Weft - http://weft.io - Boston MA. INTERN or REMOTE are both welcome!
===========================
====== What we do =========
===========================
We're Waze for Cargo. Building hardware to put inside of shipping containers so our customers get realtime visibility into their supply chain. We're then taking the info we get from the hardware and figuring out where the bottlenecks in the supply chain are, predicting whether or not a shipment is going to make it to its destination on time, and dynamically rerouting/rescheduling shipments so that we can optimize the system as a whole. Really neat stuff.
===========================
===== How we do it ========
===========================
Web stack -> clojure (immutant) + HANA (really scary database on crack) -- we use middleman + enlive (and a bit of hiccup) for templating
Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)
Hardware -> prototyped with arduino, still using atmel uC but no longer arduino-ey. Manufacture-ready. In the process of sourcing for large scale manufacturing. Have some pilots running.
===========================
====== And the rest =======
===========================
We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies).
Looking for help at every point in the system (hardware, firmware, frontend, backend, algorithms, mobile, etc).
If this sounds interesting, please shoot me an email at marc@weft.io!
Marc,
With about 35 years of moving stuff around for a living (from bike messenger to air cargo and all in-between) I can resonate with Weft. Had it existed years ago I would have fewer white hairs. While I have a day job arranging financing for railroad projects (strategicrail.com), I'd love to explore helping you with business development.
