An agentic workflow is a coordinated sequence in which one or more AI agents interpret events, use connected systems, make bounded decisions, take actions, and involve people at defined control points.
Agentic workflows in freight operations
A freight workflow may begin when a load arrives, move through qualification and coverage, continue into tracking and exception handling, and end with delivery documents. Different agents can own each stage while sharing load context and escalation rules.
Implementation requires more than selecting a model. The team must map the SOP, connect DAT and the TMS, define authority limits, configure approvals, test live cases, and tune the workflow against actual operating outcomes.
