The $8.5 Billion Brain Behind the Things on Your Shelf
Blue Yonder is trying to give the global supply chain one shared brain - from the forecast to the forklift to the final return. Its real advantage is less about flashy AI than joining thousands of ordinary decisions before they become expensive surprises.
Manhattan Associates
The software behind a delivery promise has to reconcile a shelf, a warehouse, a truck and a customer in seconds. Manhattan Associates has spent 35 years turning that hidden choreography into an enterprise platform - and now it is teaching AI agents to help run it.
ArchLynk
ArchLynk has built a global business around the unglamorous systems that decide whether a shipment moves, a warehouse flows and a product clears customs. Its bet is that deep SAP supply-chain specialization can beat the sprawling generalist integrator.
Haladir
Haladir is a San Francisco AI product lab (YC W26) building the decisional AI layer for logistics. It pairs formal optimization solvers with large language models so software can reason through hard constraints - routing, scheduling, labor and inventory allocation - and produce verifiable, optimal decisions instead of confident guesses. Its Nomos framework sits on top of existing WMS, TMS and OMS systems, unifies their data into one operational graph, and drives decisions through operator review, direct integration, or AI agents.
GoComet
GoComet is an AI-native logistics platform that helps global manufacturers and shippers run their end-to-end supply chains - from freight procurement and shipment tracking to invoice reconciliation - on a single cloud-based system. Founded in 2018 by four IIT Delhi graduates and headquartered in Singapore, it is used by 500+ enterprise shippers, including several Fortune 500 companies, across 35+ countries to cut freight costs, gain real-time visibility, and automate manual logistics workflows.

The company serves more than 1,200 clients and over 150,000 subscription units across Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, and raised a US$12 million Series A in 2024 to expand across Asia.
Highway
Highway is a Dallas-based logistics technology company that built the freight industry's Carrier Identity platform, verifying that the carrier a broker books is who they claim to be. Founded in 2022 by former TriumphPay CEO Jordan Graft, Highway connects a carrier's digital identity to its physical operations to stop double brokering, impersonation and freight fraud in real time. Its Identify, Connect and Monitor products - plus the newer Trusted Freight Exchange - serve more than 1,050 brokers, including 70 of the 100 largest freight brokers in the United States.
Renaissant
Renaissant is a Milwaukee-based logistics software company that builds a Yard Execution System (YES) - an integrated platform that orchestrates the movement of trucks, drivers and freight across the gate, dock and yard. By connecting people, systems and devices into a single load record, Renaissant automates scheduling, driver validation, gate access, yard moves and digital paperwork while also handling environmental compliance like California's WAIRE/ISR rule. The company raised a $5M Series A in July 2024 and counts shippers and 3PLs such as Shell, Penske, C.H. Robinson and NFI among its users.

Founded in 2016 by Greg Price and Jason Traff, it helps shippers and logistics teams across food & beverage, manufacturing, and distribution move freight with less manual work. After selling its brokerage arm to CloudTrucks in 2024, Shipwell now operates as a pure-play SaaS provider and has been named a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for TMS for five consecutive years.
