Tariff Turbulence and the Conversations I'm Having with Importers Right Now
Importers are scrambling as tariff rules shift fast. From the end of de minimis to FTZ strategy and routing chaos, here's what logistics teams are doing to stay ahead.

AI is already reshaping logistics, from automating document processing to optimizing shipment tracking. But how much of this is real, and how much is just hype? In this fireside chat, Terminal49’s CEO, Akshay Dodeja, and Head of Data, Matt Turner, break down what AI, LLMs (Large Language Models), and automation actually mean for the supply chain industry today—and where things are headed next. Watch as they discuss how AI can eliminate manual workflows, streamline communication, and even automate entire shipping operations.
AI is automating workflows—cutting time spent on emails, scheduling, and tracking while seamlessly extracting data from invoices and shipping docs.
AI doesn’t just pull carrier data—it fills gaps, validates information, detects missing milestones, predicts delays, and optimizes container pickups.
AI now manages customer communication, scheduling, and exceptions—handling entire shipments by tracking, booking, and updating stakeholders automatically.
AI adoption in logistics is accelerating—early adopters are already saving time and money, and those who embrace it now will lead the industry tomorrow.
