1142. #TFCP - Building a Logistics Empire from the Ground Up!

  • Summary

  • Today, Matthew Zarzycki joins us to share the founding of MonarKonnect, where he emphasizes kindness and problem-solving in freight logistics! Tune in as we discuss his business philosophy, fostering meaningful relationships with customers and carriers, the advanced technology he’s utilizing for operational efficiency, the current dynamics of cross-border freight, and his perspective on market opportunities for entrepreneurs! About Matthew Zarzycki Matthew Zarzycki, CCLP – Co-Founder of MonarKonnect, Redefining Logistics with a Human-Centered Approach Logistics isn’t just about moving freight—it’s about solving problems, building relationships, and creating a supply chain that works for businesses of all sizes. That’s the foundation of MonarKonnect, the company Matthew Zarzycki co-founded with Katarzyna Wnek to challenge the status quo in third-party logistics. As a Logistics Architect, Matthew is not interested in being another transactional freight broker. MonarKonnect is built on trust, transparency, and a relentless focus on long-term partnerships. By combining big-broker technology with a boutique-level commitment to service, the company is pioneering a new way to manage logistics—one that prioritizes collaboration over volume and innovation over tradition. At MonarKonnect, Matthew leads strategic initiatives that go beyond rate sheets and RFPs. His team develops customized logistics solutions that solve real-world challenges, from temperature-controlled freight optimization to dedicated fleet programs that integrate digital marketing directly onto trailers—helping customers offset transportation costs in innovative ways. In a recent interview with Talking Supply Chain ("A 3PL With a Heart") MonarKonnect’s philosophy was clear: logistics should be personal. That means prioritizing driver relationships, ensuring small and mid-sized businesses get the attention they deserve, and leveraging technology to create efficiency without sacrificing service. Before launching MonarKonnect, Matthew spent over a decade leading logistics operations across military, corporate, and startup environments—beginning with high-stakes supply chain management in Afghanistan and later driving strategic growth at major logistics firms like Bison Transport, Fuel Transport, and Traffix. His experience across every level of the supply chain has shaped MonarKonnect’s customer-first approach. But it’s not just about experience. It’s about rethinking what logistics should be. For shippers tired of one-size-fits-all solutions, MonarKonnect offers something different: a logistics partner who actually listens. And for the industry as a whole, Matthew and his team are proving that innovation, service, and integrity aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the future of 3PL.
