Leadership Comments

"Enterprise freight suffers from many AI pilots that never make it into daily operations. We built Overroute inside real operations, with real data and real operators,” said Alex Reed, CEO of Overroute. “We’ve validated Overroute inside one of the largest and most complex freight networks in North America.

After decades in logistics, I’ve learned that great technology only matters if it works in the operation,” said Will Urban, Venture Partner at UP.Partners and Overroute board member. What stands out about Overroute is that its AI is already working at scale inside the people, workflows and systems that actually move freight.
