Most freight tech stacks are a tangled mess of tools that don’t talk to each other. Ezequiel Peralta, VP of Technology at SPI Logistics, is working to fix that.

This episode strips away the hype and digs into what it really takes to build functional, secure, and scalable freight systems. Peralta shares how SPI is moving beyond the TMS-first mindset by introducing a flexible integration layer, leveraging AI to reduce email chaos, and automating back-office tasks without sidelining the people who matter most.

Freight leaders looking to create tech that works for humans, not the other way around, will get a lot out of this one.

Key Takeaways:

  • Freight tech success depends on modeling your business process before adopting any tool.
  • SPI Logistics is moving beyond the TMS as the tech stack centerpiece with a dedicated integration layer.
  • AI tools are only valuable when paired with structured data and business-aligned goals.
  • Automation is transforming back-office operations, reducing manual tasks for better auditing and analysis.
  • Everyone—not just IT—must be involved in managing freight fraud and data security.
