GoodShip Launches AI Transportation Analyst ‘Laney’
New Tool Lets Freight Teams Analyze Network Data in Real Time Inside GoodShip Platform
Transportation teams using GoodShip can now query their freight networks in real time with the launch of Laney, a new AI analyst designed to replace manual analysis and static dashboards.
GoodShip announced the launch of Laney on Jan. 13 as what it describes as the transportation industry’s first AI transportation analyst. The tool is embedded directly in the GoodShip platform and allows users to ask ad hoc analytical questions that may not already exist in predefined dashboards or reports.
Laney is designed to work alongside GoodShip’s existing views, workflows and tools, enabling transportation teams to explore data and performance trends without building custom reports. The company said the AI analyst is intended to help teams make decisions more quickly across their freight networks.
“Laney brings the full power of GoodShip to every user instantly and intuitively,” said Ryan Soskin, co-founder and CEO of GoodShip. “She takes on the heavy analytical work so teams can focus on strategy, relationships and the decisions that move their businesses forward.”
According to the company, Laney can model procurement award scenarios, identify optimization opportunities, analyze carrier performance and assess how factors like lead time, day of week and seasonality affect cost and service. The tool can also generate custom reports with tables and charts on demand.
GoodShip said that unlike general-purpose AI chat tools, Laney connects directly to a customer’s transportation network data within GoodShip. That includes data across loads, tenders, carriers, contracts, real-time location information, procurement events and spend benchmarks. GoodShip said insights generated by Laney are transparent and sourced, allowing users to understand how results are produced.
“Laney has quickly become an extension of our transportation team,” said Taylor Casey, transportation manager at Rise Baking Co. Casey said the tool provides a faster way to explore service metrics and performance trends, including on-time, in-full performance, service failures and carrier trends without searching through reports or spreadsheets.
GoodShip said the launch of Laney aligns with its mission to support self-orchestrating transportation networks. The company provides a freight orchestration and procurement platform for enterprise shippers managing truckload, less-than-truckload and spot market freight.
