Using machine learning to increase visibility, and forecasting in global shipping - a chat with Portcast.io's Nidhi Gupta Sustainable Supply Chain

Send me a message
The maritime shipping industry has for a very long time been extremely opaque, analog, and consequently data poor. Fortunately that is starting to change.

One company helping to change that is Singapore's Portcast.io. On this episode of the podcast, I was fortunate enough to get to chat with Nidhi Gupta (@NidhiG_Portcast on Twitter), co-founder and CEO of Portcast.io.

We had a great chat (where I learned loads about this industry) about how access to all kinds of data is helping Portcast.io (and by extension their customers) get a far better idea about when ships are likely to arrive or leave ports. This is crucial data for many organisations.

I really enjoyed putting this podcast together, I hope you enjoy listening to it.
