Uber Freight unveils an evolution to its end-to-end enterprise logistics platform designed to meet the complex and evolving needs of the industry. These enhancements, which span a strategic integration with Uber Direct, modular TMS functionality, advanced Insights AI features, and flexible procurement software, deliver customers greater transparency, control, and intelligence across the entire supply chain.
“Over the past year, we’ve worked closely with our shipper partners to understand their evolving challenges and anticipate their future needs,” says Lior Ron, founder and CEO of Uber Freight. “The progress we’ve made, and the innovations we’re unveiling today, are guided by these valuable customer insights. By collaborating with our customers, we’ve not only advanced our technology but also empowered them to achieve greater efficiency, resilience, and control across their supply chains. Together, we’re not just navigating the complexities of modern logistics—we’re redefining what’s possible.”
Key Takeaways:
- Uber Freight announced today an integration with Uber Direct, Uber's on-demand delivery-as-a-service platform. The partnership brings together one of North America’s largest logistics networks with one of the largest same-day delivery courier networks. Central to the integration is Uber Freight’s Parcel Transportation Management System (PTMS), which is now integrated with the Uber Direct platform to power new and faster delivery options including same day and scheduled deliveries.
- Uber Freight unveiled significant enhancements to its next-generation Transportation Management System (TMS), ensuring it is as dynamic and adaptable as the supply chains it supports. These updates introduce a more modular, extensible, and flexible experience that enhances visibility, streamlines operations, and integrates seamlessly with platforms like Uber Freight Exchange.
- Uber Freight is infusing new advanced features into Insights AI, the company’s generative AI-powered insights tool designed to revolutionize how shippers manage their networks, including enhanced chat functionality for more complex queries and a new KPI dashboard that delivers real-time, actionable insights.
- Uber Freight is expanding access to Uber Freight Exchange: Contract, making the procurement platform generally available to all shippers, as well as launching early access to Uber Freight Exchange: Spot exclusively for Uber Freight Managed Transportation customers, with full availability expected in 2025. Additionally, shippers can manage freight awarded through Exchange directly within the Uber Freight TMS, providing a single, transparent hub for all load procurement and management activities.
