PAXAFE is an AI-powered supply chain decision-intelligence platform focused on predicting adverse shipment events before they cause losses, with particular depth in cold chain logistics. The company was founded in Milwaukee in 2018 by Ashok Seetharam and Ilya Preston and relocated its headquarters to Indianapolis in 2021.
The platform, called CONTXT, combines telematics data, third-party information, and ERP data to give shippers, carriers, and insurers a live view of shipment risk, automating lane risk assessments and root-cause analysis when a claim happens rather than leaving that work to a manual review after the fact. The company points to cold chain failures costing the pharmaceutical industry roughly 35 billion dollars a year as the core problem it targets, and it runs on Microsoft Azure.
PAXAFE serves cold chain manufacturers, logistics service providers, and cargo insurers in health, life sciences, and high-value goods sectors rather than general parcel shippers. Pricing is not published; prospective customers book a demo through the company's website to get a quote.
