History

Matt Tillman, a serial tech entrepreneur, had the idea for a freight and logistics platform in 2014, when he tried to book space on a container vessel to ship a truck. He created a reverse auction over email, treating all freight forwarders the same, and realized that the process could be automated. Tillman met with Jeff Wehner, who had worked in supply chain at Apple and Nest. They concluded that the traditional carrier-forwarder-shipper procurement structure was not the best model for shippers in terms of price discovery and booking. Together with Renee DiResta, they founded Haven Inc.[1][7]

Acquisition

FourKites®, the market leader in real-time supply chain visibility, announced in April 2021 its acquisition of Haven, Inc., and introduction of Dynamic Ocean, a next-generation visibility solution that redefines end-to-end management for international ocean shipments.
