Magaya and Adelante SCM Release New Research on How Leading Logistics Service Providers Are Using Technology to Gain a Competitive Edge

MIAMI, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Magaya, the leading freight management platform for logistics service providers, and Adelante SCM, a supply chain research and advisory firm, today announced the release of The New Strategic Logistics Service Provider: What Winning Freight Forwarding and Customs Brokerage Leaders are Doing Differently.

Based on a survey of 125 freight forwarders and customs brokers, combined with executive interviews from across the industry, the report examines how logistics service providers are responding to rising uncertainty, growing customer expectations, and the increasing role of technology and artificial intelligence in daily operations.

The research found that while many organizations are investing in technology and process improvements, significant opportunities remain to strengthen decision-making, integration, and operational agility.

Key findings from the report include:

• Two-thirds of freight forwarders and customs brokers say uncertainty is higher today than it was three years ago.
• Only 13% rate their rganizations as excellent at data-driven operational decision-making.
• Just 11% describe their organizations as highly integrated across customers, carriers, partners, and regulatory systems.
• Only 2% report having adopted AI across their entire operation, compared to 17% with no plans at all to incorporate AI into their operation.
• Working with AI and automation tools ranks as the most important workforce skill for the next two to three years.

The report also highlights a broader shift occurring across the industry. As customers face increasing regulatory complexity, trade volatility, and supply chain disruption, freight forwarders and customs brokers are being asked to provide deeper insights, stronger guidance, and faster access to information.

"Moving freight efficiently will always matter. That's the price of admission," said Adrian Gonzalez, President of Adelante SCM. "What separates leaders today is their ability to provide visibility, insight, and foresight that help customers understand what's happening, anticipate what might happen next, and determine the best course of action. That's where true strategic value is being created."

The New Strategic Logistics Service Provider report is available now as a free download.
