Lean Staffing Solutions raises $42.5 million from FTV Capital
Summary
Lean began in 2016 by helping logistics companies fill back-office roles like carrier compliance, payments processing and track and trace, but then expanded its offerings to include sales, marketing and technology. Today, Lean provides U.S. transportation and logistics companies with employees ranging from fleet dispatchers to graphic designers, carrier operations representations to full-stack software developers. We don’t necessarily want to force the issue to get too far outside transportation and logistics because of Robert and his management team’s expertise, but it will be interesting to see how the model can pivot to tangential customers.” Cadena said that Lean would use the capital to both add some new services that weren’t on the road map before and to accelerate its existing plans. He wants to build or buy a sophisticated team of consultants who can manage the whole build-out of Lean’s engagement with a client, comprehensively covering sales, marketing, staffing and technology. Last month, FreightWaves covered freight brokerage Edge Logistics’ launch of its CAPACITY platform on mobile; Lean Tech developed the app.
