When people hear AI they often think about sentient robots and magic boxes. AI today is much more mundane and simple—but that doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. Another misconception is that high-profile research projects can be applied directly to any business situation. AI done right can create extreme return on investments (ROIs)—for instance through automation or precise prediction. But it does take thought, time and proper implementation. We have seen that success and value generated by AI projects is increased when there is a grounded understanding and expectation of what the technology can deliver from the C-suite down.

The demands of running global supply chains can be unrelenting – perfection of operations, innovation in support of lastmile delivery, and assurances of sustainability in the pursuit of delivering the “perfect order” as promised. Now, transportation companies face the additional challenge of sharpening their core competencies while increasing the pace of innovation, adapting emerging technologies, and sharing data with their customers to improve transparency and efficiency. Long characterized by capital-intensive assets, forward-looking cargo companies are turning their attention to the data that comes from their own assets and infrastructure as well as from their customers. It is a complex transition, one that requires knowledge-based labor, automation, and predictive planning to turn transportation companies into digital platforms.
