Freight forwarding software startup Logixboard lands $13M April 27, 2021 at 11:01 pm Logixboard co-founders Julian and Juan Alvarez. (Logixboard Photo) New funding: Logixboard, a Seattle startup that helps companies manage and control their freight operations, raised a $13 million Series A round. The tech: Founded in 2017 by brothers Julian and Juan Alvarez, Logixboard sells a customer engagement platform for the freight forwarding industry. The idea is to take a manual process — managing freight shipments by phone, email, Excel, etc. — and instead use software to automate parts of the process while providing data insights. Logixboard says it helps customers win — or win back — contracts from Flexport, the freight forwarding startup that was valued at $3.2 billion in 2019.
