As I shared in our last earnings call, in the near term we will focus on expanding our solutions business, leading our expansion into both ocean and procurement management, as well as deepening our engagement with customers, and converting that momentum into durable transaction growth across the platform. We have built a category-defining platform, and I look forward to building on this as we expand its role across global freight."
