We are past the tipping point in freight digitization. Industry analysts and insiders agree that we’ve entered a new era, with automation transforming broker productivity at an unprecedented scale. This shift was the clear theme this past quarter as I had the opportunity to speak and attend conferences like S&P Global's JOC Inland, McLeod Software's UC, Trimble Transportation's Insight Conference, Descartes Aljex™'s Innovation Forum, Armstrong & Associates, Inc.'s Value Creation Summit, TIA's Technovations, and DAT Freight & Analytics's NEXT conference. Across each event, I heard incredible stories and expectations from brokers pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Thought Scott Friesen from Echo put it best at DATCON: "We should be driving to a point where reps can move two or three times as many loads—not just 20% more, but 200% to 300% more." Proud that Parade is playing a key role in this shift for many in this industry by coupling automation with deep capacity management capabilities to scale their people and carrier networks, unlike before. Our customers are setting new industry standards, moving from 8-10 loads per day to 15, 25, and even 50 loads per day per person. This isn’t just incremental growth— it is redefining what’s possible in freight. Special thanks to Eric Johnson for capturing this transformative moment in his latest JOC article and for the ongoing conversations across these conferences. Automation is no longer just a tool—it’s the foundation for empowering brokers to maximize their people, networks, and time. Read more on this transformation here:
