UI/UX designer

ABOUT US

We are currently a small team of developers in GP Transco, an established logistics company in the United States. We are basically a startup based inside a financially strong company that offers its employees a great working environment, competitive daily tasks and excellent compensation.

The Company

Started in 2006, today GP Transco is a modern and growing Lithuanian-American logistics company with 3 offices in Vilnius, Chicago, and Los Angeles. We are currently the largest transportation and logistics company in Chicago, and we are ranked the 5th best company in the US to drive for and plan to match these standards in the IT industry.

The Product

5 years ago, we outgrew spreadsheets and our workflow became unmanageable. We looked for existing commercial solutions but could not find anything on the market which fit our needs, therefore we decided to build our own transport and logistics management system (TMS). We are currently successfully using it within our business, testing it with pilot customers, and are now converting it to SaaS. With our high standards, we want to feel proud of our product, and for this, we need 2 substantial keys - UI and UX. Sounds interesting? Keep reading.
