Envoy AI

Looking forward to FreightWaves F3 next week in Chattanooga! 🙌 Excited to reconnect with industry friends and cheer on our CEO, Robert Nathan as he joins the powerhouse Julie Van de Kamp for a fireside chat on operational leverage and the future of freight. Plus Envoy AI will have a special announcement for the next generation of logistics leaders. 👀 Think hands-on experience, support for their education, and a path to becoming the next “bosses of machines” in the era of AI. If you’ll be there, let’s connect! #F3 #EnvoyAI #FutureOfLogistics

From the Stage at JOC #Inland26 “Brokerage scale used to mean adding people. In a margin compressed market, that equation has to change. The next generation of leaders will create operational leverage, using AI to increase capacity, improve execution and protect margin.” — Robert Nathan, CEO, Envoy AI Ready to create more operational leverage?

Last October, Robert Nathan predicted that AI would kill load boards. In this week's Socratic Shipper, he admits he got it wrong, mostly. The boards are staying. What's changing is that reps will spend far less time inside them. That shifts the question for brokerages. Instead of asking whether the load board survives, ask how many hours your reps spent in it last week, and how many of those hours ended in a decision only a human could make.

In freight, the harness must communicate in both directions, to the machines that run it and the people who move it. When it only runs one way, the learning enters through a mode of communication and exits through the mode of communication. That's a loop that bleeds. https://lnkd.in/g4E2ncmx

The conversation isn’t really about AI anymore. It’s about what AI makes possible. That was the perspective our CEO, Robert Nathan , brought to the stage at #Inland26, joining leaders from Vooma and HappyRobot for Agents of Change, moderated by the legendary Eric Johnson. Three companies. Different approaches. Healthy competition. One shared belief that freight can work better. Great conversations move industries forward. Thank you to the JOC team for creating the space for this one. 🚀

In 2012, I was trying to convince the freight industry that pricing could be automated. Most people thought I was early. Some thought I was wrong. At the time, Julie Van de Kamp was at U.S. Xpress, Inc. and the first super user of our tech. Now Julie is Chief Customer Officer SONAR and the Anchor on FreightWaves Today. I’m building Envoy AI where Ellie, our AI freight operator, turns insight into action Looking forward to sitting down with Julie at F3 in Chattanooga, Oct 27–28, to talk about what it takes to be early twice. The winners won’t be the companies that replace those people. They’ll be the ones that give every operator a team of AI behind them. One person, ten times the freight. That’s the labor layer. It’s the largest untapped asset in logistics.
