Our mission is to simplify and optimise planning container logistics

The journey

Squid was founded with the mission to simplify and optimise planning container logistics.

Since the very start, Squid has been developing solutions for container logistics. The foundation is solid data management, intuitive design, and advanced algorithms. Squid turns complex puzzles into actionable insights.

Today, Squid partners with planners and takes the stress out of their day. By automating routine decisions and highlighting the exceptions, the software lets planners focus on what truly matters, saving time and reducing friction every day.

Squid makes planning faster, smarter, and more reliable.
