The Logistics platform offers several key features. It provides AI-powered demand forecasting. This helps companies predict what customers will buy more accurately. It also includes tools for smarter route planning. Trucks and ships can find the fastest paths, saving fuel and time. Real-time shipment tracking is another major component. Businesses can see where their goods are at any moment.

Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, spoke about the launch. “Supply chains are complex,” Kurian said. “Our AI brings clarity. It helps businesses move goods faster and cheaper.” The company believes Logistics will be valuable across many industries. Retailers, manufacturers, and shipping firms are key targets.

Google developed Logistics using its advanced AI research. It analyzes vast amounts of data. This includes weather patterns, port traffic, and historical sales. The AI then finds patterns humans might miss. This leads to better decisions about inventory and transportation. Companies can avoid stock shortages and reduce wasted storage space.
