TMS vendor Eyefreight expands in South America

   The European-based software-as-a-service transportation management system provider Eyefreight said this week it has begun expansion in Brazil with the addition of Luiz Martins, who will serve as sales director for Latin America.
   The move follows Eyefreight’s recent North American expansion, with the opening of regional headquarters in Evanston, Ill.
   “Eyefreight understands the strategic importance and complexity of the Latin American supply chain economy and sees Brazil as the center of the rapid growth occurring across the region,” said Eyefreight Chief Executive Officer Ken Fleming. “Luiz’s experience in the field, his knowledge of the transportation management space in Brazil and his sales expertise provide a critical foundation for Eyefreight to build upon in the Latin American market.”
   Eyefreight said it has tripled in size since its founding in 2008, and has recently secured a $11.8-million round of funding. Its customer list includes Campari, Heineken, Levi’s, Mango and Tata Steel.
