Freightos reported solid second-quarter 2026 results, marking progress in the digital freight landscape. Transactions on its platform surged 15% to 458,000, while gross booking value climbed 33% to $422 million. Platform revenue grew 19% to $2.9 million.

Freightos' platform growth suggests digital freight procurement is deepening, as AI can leverage digitally accessible freight prices to conduct more price discovery than human buyers.
