The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) addressed AI in logistics in its 2026 State of Logistics Report released Tuesday. The annual analysis of U.S. freight, logistics and supply chain trends declared that AI is no longer hype nor skepticism but has instead crossed from promise into proof as it is now producing measurable value.
“AI has proven more clearly that it can deliver value in specific workflows with accessible data and measurable economics,” the report stated.
The same day the report was released, AI-powered fleet safety and management company Netradyne rolled out a new class of AI agents that automate workflows. Netradyne Intelligence – the company’s next-gen platform that powers the new AI agents for safety and operations – shifts the insights it gathers from more than 30 billion miles and 150 billion minutes of real-world driving data from reactive to proactive.
Systems that previously reported what happened now drive what happens next and even initiate and execute follow-through automatically.
"Fleets have invested in building visibility into their operations, but the real challenge now is execution, turning insight into consistent, timely action at scale." said Netradyne Founder and CEO Avneesh Agrawal. “Netradyne Intelligence is built to solve that problem by embedding AI directly into workflows so fleets can scale efficiently and get deeper, actionable insights without growing their teams."
The platform’s new AI agents aim to reduce the workload of safety teams while simultaneously scaling their impact. The agents manage coaching, incident records, driver recognition and reporting automatically on behalf of managers.

Available now, are the coaching and incident response agents.
The coaching agent identifies which drivers need attention based on manager-defined goals and prepares each session with driver history, top alerts and a recommended improvement plan. In addition to the new agent, Netradyne Intelligence will expand the range of risky and inefficient behaviors it identifies. The incident response agent automatically compiles full collision records, including video, FNOL (first notice of loss) details for reports to insurance companies, crash reconstruction and driver history. It then delivers that record to right stakeholders without manual packaging.

Coming in Q3 this year are the rewards agent and reporting agent, which deliver driver acknowledgment and generate KPIs, dashboards and leadership narratives, respectively.
"These agents reason about context, execute multi-step workflows, and follow through on behalf of managers based on the policies they set," said Netradyne Chief Product Officer Pramod Akkarachittor. "That is what makes Netradyne Intelligence a meaningful step forward — a platform that initiates, acts, and drives outcomes.”
