Vishal Punamiya, CEO & founder of Ventory, reflects on the value of bringing onboard an expert with a proven track record of success in the industry: "Having known AXIT while at Panalpina (now DSV), I could see first-hand the similarities between the journey of how AXIT evolved as company bringing value to enterprises with visibility and control. I couldn’t be more pleased to have the founder Holger onboard to help guide Ventory through our journey"
