At its annual summit in Barcelona, Xeneta introduced a new generation of tools that promise to change how global freight is managed. By blending data, automation and AI, the company aims to simplify procurement and bring fairness back into freight contracting.
Xeneta has announced a major leap in freight management with the launch of its new AI-powered and data-driven solutions at the Xeneta Summit in Barcelona. The company presented a set of tools that will reshape how procurement teams manage rates, analyze data, and make shipping decisions.
“For decades, global procurement has been defined by fragmented data, fragile contracts and manual processes, but we can change that,” said Fabio Brocca, Chief Product Officer at Xeneta. “With Xeneta, we have one integrated platform where data, insights and AI come together to drive confident, strategic decision-making.”
The new products include AI Agents, Integrated Rate Management, and an Indexing Solution. Together, they form an end-to-end ecosystem that connects pricing, performance, and contract management into one platform.
The Xeneta AI Agents work like virtual analysts for procurement teams. They scan freight data to uncover saving opportunities, evaluate suppliers, and plan capacity. “Our AI Agents act as a team of analysts working 24/7,” Brocca said. “They gather data, summarize insights and even draft the next steps, so procurement professionals can focus on making decisions, not analyzing spreadsheets.”
The Integrated Rate Management (IRM) system is designed to end the chaos of scattered rate sheets and spreadsheets. It allows teams to upload, organize, and compare contracts within Xeneta’s platform, offering what the company calls a single source of truth for freight rates.
Meanwhile, the Indexing Solution introduces a new way of handling long-term contracts. Using index-linked models, it lets shippers and carriers adjust rates based on live market data. “Indexing brings fairness and trust back into freight procurement,” Brocca said. “You can simulate, negotiate and now execute index-linked contracts in-platform, cutting tender cycles from months to days.”
The launch builds on Xeneta’s acquisition of eeSea earlier this year, allowing the integration of service performance metrics with its freight intelligence.
Brocca summed up the company’s vision simply: “Procurement must evolve from firefighting to foresight. The future of freight intelligence isn’t coming someday, it’s here.”
