Pando Launches Pi – AI Teams for Logistics, Enabling Autonomous
Freight Procurement, Planning, and Payments for Global Brands
LAS VEGAS (Feb. 10, 2025) – Pando, the leading Logistics AI company, today announced the
launch of its AI Teams for Logistics, a groundbreaking suite of AI Agents designed to automate
freight procurement, dispatch planning, and freight audit and payment processes for global
brands. Purpose-built to transform logistics operations, its new ‘Logistics Services as Software’
model enables manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to replace manual, error-prone tasks
with intelligent automation to unlock unprecedented efficiency and cost savings by replacing
the need for hiring additional staff or more software with AI agents. Pi redefines both logistics
and talent strategies, accelerating the shift toward a world where Human Intelligence and
Artificial Intelligence work together to drive complex business processes. Pando’s AI Agents act
as a team of smart analysts, empowering logistics managers to delegate important yet
repetitive decisions to these agents, who execute them with unmatched accuracy.
Pando’s CEO Nitin Jayakrishnan and global technology executive, public and private company
board director Suja Chandra will showcase Pando’s AI Teams through a live demonstration at
Manifest 2025 in Las Vegas from February 10-12 at booth #1408, giving industry leaders an
exclusive look at how AI is reshaping global transportation management.
Automating Routine Decisions with AI Teams
For decades, logistics teams have been weighed down by time-consuming processes —
coordinating with carriers, negotiating rates, verifying invoices, tracking shipment delays, and
ensuring contract compliance and service delivery. These tasks, while critical, are cumbersome,
and distract teams from focusing on strategic initiatives that drive top and bottom line for the
brands they serve. Teams can now break this cycle by hiring AI Teams that can automate
routine tasks such as invoice audits, payments processing, carrier collaboration, and freight
spend analysis and reporting.
Pando’s AI Teams are already deployed at some of the world’s largest brands. Seamlessly
integrated with business systems, third-party tools, and market data Pando creates an
enterprise-specific supply chain knowledge graph. This dynamic, real-time representation of the
logistics network continuously trains enterprise-specific Logistics Language Models® (LLMs) that
not only understand multi-modal global logistics but precisely understand the context of
individual businesses and their networks. This allows Pando’s AI Teams to execute repetitive
tasks and decisions in freight and transportation management with high precision.
From Automation to Intelligence: AI Teams That Execute Complex Logistics Decisions
With more data and continuous learning, AI Teams take on increasingly complex and high-value
logistics decisions. For example, Pando’s AI Teams now procure freight across multiple modes
and geographies, ensuring optimal pricing and carrier selection for both spot and long-term
contracts autonomously. It determines the best modal mix, optimizes carrier allocations,
bundles lanes, negotiates rates, and finalizes contracts, all while ensuring alignment with
broader service level expectations. AI Teams can also audit, validate invoices, execute claims
processes, and pay freight invoices across all modes, services, and currencies, identifying
discrepancies and even resolving disputes by collaborating directly with carriers to resolve
invoice disputes.
The Future of Logistics: AI Teams Partnering with Human Teams
Pando represents a fundamental shift in how logistics teams operate. Moving beyond simple
automation, it creates a model where human intelligence and artificial intelligence collaborate
seamlessly. Instead of spending their time on routine decisions, logistics professionals can now
focus on strategy, innovation, and higher-value problem-solving, supported by AI Agents that
execute with precision and reliability.
“Logistics teams are burdened with too many ‘keep-the-lights-on’ tasks—chasing carriers,
negotiating spot rates, validating invoices—leaving little room for strategic initiatives. With
Pando, we are bringing the power of AI to logistics decision-making, freeing teams to focus on
what truly matters. This isn’t about automation for automation’s sake; it’s about superpowering logistics to be true revenue partners to the business,” said Nitin Jayakrishnan, CEO of
Pando.

As AI continues to reshape global supply chains, AI is set to become an indispensable tool for
logistics teams worldwide, accelerating the industry’s shift toward autonomous operations.
Pando will be showcasing Pi at Manifest 2025 in Las Vegas (Booth #1408, February 10-12),
where attendees can experience firsthand how AI Teams can drive efficiency, accuracy, and
autonomy in logistics management.
