Acquisition of Boxton Freight Automation

July 27, 2022

We recently acquired Boxton’s freight automation platform to deliver superior Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered freight services to our global customers. Boxton is a freight automation platform for shippers seeking transportation service by land, air, or ocean. 

The proprietary program automates freight procurement to keep global supply chains running smoothly. Customers can access a marketplace of select, vetted, global shipping companies that provide competitive pricing and enhanced visibility.

Boxton’s AI decreases the time to obtain a freight quote from days to minutes by scanning emails and PDF quotes and uploading the information to the platform. The result is a comprehensive quote that clearly defines all charges. Shippers use data-driven technology to consolidate and track orders end-to-end. They can view real-time tracking information, manage documentation, communicate with different parties, and keep essential details in one portal to automate and cut down on data entry. 

Shippers are also able to track and offset their carbon footprint through Boxton’s carbon emissions calculator and partnership with Carbonfund.org.

Boxton’s freight automation platform elevates our customers’ user experience by meeting them where they already work, whether that’s Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email. The result is faster, smarter, reliable shipping that’s better for our planet. We’re excited about the relationships Boxton has with ocean and air freight carriers, and we’re going to continue to expand those relationships. This is the future of freight.
