About CargoLogicTech Inc.

Founded in 2010 in Seattle, CargoLogicTech Inc., a brainchild of three logistics experts, revolutionized logistics with their LogiSync suite. Initially tailored for local enterprises, this innovative software quickly gained popularity, particularly after a partnership with a national e-commerce chain boosted delivery efficiency by 20%, solidifying their market presence. The founders, with over a decade of experience at companies like Amazon, UPS, and FedEx, crafted LogiSync to address logistics inefficiencies with its customizable modules, ranging from real-time analytics to sustainable routing. Its collaborative design and powerful APIs facilitate seamless integration into various business operations, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency. In 2023, LogiSync even began supporting drone deliveries.

Walmart, undergoing a review of its logistics processes, noticed inefficiencies in product tracking and shipping. Intrigued by LogiSync’s success in other enterprises, Walmart is considering overhauling its logistics systems with LogiSync, seeking assurance of smooth integration and positive ROI.

As a Senior Sales Engineer at CargoLogicTech, your role is crucial in demonstrating LogiSync’s value to Walmart. You are responsible for drafting a proposal for the CTO, showcasing LogiSync’s benefits and tailoring it to Walmart’s specific needs. Your task involves understanding Walmart’s logistics, aligning it with LogiSync’s features, collaborating internally, and presenting a compelling case. This proposal is key in the sales process and aims to build a lasting client relationship.
