G2Mint: Miles Ahead of the Competition
Industry Problems & Needs
Problems
The current market lacks standalone Rate Engine services capable of calculating comprehensive transportation agreements, including freight, commissions, allowances, and compliance violations, while providing API Freight Rating for brokers, shippers, and carriers. There is a notable absence of mode-agnostic solutions, with few, if any, systems effectively rating all modes: parcel, LTL, TL, Final mile, Intermodal, Ocean, HWA. The few existing parcel and LTL API Rating options are niche solutions lacking the ability to calculate other modes or agreements. Access to a Rate Engine is typically restricted to bundled Transportation Management Systems (TMS), which present their own challenges.
Today's Transportation Management Systems (TMS) are often rendered ineffective due to their legacy, monolithic technology stacks. These systems struggle to automate and deliver core TMS components in a modular, interconnected manner. These components—Transportation, Rating, Integrations/Plugins, and Partnerships (TRIP)—require seamless connectivity to facilitate rating, transportation management, and integration with emerging technologies such as AI. Solutions built on outdated technology often incur high ownership costs, complex implementation, configuration, and usage. This results in expensive customization or the adoption of siloed, disconnected systems. A significant industry challenge lies in securing trusted, available capacity at competitive prices while mitigating risks such as double brokerage and load hijacking. Despite its critical importance, the transportation industry continues to rely on outdated TMS platforms amidst rapid technological advancements.
Needs
- Standalone Rate Engine
Stakeholders require an integrated rate engine that functions as a standalone service, calculating all transportation agreements and providing API rating for brokers, shippers, and carriers. Rating, collaboration, and visibility are essential for connecting these stakeholders. A modular solution with a common rate engine is needed to connect, automate, and democratize rating. - Mode-Agnostic Rate Engine
To ensure optimal freight movement and carrier selection, a mode-agnostic application is essential. With the correct architecture, tech stack, and AI integration, all shipments and loads (multi-stop/modal) can be automatically built, rated, booked, tracked, and settled. - Modular Architecture
To scale and compete, the TRIP framework must be designed to allow brokers, shippers, and carriers to utilize necessary segments and connect via a neutral platform for capacity sourcing and optimization. A modular tech stack is required to facilitate ease of onboarding, connection, and application configuration. - Modern Tech Stack
TMS solutions must scale and align with the latest technologies. Legacy tech stacks are often expensive to operate and fail to meet current technology demands. These costs are passed on to customers, limiting their ability to compete and scale due to high ownership costs. - Self-Guided Onboarding
Onboarding presents a significant challenge for TMS providers. The monolithic nature of legacy TMS often necessitates a disruptive "rip and replace" implementation, which is lengthy, complex, and costly. Data migration, customizations, out-of-scope add-ons, missed timelines, and operational disruptions place considerable strain on client relationships. Self-onboarding capabilities, streamlined data migration, and easy configuration/setup are imperative. - AI Agents
The transportation industry is heavily reliant on manual, labor-intensive processes. The adoption of AI Agents will automate many of these repeatable processes. This will allow brokers and shippers to redeploy many of their resources to implement value added services and programs that will reduce their shippers cost of goods and create new revenue generating programs for brokers. Increasing transportation costs impact shipper costs of goods and reduce broker profits. With the volatility of carrier freight costs, the focus must shift to reducing labor through operational efficiency and revenue-generating programs. The need to leverage AI for automation, insights, and knowledge-driven decision-making is critical for survival. TMS solutions without AI integration or the ability to integrate AI Agents will struggle to remain competitive - Revenue Generating Programs
While automating operations with AI can reduce costs, further measures may be needed for sustained success. Brokers and shippers must identify new engagement models to further reduce shipper costs of goods and create additional revenue opportunities for both parties. The need for transparency, high operating costs, and management of carrier volatility is driving brokers and shippers to expand their offerings with value-added services and revenue-generating programs. - Finding Capacity
TMS must provide brokers and shippers with efficient access to capacity sourcing, qualification, and securing capabilities within the platform. Carrier fraud is at an all-time high. Without appropriate tools, protecting loads from hijacking is challenging. A single stolen load can significantly impact or even bankrupt a brokerage.
- Accessing Modern Capabilities
To maintain competitiveness, traditional TMS systems must integrate emerging technologies, implement advanced rating functionalities, and establish capacity connections within their platforms.

This feature facilitates the management of a customer's operations, sourcing, and settlement, including invoicing based on transaction, resource, fixed rate, time, or volume. Brokers are empowered to expand beyond standard buy-sell transactions by offering 3PL services. Shippers are equipped with robust tools to effectively manage suppliers and prevent unexpected freight costs.

Miles MintAI & MintStack
MintAI
Our AI architecture is designed around a core principle: using specialized agents for specific tasks, all managed by our intelligent orchestrator, Miles. When you make a request, Miles identifies the problem and dispatches it to the correct specialist agent. Each agent is built with the most effective AI architecture for its role. This specialized, modular approach ensures you get more accurate and powerful results because the AI is tailored to the specific challenge, providing a superior experience through one seamless interface.
Different Challenges, Different AI
- For Tasks
Requiring factual recall and generation (like document processing or workflow building), we use agents with a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework.
- For Data Analysis and Reporting
We use a dedicated Natural Language Query (NLQ) engine.
- For Shipment & Mode Optimization
We use predictive Machine Learning (ML) models.
MintAI Agents
- Knowledge & Insights
Ask Miles, and he will locate the required information. Miles offers insights into market trends, user behavior, and freight and shipping trends. These tools enable you to understand customer needs and optimize their transportation processes and performance.
- Agreement Processor
Save time and reduce errors by uploading existing Freight Pricing Agreements (such as PDFs or spreadsheets). The AI agent analyzes the documents, automatically extracts the pricing information, and populates the system with the correct format for the Rate Engine.
- Workflow Builder-Natural Language
Instead of navigating complex setup screens, describe the process you wish to automate using plain language (e.g., "When a new order is received, notify the warehouse manager and update inventory status"). The AI agent will then construct the automated workflow within the system. Technical expertise or programming skills are not required to create sophisticated automations.
- BI & Reporting-Natural Language
This agent allows for intuitive data interaction through simple questions or requests. You can ask queries such as, "Show me sales by region for the last quarter" or "Create a bar chart of on-time deliveries per carrier." The AI, powered by AWS QuickSight Q, generates the report, dashboard, or provides the necessary information. No need for extensive training on complex reporting software.
- Freight Optimization
If you're uncertain about the optimal shipping mode, Miles AI will identify the most efficient mode, rate and automatically book and settle your shipments. This allows you to focus on other value added priorities within your operations.
