The Intelligent Logistics Platform
About us
Raft is the intelligent logistics platform that’s rewriting the technology playbook for freight forwarders and customs brokers in the automation era. We empower our customers to drive efficiency, collaborate effectively, and deliver more value to their shipper end-customers by automating shipment execution across the entire lifecycle—from operations, finance, customs, and sales to visibility and emissions reporting. Raft embeds AI into workflows and standardizes diverse data inputs—whether email content, EDI, or API—in order to drive lower-touch shipment execution. This frees up teams to focus on higher value work while reducing costs and driving profitability. Founded in 2017, Raft serves 60 freight forwarders in 30+ countries globally, including 40% of the A&A’s Top 25 Global Freight Forwarders List. Our platform is used to execute over 300k shipments per month, saving customers up to 2 hours on every shipment. Find out more: www.raft.ai.

🌍🚢 The Agentic Future of Global Trade In today’s unpredictable global trade environment, supply chain disruptions, shifting tariffs and geopolitical tensions are the norm rather than the exception. Agentic AI platforms are emerging as the next frontier in global trade and commerce. These AI-driven systems act autonomously, making real-time decisions, adapting dynamically to disruptions and reducing reliance on slow manual processes. In her latest article, Victoria Zuo shares her early hypotheses that have the potential to define the next generation of agentic global trade and commerce, including: 1️⃣ AI-powered import customs brokers: managing tariffs with precision 2️⃣ Autonomous sourcing agents: AI-powered procurement in an unstable world 3️⃣ AI-enhanced FX hedging and faster global payments: reducing capital friction 4️⃣ Intelligent trade document processing: automating compliance & risk management 5️⃣ Predictive supply chain analytics: seeing around corners 6️⃣ AI-driven price & demand optimization: playing offense in volatile markets 7️⃣ Why the next era of global trade is agentic 🌐💡The companies building agentic infrastructure today will define the winners of the next decade in global trade.
