How NFI Is Operationalizing AI Across the Entire Transportation Management Stack

When FreightWaves launched the AI Excellence in Supply Chain Awards , the goal was to cut through the noise of an industry where “AI” has become a marketing buzzword slapped on every press release, and instead spotlight the companies that are leveraging AI in truly revolutionary ways. The awards recognize real deployments and measurable outcomes as opposed to flashy pitches. Entries are judged on the strength of the AI application itself, how deeply it’s integrated into existing workflows, and the tangible results it produces. This year, NFI was named one of the honorees in the Operational AI Integration category for logistics companies. Specifically, the honor goes to the AI work embedded across NFI Transportation Management , the company’s managed transportation arm.
