  "summary": "Descartes has launched a new AI-powered Free Trade Intelligence (FTI) solution aimed at reducing trade costs for businesses. The solution addresses the complexity and resource-intensive nature of qualifying for free trade agreements, which currently often involve manual processes and spreadsheets, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. Descartes' new system uses AI-driven analysis and decision support to help organizations understand the impact of sourcing decisions, supplier changes, and evolving trade agreements on their qualification outcomes, according to Brian Hodgson, General Manager of Global Trade Intelligence at Descartes.",
