XPO Connect™ is one of our most forward-looking innovations – an automated marketplace, unique to the industry, that provides efficient, virtual access to XPO's range of transportation services. The technology uses machine learning to become continually smarter at helping shippers and carriers manage capacity.

We developed XPO Connect™ to integrate our Freight Optimizer carrier-matching engine and Drive XPO driver app as one holistic digital platform. Data is analysed from multiple sources in real time to source the optimal carrier for each load, weighted by cost and performance. Predictive algorithms take real-time market conditions into account. For larger customers, we can tailor routing, carrier assignment and execution according to specific business rules.
