Flexport needed a partner to help scale our ability to rapidly integrate with our clients in a cost effective way. We found an excellent partner in Jade Global! In the short course of less than a year, we have been able to move 100% of the technical delivery of our standardized integrations offshore with Jade, allowing our employees to focus on the more complex bespoke integrations. Our broader team has been very appreciative of the contributions of the Jade team! They have proven to be motivated, hard working and have the desire to learn and take on more responsibilities. We are planning to continue to expand the scope and responsibility of this team
