freight lanes to find efficiencies and secure trucking capacity.
