Flexport founder and CEO Ryan Petersen announced that the company is entering a new phase with a strong focus on artificial intelligence and serving large enterprise customers, signaling a move beyond its start-up origins. Speaking at the TPM conference in Long Beach, Petersen stated that Flexport is intensifying efforts to automate significant portions of its freight forwarding operations, with a particular emphasis on the coordination tasks that connect shippers, carriers, and service providers. He also addressed the persistent perception of Flexport as solely a digital entity.
