"Youth and enthusiasm is probably what got me started on it."
That's a quote by the CEO of Tai Software "Mitch" Mitchell when asked how someone wakes up one day and decides to build a TMS for freight brokerages.
But after years in logistics and a background in computer science, he was the perfect person to do it. Today he joins the show to talk all about it.
QUOTABLES:
1. "Youth and enthusiasm is probably what got me started on it."
2. "You got to balance the two and make sure that you have both a really strong technical skill set as well as really specific industry knowledge."
3. "And if you're going to tackle TMS, those two components have to go together."
4. "You know, sometimes we lose sight of what the technology is supposed to be doing and who it's supposed to be helping."
5. "You can't just build it and then use it forever. You have to continually invest in technology."
