IFS continues to make inroads into AI with the automation of transportation logistics

Today, companies spend 10% of their revenue on transportation, even though logistics remains one of the most challenging areas to manage. Data is scattered across carriers, legacy systems, and spreadsheets, and varies by region. As a result, logistics teams often operate in reactive mode, unable to leverage data they cannot visualize, validate, or compare. In a global logistics market valued at over $9 trillion today and expected to approach $20 trillion by the end of the decade, the sector needs structural transformation, not incremental improvements.

To address this challenge and expand its expertise in AI, the Swedish software company IFS has decided to launch IFS.ai Logistics, an AI-powered logistics intelligence platform designed for companies operating complex transportation networks spread across multiple carriers and countries or regions. Leveraging technology from 7bridges (an American AI company that optimizes its clients’ logistics and transportation costs), which was acquired by the group in 2025, the new solution offers a complete operational loop covering transportation planning, automated execution, freight auditing, cost management, and continuous network optimization. The solution integrates with IFS’s traditional cloud platform, alongside modules for asset management, field service management, enterprise resource planning, and supply chain management.

“Logistics is one of the largest, most disruption-prone, and least controlled cost centers in global industry, with a direct impact on profitability. Over the past five years, we’ve seen that when AI is deployed at scale, directly at the heart of business applications such as logistics operations, companies can create value within weeks. They protect their margins, improve service reliability, and gain agility. With IFS.ai Logistics, that’s exactly what we offer: an AI-driven platform that links every logistics decision to its financial impact. It’s industrial AI applied where it really matters,” said Philip Ashton, President of IFS.ai Logistics.
