Burt
Burt (YC W26) builds AI teammates for logistics. The San Francisco company helps freight brokers and forwarders deploy AI coworkers that handle repetitive, manual work end-to-end - check calls, document processing, covering loads, invoicing - by reading emails, making calls, logging into portals, and updating the customer's TMS, following each team's own processes. Founded by Bobby Zhong and Kurt Sharma, both of whom grew up in logistics families, Burt started by training specialized models that beat frontier models on cost and latency, then focused those models on freight operations.

The Freight Back Office Is Up for Grabs — And Everyone Wants Pallet's Lunch
A competitive map of the freight-AI automation field, positioning Pallet against the venture-backed newcomers HappyRobot and Vooma, the entrenched TMS software vendors, and the offshore BPO shops that have long run the logistics back office. Pallet, a San Francisco startup that raised $27M Series B (bringing total funding to $50M), sells CoPallet, an 'AI workforce' that completes end-to-end logistics workflows inside TMS, WMS and ERP systems 10x faster and at roughly half the cost of human staffing. The story surveys how each rival attacks the same back-office spend and where Pallet's end-to-end, system-of-record approach differs.

The Freight Data You Already Owned, Finally Talking Back
Pallet Atlas is a data intelligence platform for logistics that ingests operational data from TMS, WMS, ERP systems, email, and documents, then normalizes and connects customers, subsidiaries, facilities, lanes, and contracts into a single network model. It enriches that model with outside signals like spot rates, lane density, distribution center locations, and weather, and lets operators ask plain-English questions to surface hidden revenue opportunities in seconds instead of days.

The Agent Factory: How Pallet Forge Turned Six Months Into Six Weeks
On May 14, 2026, logistics AI company Pallet launched Pallet Forge, an 'agent factory' that compresses the build-and-deploy cycle for production-grade logistics AI agents from roughly six months to six weeks. Authored by co-founder and CEO Sushanth Raman, the announcement frames Forge as Pallet's answer to the industry's pilot-to-production gap — citing the MIT finding that only 5% of enterprise GenAI pilots generate measurable P&L impact. Forge works by connecting to a customer's systems (TMS, WMS, ERP, EDI, email, and legacy AS400), encoding operational rules and carrier preferences inferred from historical data instead of hand-written SOPs, and running thousands of simulations to tune agent accuracy automatically. Early proof points include Everest Transportation running on 20,000+ customer-specific encoded memories and Eassons Transport Group hitting 98% touchless processing after going live in 40 days — with subsequent customers onboarded in as little as 48 hours.
