Logistics managers appear to be longer on talk than action when viewing the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
A new survey of logistics managers and organizations from Freightos finds that logistics professionals overwhelmingly (96%) expect to leverage AI for some aspect of their operation. Freightos is a B2B marketplace for air and ocean freight that brings together shippers and freighters.
