Stop time, not drive time, is logistics’ next efficiency gain
For many logistics operators, route optimisation has traditionally been viewed as a question of distance, traffic, and sequencing. But for delivery networks optimised with AI and routing technology, the biggest source of inefficiency is not on the road anymore. It is at the stop. Every delivery network evolves over time. New depots are added, different […]
The swivelling must stop: why the supply chain needs a single, secure AI agent to rule them all
By Jonah McIntire, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Trimble There’s no question that our global supply chain is powered by data. Increasingly intelligent tech solutions pull, analyse and act on this massive amount of data from a multitude of sources. For the past 40+ years, the transportation and logistics industry has settled into an inefficient […]
Fewer collisions, lower costs: The case for AI-powered fleet safety with Motive
Fleet leaders are under more pressure than ever. Rising road risk, tightening compliance requirements, and the constant challenge of doing more with fewer resources have made reactive safety management untenable. Your technology needs to move from merely surfacing data to actually helping your team act on what it finds. Motive’s AI powered integrated operations platform […]

How AI is Transforming Fleet Management and Giving Operators a Critical Efficiency Advantage
The fleet and haulage sector is under increasing pressure to improve safety, reduce costs and operate with greater efficiency. Artificial intelligence is fast becoming one of the most effective ways to achieve these goals. From predictive maintenance to data driven route planning, AI enabled systems are allowing operators to make better decisions, prevent breakdowns and […]
AI in logistics: Helping to understand performance and environmental impact
Real-time data insights are transforming logistics performance, driving down costs and improving CO2 emissions management. Adding Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Transport Management Systems (TMS) is set to further enhance the depth and breadth of data, extending automation and enhancing predictive insights, as Elmer Spruijt (pictured), VP, Global Sales, Descartes explains… Real-Time Visibility The growing availability of real-time […]
AI In Action: How smarter logistics can drive sustainability gains
By Philipp Pfister, Sector Vice President, Transporeon How do you decarbonise an industry built on movement? Freight alone is responsible for an estimated 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions according to McKinsey: a stark reminder of the sector’s environmental footprint. The cost of inefficiency is simply too big to ignore. As supply chains stretch and demand […]
Fleet managers believe AI can play crucial role in making roads safer – research
Real-time driver alerts and assistance powered by artificial intelligence (AI) are being recognised as key to improving fleet safety, with 69% of UK fleet operators identifying them as AI’s most promising application. That’s according to a new study conducted by Webfleet and video telematics partner Lytx, which surveyed 200 UK fleet decision-makers. More than two-thirds (68%) highlighted AI’s role in analysing telematics data […]
