The Impact of AI on Freight Procurement: Transforming Operations Through Automation | Episode 53

Banyan Technology’s Tire Tracks® podcast kicks off its 6-part mini-series, The Impact of AI on Freight Procurement, with Roger Boza, Chief AI Officer at CloneOps.ai.

In this episode, Boza breaks down how AI is already transforming freight procurement, from automated document classification and invoice processing to voice-enabled rate negotiations. He also explores the rise of agent-to-agent AI communication and how logistics teams are leveraging automation to do more with fewer resources.

“This isn’t about replacing jobs. It is about enhancing them,” Boza said. “AI gives logistics teams back their most valuable resource: time.”

As a PhD candidate in AI, Boza offers a rare perspective on translating AI theory into practical supply chain solutions. Learn how 3PLs, Shippers and logistics providers can adopt AI responsibly to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and maintain control over freight operations.
