## About Quincus

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Quincus builds a decision engine that optimizes routing, pricing, and network design for physical supply chains – ports, air cargo, freight forwarding, and healthcare logistics.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B – most recent round led by AE Industrial Partners in November 2021)
- **Headquarters**: Singapore, Singapore
- **Founded**: 2014
- **Founders**: Jonathan Savoir (Co-Founder & CEO), Katherina Lacey (Co-Founder & CPO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Supply chain logistics optimization, maritime and port operations, air cargo, freight forwarding, healthcare logistics, agricultural logistics, bulk energy.
- **Target customers**: Enterprise – sovereign port authorities, air cargo carriers, freight forwarders, national healthcare supply operators, terminal operators.
- **Mission or purpose statement**: Quincus strives to solve the most pressing supply chain problems by empowering the entire ecosystem – employees, vendors, customers, and hubs – to instantly respond to market changes using real-time visibility and machine learning optimization. The platform acts as a single source of truth that enables everyone to make decisions based on the same data. [builtin.com](https://builtin.com/company/quincus/)

## Products & Services
- **Quincus Optimization Engine**: A core engine covering six problem classes – routing and sequencing, pricing and yield, cost-to-serve, stochastic modeling, estimation and ground truth, and network design. It has run continuously against real operations for 12 years and is protected by a granted U.S. patent on stochastic maritime and supply chain optimization. [quincus.com](https://quincus.com/)
- **Sector Platforms** (layered on top of the same engine):
  - **Maritime and Ports**: Sovereign port authority optimization at national scale.
  - **Air Cargo**: Capacity, pricing, and offer management for carriers and handlers.
  - **Freight Forwarding**: Multimodal execution and route optimization.
  - **Healthcare Logistics**: National healthcare supply operations with tenant isolation.
  - **Agricultural and Perishable**: Supply resilience where the window is set by biology.
  - **Bulk and Energy**: Berth, jetty, and corridor intelligence for terminal operators.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue estimated at **USD 14.2 million** (source: LinkedIn company data). Total funding amount not publicly disclosed; known rounds include:
  - Grant (Sep 2021) – USD 18,481, led by Singapore Tourism Accelerator
  - Seed Round (Jan 2015) – 1 investor
  - Series A (Mar 2020) – 3 investors, led by GGV Capital
  - Series A (Apr 2024) – 1 investor (unconfirmed)
  - Series B (Nov 2021) – 3 investors, led by AE Industrial Partners

- **Growth Signals**:
  - 7‑country operating footprint and 22 live production integrations.
  - Opened an R&D office in Toronto, Canada in 2022 with a “female-dominated” team.
  - Active in multiple verticals (port, air cargo, healthcare, agriculture).
  - LinkedIn follower base of 20,141 (steady year‑over‑year growth).

## Competitive Advantages
- **12 years of continuous production** on the same core engine – the system has never been a research prototype; it has run live freight, air cargo, port, and healthcare logistics operations.
- **Patented technology** – a granted U.S. patent on stochastic maritime and supply chain optimization.
- **Uncertainty‑first engineering** – the engine treats uncertainty (demand shifts, capacity decay, weather, chokepoints) as a primary object rather than an average to smooth away.
- **Network‑wide optimization** – pricing, routing, and network design are solved from the same underlying model, not separate silos.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expand sector platforms** – build sector‑specific offerings (healthcare, perishable, bulk energy) on top of the same core to address industry‑specific constraints (e.g., biological windows in agriculture).
- **Prove value against ground truth** – engagements start with a bounded problem and a measurable baseline; the platform expands only after demonstrating real‑world savings.
- **Geographic and vertical growth** – the Toronto R&D office signals further investment in machine learning and engineering talent outside Singapore.

## Why Work Here
- **Engineering culture** – the company hires people who “think in systems” and are comfortable being measured against ground truth. The team includes world‑class AI, supply chain, and modeling engineers.
- **Remote and hybrid options** – the Toronto office offers remote or in‑office roles; Singapore headquarters is hybrid. A remote work program is available.
- **Stock purchase plan** – employees are offered an employee stock purchase plan.
- **Innovation environment** – work on production optimization systems that directly impact national‑scale logistics (ports, healthcare supply chains).
- **Diversity** – the Toronto R&D office was announced as female‑dominated.
