What Radiant Logistics does

Radiant Logistics, Inc. (NYSE American: RLGT) is a publicly traded, non-asset-based third-party logistics provider founded in 2006 by CEO Bohn Crain and headquartered in the greater Seattle area (Renton/Bellevue, Washington). The company operates an asset-light network model that combines company-owned branches with independent agent stations and carrier relationships, delivering domestic and international freight forwarding (air, ocean, ground, rail), truck and rail brokerage, customs brokerage, warehousing and distribution, and value-added supply chain services. Its customer base spans manufacturers, distributors, and retailers across North America, with named enterprise users including Honeywell, PNY Technologies, Northern Tool, Tricam, Hom Furniture, Madesmart, and U.S. government agencies under a five-year USAID contract. The network spans more than 100 locations across the United States, Canada, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, and other global markets, with multi-brand distribution through operating brands such as Radiant Global Logistics, Airgroup, Radiant Canada, Adcom Worldwide, Radiant Road & Rail, Distribution By Air, Radiant World Trade Services, and SBA Global Logistic Services.

Radiant's revenue model is primarily transactional (per-shipment fees across freight forwarding and brokerage) supplemented by managed services for warehousing, order fulfillment, and contract-based revenue from government engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with rates varying by freight mode, weight, service level, and destination. The company makes money through three core streams — freight forwarding services, truck and rail brokerage, and customs brokerage — with smaller value-added logistics and government contract revenue layers. Recent quarterly revenue has run at approximately $214M to $232M, implying an annualized run rate near $900M.

The technology stack centers on the proprietary Navegate Global Trade Management (GTM) platform (acquired in 2021 for $35M), with a lighter Navegate Lite variant for basic tracking. Navegate provides centralized freight visibility, compliance management, and digital freight workflow across the network. In Q2 FY2026, the company launched 'Ray,' its first AI-powered autonomous agent, focused on automating international quote administration. Underlying go-to-market is enterprise field sales plus digital quote/booking platforms, supplemented by content marketing (Freight Market Updates newsletter) and a network of agent stations that often convert into company-owned operations upon acquisition. The company has executed five acquisitions over the trailing twelve months (Focus Logistics, TCB Transportation, Transcon Shipping, USA Logistics, and an 80% stake in Weport Mexico) and operates with a $200M revolving credit facility, leaving the balance sheet essentially debt-free relative to that facility.
