Event Details
Join the AfA Technology Committee for a practical, forwarder-focused discussion on Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and how emerging AI tools are being used to extend and customize these platforms in real-world operations.
What to expect:
• Real-world use of TMS and WMS in forwarding operations
• How forwarders are adapting standard systems to fit their workflows
• Practical applications of AI as a customization and enhancement layer
• Open discussion on challenges, limitations, and opportunities
• Direct insights from industry practitioners and technology leaders
We will explore how forwarders are working with out-of-the-box systems, and increasingly layering AI-driven tools and configurations on top to better fit their operational needs. From global, multi-office organizations to warehouse-driven workflows, the conversation will focus on how technology is actually being adapted inside day-to-day logistics environments.
The discussion will be hosted by Geoff Milsom and Amanda Barlow, who will guide a conversational format grounded in real operational experience rather than theoretical frameworks.
We will hear from:
• Brandon Fried
• Charles Marrale
• Sal DiDonato
• Brennan O’Dowd
This is a grounded conversation about the systems that run the industry and how forwarders are actively shaping them rather than simply adopting them as is.
