That focus worked. Our Shipper business is a category leader growing 20% year-over-year. That strength is what makes the next chapter possible.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Shippers and LSPs are fundamentally different businesses. Shippers buy&nbsp;logistics&nbsp;software to support their core operations. Logistics Service Providers — freight forwarders, brokers, and 3PLs — sell&nbsp;logistics&nbsp;as their product. Their software is their competitive edge. They buy fast,&nbsp;build on&nbsp;APIs and agents, and reward teams that ship in weeks, not quarters.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">This is why we created p44LSP.ai: a dedicated, AI-native division built to serve the LSP market with the focus, speed, and resources it deserves.&nbsp;It's&nbsp;the scope and ownership of an AI startup, backed by the infrastructure of a $124M business — 259K carriers, billions of shipment outcomes, agents in production, and direct access to project44's data graph, carrier network, and enterprise relationships.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">This is a small, hand-picked team&nbsp;operating&nbsp;across Chicago, San Francisco,&nbsp;Bangalore, and the EU. Flat org. Forward-deployed engineering. AI coding tools across the workflow. Agents as the product surface. Customers who pilot in weeks and tell you what they think directly.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">The LSP market is moving fast. AI agent startups are growing 300%+ year-over-year, and seven of eight&nbsp;sell&nbsp;to LSPs.

We don't expect everyone to be a data scientist. We do expect everyone to be an intelligent user of AI: able to identify where it adds value, direct it effectively, evaluate outputs critically, and govern it responsibly.
