Descartes Systems Group (DSGX) released findings from its 10th Annual Global Transportation Management Benchmark Survey, showing that planned transportation management (TM) technology investment among surveyed North American organizations rose from 53% in 2017 to 78% in 2026, while 85% now view transportation as a competitive weapon or customer service differentiator, up from 65% in 2017.
Despite this, AI use at scale remains limited, with only 19% of shippers and 15% of logistics service providers (LSPs) fully deploying it. Data quality and integration complexity are the top barriers to scaling AI, cited by up to 45% of respondents. Growth expectations are strong, with 79% of shippers and 84% of LSPs anticipating at least 5% annual growth over the next two years, even as freight cost management is the largest current challenge and rising industry costs are the leading external concern.
The study also finds that AI is already reducing administrative and labor costs for shippers and improving service and freight cost control for LSPs. Full truckload is the mode most in need of better real-time visibility, and increasing AI adoption (58%) and reducing freight costs (57%) form a dual strategic mandate. The survey covered 600 senior transportation decision-makers globally, split evenly between shippers and LSPs.
