What if your control tower ran on a team of AI agents? From ETA forecasting to dispute management, see what’s already possible and what 2030 could look like.

Your AI assistant just learned freight. Upply market data is now available directly in ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and Mistral, through our new MCP server. In practice, you can now ask things like: “Build my 2027 road transport budget for Lyon to Milan, Hamburg and Madrid.” “Is this tender offer above or below market?” “Create a rate card for FCL Shanghai to Le Havre and alert me if it moves more than 5%.” “How have fuel and toll surcharges evolved in Germany since January?” “What is driving spot rates in Europe this month?” And get answers grounded in real, up-to-date market benchmarks. I believe market intelligence is moving away from dashboards you have to go and check, toward data that comes to you, inside the tools you already use, at the exact moment you need it. This is our first step in that direction. More is coming very soon. #Freight #Logistics #AI #Procurement

Consolidation, margin pressure, and a market being redrawn by e-commerce giants: 2025 was a turning point for global transport and logistics groups — and 2026 looks even tougher. Global container traffic grew 4.7% to 192.9 million TEU and air freight rose 4.4% to 71.5 million tons, but most major transport groups still saw revenue contraction amid geopolitical disruption and rising fuel costs. In Europe, truck registrations fell 6.2% as operators pulled back on investment, while the driver shortage now stands at 502,000 unfilled positions. At the same time, the competitive landscape is shifting fast: DSV's acquisition of DB Schenker created a €10B+ freight forwarding leader, and e-commerce logistics platforms like JD Logistics and Amazon Supply Chain Services are now competing directly with traditional operators. Download our full financial panorama to understand how the major transport groups performed in 2025 — and what to expect in 2026.
