Pallet

What Pallet does

Pallet (legal entity Cashew Systems, Inc.) is an AI-native logistics software company that builds CoPallet, an enterprise AI workforce platform designed to automate end-to-end back-office logistics workflows. The platform is composed of six tightly integrated modules: Agents (orchestration layer), Forge (agent factory enabling 6-week deployments), Memory (Enterprise Memory Layer encoding SOPs and tribal knowledge into plain-English memories), Intelligence (custom fine-tuned logistics models plus frontier model ensemble from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic), Fabric (connectors to TMS, WMS, ERP, EDI, email, phone, and on-prem AS400 systems), and Platform (governance, permissions, audit). Pallet also offers Atlas, a separate network-intelligence product for revenue discovery across lanes, accounts, and capacity.

Pallet serves freight brokerages, freight forwarders, FTL and LTL carriers, warehouses, and shippers. Named enterprise customers include Knight-Swift, Lineage Logistics, Estée Lauder, US Pack, Mallory Alexander International Logistics, Prism Logistix, STG Logistics, Eassons Transport Group, Swift Logistics, Rinchem, and Everest Transportation Systems — covering more than 100 logistics operators across North America. The company is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and operates offices in San Francisco (headquarters), New York, and Wilmington, DE (registered office).

The business model is enterprise SaaS sold through a direct field-sales motion anchored on a 30-day risk-free proof of concept and gated behind a "Book a demo" CTA. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue scales through a land-and-expand pattern in which customers grow from one deployed agent to many (Prism scaled to 20 agents). Pallet has raised approximately $50M in venture funding across a seed round (2022), an $18–21M Series A led by Bain Capital Ventures (October 2024), and a $27M Series B led by General Catalyst (May 2025), with participation from Activant Capital, BoxGroup, Bessemer, and Vicus Ventures. The company divested its legacy TMS business to Tenet in 2025 to concentrate on AI agents and has subsequently expanded into India's F&B sector.

Revenue model

1. Enterprise SaaS subscription: Pallet sells CoPallet and Atlas as enterprise SaaS to logistics operators under a risk-free 30-day proof-of-concept entry point. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are quote-based, consistent with enterprise software ARR motion. Customers scale from a single agent deployment to broader workflow automation (e.g., Prism went from one agent to 20 separate agents deployed; Mallory Alexander is extending into accounts payable/receivable), indicating a land-and-expand revenue pattern.

Core offering

Pallet sells CoPallet, an enterprise AI logistics workforce platform that runs end-to-end supply chain workflows (quoting, load entry, document processing, billing, and customer service) by combining an Enterprise Memory Layer encoding customer SOPs with a Deep Reasoning layer over multi-model ensembles. The platform plugs into existing TMS, WMS, and ERP systems, including on-prem AS400, via pre-built Fabric connectors and ships with Parallel Agents, Pallet Forge, and a separate Atlas network-intelligence product that surfaces revenue opportunities across the logistics network.

Product overview

Pallet offers a single unified AI logistics workforce platform, CoPallet, built on six tightly integrated modules: Agents (the orchestration layer running workflows end-to-end across any system, email, voice, and browser), Forge (an agent factory for 6-week enterprise deployments), Memory (the Enterprise Memory Layer encoding SOPs and tribal knowledge into thousands of plain-English memories), Intelligence (frontier and custom fine-tuned logistics models), Fabric (connectors to TMS, WMS, ERP, EDI, email, and on-prem AS400 systems), and Platform (permissions, 99.9% uptime, and audit logging). Alongside this core platform, Pallet offers Atlas, a separate network-intelligence product that maps every connection across the network to surface revenue opportunities through conversational queries, and it runs standalone or alongside Pallet agents. The platform serves freight brokerages, freight forwarders, FTL and LTL carriers, warehouses, and shippers.

• TenetstrategicStrategic or Co-development Partner · 11 February 2026Tenet acquired Pallet's Transportation Management System business in fall 2025 and launched a unified operating system for cartage, courier, and expedited carriers at the AirCargo Conference and CDLA conference in early 2026. The acquisition enabled Pallet to focus on its AI agent (CoPallet) product while Tenet runs the TMS for first/middle/last-mile carriers.
• McLeodcoreTechnology or IntegrationMcLeod TMS is integrated into Pallet's Fabric connector layer; Pallet explicitly highlights McLeod in the "No rip, no replace" stack for freight brokerages and FTL carriers.
• DATcoreTechnology or IntegrationDAT load board is integrated with Pallet for freight brokerages and forwarders, alongside McLeod, in Pallet's plug-in architecture.
• CargoWiseflagshipTechnology or IntegrationCargoWise is the primary TMS for freight forwarders and is integrated into Pallet's booking-intake workflow; Mallory Alexander specifically cited Pallet's deep CargoWise integration as a key reason for choosing the platform.
• MagayacoreTechnology or IntegrationMagaya TMS is one of Pallet's pre-built connectors for freight forwarders, alongside CargoWise and Descartes.
• DescartescoreTechnology or IntegrationDescartes is integrated as a TMS/visibility partner for Pallet's freight forwarder product.

Direct peers

• HappyRobot: HappyRobot builds AI agents (voice, chat, email) targeting freight brokerages, 3PLs, and forwarders for tasks like load booking, carrier sales, and customer service. Most direct competitor to Pallet's CoPallet, with a similar enterprise agent-deployment model for the same logistics buyer.
• FourKites: FourKites provides AI-driven supply-chain visibility and predictive ETA for shippers, carriers, and 3PLs. Comparable in serving the same logistics buyer with AI applied to operational data; Atlas competes with FourKites' Dynamic ETA and visibility workflows.
• project44: project44 is a global supply-chain visibility platform integrated with most major TMS, telematics, and ELD systems. Serves many of the same FTL and shipper customers as Pallet; competes for visibility- and exception-management budget rather than back-office automation directly.

Broad incumbents

• Celonis: Celonis is the leading process-mining and execution-management platform, used across enterprise back-office workflows. While not logistics-specific, it competes for the same budget line item — process automation — and is increasingly embedding AI agents adjacent to Pallet's positioning.
• UiPath: UiPath is the largest pure-play RPA platform, deployed broadly across enterprise back-office including logistics operators. Competes with Pallet for workflow-automation budget but lacks Pallet's domain-tuned reasoning layer and logistics-specific memory/agent framework.
• Blue Yonder: Blue Yonder is a large supply-chain software suite spanning TMS, WMS, and forecasting, used by many of the same FTL carriers and shippers Pallet serves. Represents the established vendor risk: an incumbent adding AI-agent features on top of its installed base.
• Manhattan Associates: Manhattan Associates is a leading WMS and supply-chain commerce platform used by enterprise shippers and 3PLs. Listed as one of Pallet's integration partners today, but a logical competitor if Manhattan adds native AI agent capabilities to its warehouse stack.
• Descartes Systems Group: Descartes provides TMS, customs, and visibility solutions for freight forwarders, brokers, and carriers globally. An established freight-forwarding software vendor; listed as a Pallet integration partner today but a competitor if it ships native AI agent capabilities.
• Samsara: Samsara is the leading connected-operations platform for physical operations, used heavily by FTL carriers (and is a Pallet integration partner via telematics). Represents a logistics-tech incumbent with the data, customer footprint, and capital to expand into AI-driven back-office automation.

Emerging players

• Turvo: Turvo provides a unified TMS platform for 3PLs, brokers, and carriers, with collaboration and workflow tools. Comparable customer base to Pallet's brokerage and 3PL segments and a likely beneficiary of Pallet's decision to divest its own TMS to Tenet.
