Measuring Ourselves Against Outcomes: Nuvo AI's First Month in Production

Last month, we launched Nuvo AI. This month, we're showing you exactly how it's running freight. Dive into our April 2026 update for a snapshot of the agents live in production today, the real-world results they are driving across thousands of shipments, and what's coming next on NuvoOS.

Introducing Nuvo AI: The First AI-Native Freight Execution Engine for North America

Nuvo AI is the first AI-native freight execution engine for North American shippers—12+ AI agents running planning, pricing, capacity sourcing, scheduling, tracking, and close inside one platform. Start with as few as 10 loads.

Border Assistant is Nuvocargo’s AI-powered tool that eliminates the black box at the border. By simply CC’ing your dedicated email, it captures and organizes customs filings, extracts key data, and updates a live dashboard with shipment statuses, delays, and broker performance.
