The Inbox That Learned to Move Freight
Freight still runs on the most advanced network of 1998: the inbox, the phone and somebody remembering what to do next. Vooma began by teaching software to survive that chaos - then discovered the clerical mess was the market.

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.
