About Bobtail

Bobtail is dedicated to increasing happiness by eliminating inefficiencies in the supply chain. We envision a supply chain without friction, fraud, waste, and abuse where companies succeed based on the value they create.

We work in a unique way at Bobtail, where we value teams over individuals and encourage experimentation and iteration to constantly improve. Teams are given flexibility in working towards a shared purpose and given the freedom to decide how they will accomplish their goals.
