Coming Soon to Inland Academy: Navigating the AI Craze
Logistics powers global economies, with route optimization, supply chain visibility, and demand forecasting already being shaped by artificial intelligence in transportation operations. But the real challenge isn’t finding AI tools, it’s finding the right ones for the problems you need to solve.
Why Artificial Intelligence in Transportation & Logistics Matters Right Now
In an industry where margins are tight, disruptions are constant, and visibility is critical, having the proper AI-driven tools can transform how shippers operate. AI can help solve the logistics industry’s most pressing challenges—right when shippers need it most.
At Inland Academy, the precursor to the Journal of Commerce Inland Distribution Conference (known as ‘Inland25’), Jason Traff, Shipwell President and Co-Founder will share a simple framework for evaluating the role of artificial intelligence in transportation and your logistics operation. His session, Navigating the AI Craze for Shippers, will explore:
- Separating fact from fiction — practical applications of AI in logistics to solve actual problems
- Responsibly & strategically deployed AI — high-value use cases delivering ROI for shippers
- Predicting the future — where AI is headed and how leaders can start using AI today
Shipwell’s AI in Action
Shipwell has securely deployed AI built into its Transportation Management System (TMS) to help shippers improve efficiency, lower costs, and enhance service quality - without adding complexity.
Through its conversational AI, agentic workers and AI workflows, shippers can more easily:
- Maintain real-time visibility from order to final mile
- Optimize decisions with predictive insights
- Reduce operational strain on teams while improving accuracy
Learn from the Field
Attendees will walk away from Jason’s session with a clear, actionable framework for applying AI in logistics, integrating it into their operational strategy, and understanding how it can benefit their organization.
