Let’s be real: freight forwarding is already complex enough without another “transformational technology” being thrown in your face. But AI? Okay—this one’s worth a look. Not the fluffy, sci-fi, robot-will-take-your-job kind. The practical, use-it-now-to-make-your-day-less-of-a-mess kind. So here’s how AI is actually helping forwarders right now. In ways that matter. In ways that work.

If you’ve worked in freight forwarding for more than five minutes, you’ve probably stared down a mountain of paperwork thinking, “There’s gotta be a better way.” Shipping orders, customs forms, invoices, packing lists, insurance docs—half your day can vanish just trying to keep it all in line.

Outsourcing transport services means delegating cargo transportation tasks to a specialized company.

Accordingly, the transported cargo is also referred to as commercial.
