The Founder
We talk to Alexander Palffy (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexanderpalffy/), co-founder and managing director of logistics startup BYWAYS (https://www.byways.io/). Alexander has been one of the first employees at Berlin-based unicorn Sennder (formerly instafreight), where he held at the end the position of head of product. Before he has been optimizing last-mile delivery for Foodora, as well as interned with Roland Berger, among other positions.
Alexander has been studying applied chemistry. He had his first experience as a student in a warehouse as a summer job and has been interested in logistics ever since.
Our tool also translates instructions for example if you have a turkish truck driver and a polish warehouse. So the warehouse can input all instructions in Polish and the driver will see them in Turkish.
