🚚 More and more teams are experimenting with #GenerativeAI in logistics, according to Shefali Kapadia via Supply Chain Dive. Shiny demos are exciting, but where is #SupplyChainTechnology actually driving measurable outcomes in complex supply chains? The difference lies in building intelligent supply chains that go beyond experimentation: ✅ Real-time shipment views for faster action ✅ Early alerts to prevent delays ✅ Simpler choices that reduce freight spend and increase efficiency Together, transportation management systems and enterprise-ready AI drive greater value for logistics teams.

Imagine knowing about possible shipment delays before they even happen. That’s where AI changes the game for logistics and freight forwarding teams! By analyzing real-time data like traffic, weather, and port activity, AI instantly spots risks and alerts your team. It can even flag small changes that could impact delivery times: think blocked routes or sudden weather shifts: and recommend the fastest alternatives, all before your shipment hits a snag. With Turbox AI, no more guesswork. Your team gets practical recommendations right when they’re needed, so you can plan smarter, communicate faster, and keep customers happy. That’s a win for everyone! Ready to see fewer delays and smoother deliveries?

Your forward logistics system may hum along, but your returns workflow is likely screaming for help. Traditional WMS platforms struggle when mixed pallets, job-based returns, and damaged goods hit the dock. The latest blog from Continuum AI unpacks how AI image recognition and smart routing turn chaotic returns into real-time inventory and process control. Warehouse teams regain visibility, finance avoids write-offs, and your operation shifts from reactive to proactive. https://bit.ly/4qpNyde

Watch how Autotrader and Kelley Blue Book are helping dealers maximize opportunities—wherever shoppers are. From AI bridging the gap between online engagement and in-store trust, to remote trade-in solutions, today’s dealers need tools that deliver a seamless omnichannel experience.

On a recent episode of TPM Today, Optimal Dynamics CEO Daniel Powell spoke with Eric Johnson about how decision automation helps fleets move beyond static planning. For example, instead of locking in hard rules, AI can now observe, adapt, and even recommend changes that unlock hidden opportunities — like extending a driver’s radius by 50 miles to gain an extra $100,000 a month in profit (while still meeting service and home-time goals). That’s the future of dynamic transportation management.
