Data. In Part 2 of this episode, The Role of AI in Modern Logistics, Lori Boyer, Head of Content Marketing at EasyPost continues the conversation with Jason Rowland and Nick Agnetti about how billions of shipment records are helping companies make smarter shipping decisions, optimize carrier selection, and unlock insights that weren't possible before. Key takeaways: ✅ AI is only as good as the data behind it ✅ Multi-carrier visibility creates better shipping outcomes ✅ Industry expertise is just as important as the technology itself ✅ Start small—implement one AI-driven improvement at a time One of Lori's best pieces of advice: Don't try to change everything at once. Pick one thing, apply it, and build from there.
