PRODUCT OWNER
ROUTEIQUE
Company culture is at our core
Routeique is not a software company. Our business involves unraveling complexity, ironing out wrinkles, and finding better ways—which means our commitment is always considerably deeper than pixels on a screen, and far wider than just the supply chain.
We are a close-knit team of innovators with nerd-like enthusiasm, and veteran-like experience. We are supply chain experts armed with the mother of all digital platforms. And we are hell bent on ensuring every link, in every chain, is flawlessly efficient and seamless.
Indeed it’s our velvet integration of high touch and high tech—and our insistence on being partners, not vendors—that allow us to bring so much value to the table.
We strive to work passionately, improve daily, speak truthfully, invest wisely, watch carefully, iterate/innovate relentlessly and grow frequently. These are our values, they keep us accountable and drive us to our success. Success is not only growing the business but growing people.
What’s cool about Routeique?
At Routeique we know a supply chain can never be completely owned. The variables of logistics, warehousing, shipping and fulfillment are infinite, and not easily wrangled or second guessed—especially in a world wracked with the uncertainty of alarmingly frequent environmental, political and medical crises. That’s why, every day, we provide our clients with the next best things: insight, foresight, and oversight.
We give clients penetrating x-ray vision that tracks and traces every step of their networks, virtually, in real time—empowering them to stay ahead of problems, leapfrog legacy logjams, and capitalize on previously unseen opportunities... with crystal-clear transparency.
