Dear Virtual Latinos,
We’re looking to hire 1 VA through this job that the Virtual Latinos Agency is publishing on behalf of an existing client.
Client & Short Job Description:
Software technology firm in Florida focused on building custom software only for the logistics and transportation industry. As they’ve grown and developed products for their clients, they’ve been able to reuse various components of the multiple software systems, which has helped them create a standard software that can be used by many of their new potential clients. Including features freight forwarding (International shipping), complex storage solutions, courier services, and e-commerce. Thus, they’re moving away from custom-software, to a more standard software app they can now offer new clients.
They’ll continue to still offer custom-made software (if they have the budget), or if they have a smaller budget, they’ll offer the new standard software. Due to the nature of these 2 options, they’re offering also a hybrid option. They consider themselves experts in the e-commerce logistics industry.
