Our take

Raft is tackling the massive opportunity of automating mundane, repetitive tasks in the enterprise world, saving companies big bucks on labour-intensive processes By harnessing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), Raft's tech is helping businesses replace hundreds of data entry roles with seamless automation, dramatically improving efficiency.

The company smartly started with a specific focus on freight forwarding,a sector flooded with paper-based data processing and email attachments. With this narrow yet high-impact approach, Raft quickly expanded into customs broking workflow automation. Now serving 0 freight forwarders across 40+ countries, including 40% of A%A's Top 25 Global Freight Forwarders, Raft has proven its value to some of the biggest players in the game.

Since launching, Raft has grown exponentially and it isn't slowing down any time soon. As the company continues to evolve, its main goal is to add even more value for customers - beyond just automation - ensuring it stays at the cutting-edge of enterprise efficiency.
