“We had two large government contractor deals that slipped. So it was like right at the end. And we think they'll both land in the first half of next year, but we've also sort of hedge that just in case.”
“The technology does the job... the number one focus of that business is to build both sides of the network. That starts on the broker side by getting native integrations with their TMS systems.”
“We're not baking in an improvement at Neptune... the tariff surcharging program eased late in the year, we remain cautious and are not underwriting the recovery in our 2026 guidance.”
“The biggest constraint was implementation timing across both software and payments, which delayed customer time to value and weighed on payments volumes.”
