AI is no longer a buzzword in logistics — it’s becoming a competitive advantage. In the latest episode of Talking Transports, I sit down with Harish Abbott, CEO and co-founder of Augment, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the freight industry. Harish explains how Augie, Augment’s AI teammate, automates end-to-end brokerage workflows — from order to cash — while improving service levels and reducing costs. We also discuss: 🤖 How AI and machine learning are reshaping freight brokerage 🚛 Why supply chains are still in the early innings of adoption 📉 Productivity gains for brokers, shippers, and carriers 👥 The challenges of scaling AI talent in a hot market 🔄 The importance of change management for successful implementation 📦 How Harish’s early years at Amazon sparked his passion for fixing logistics inefficiencies It’s an insightful look at the future of work in transportation — and how AI will power the next wave of efficiency. 🎧 Listen here for episode 116: Apple: https://bit.ly/3MNKGre Spotify: https://bit.ly/4ppDjVj iHeart: https://ihr.fm/4q3grLv Bloomberg.com: https://bit.ly/4pAyI32 Bloomberg Terminal: https://bit.ly/4oMvg3U #logisticslee #logisticlee #AI #MachineLearning #Logistics #FreightTech #SupplyChain #Transportation #Automation #TalkingTransports #BloombergIntelligence

Freight fraudsters are going to hate this one. 📞 Augie now verifies carriers instantly by their phone number. No more manual lookups. No more friction. Just fast, confident conversations and better fraud protection.

Accessorials shouldn’t be a scavenger hunt. That's why Augie now detects lumper and detention fees automatically during track & trace — capturing the details your team used to chase across calls, emails, and notes. More margin recovered. 💵📈 More proof when customers ask. 🧾✔️ More time for operators to focus on the work that actually moves freight. ⏱️🚚

💸 Augie just leveled up rate negotiation. When a carrier names a rate, every second counts. Augie can now instantly counter based on your targets, and keep the rep in the loop to finalize the deal. The outcome: more reps hitting target on the first counter, less margin leakage, and price discipline that scales. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g3yN5JRq

📧 Email chaos, meet Augie. Augie now automatically categorizes inbox messages — labeling tenders, PODs, and invoices so your team can focus on freight, not filters. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gpDFS8_z
