What TECH LOGISTICS does

Tech Logistics, operating under the legal entity Tech Transport, Inc., is a privately-held freight brokerage and third-party logistics provider founded in 1983 and headquartered in Milford, New Hampshire. The company serves mid-market and enterprise businesses with significant freight spend, primarily across the United States with select international capabilities, and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees and no external institutional funding. Its service portfolio centers on a proprietary, AI-enabled Transportation Management System (TMS) provided complimentary to customers, layered with carrier contract negotiations, freight bill auditing, international freight savings, automated claims processing, custom ERP integration, and monthly savings reporting. The offering is delivered through a sales-led, enterprise field-sales motion anchored by a structured 14-week implementation process that emphasizes an average 24% reduction in client freight spend.

The company monetizes via managed services fees, freight brokerage transaction fees (operating as an ICC-licensed broker), professional services for carrier negotiations, and contingency-based recovery revenue from freight bill auditing (typically 3-5% of audited spend). Reported outcomes include 10-20% savings from carrier contract negotiations, 15-25% on international shipping, and a documented case study in equipment manufacturing delivering 25% transportation cost reduction and a 30% decrease in damages through LTL-to-full-truckload consolidation. Its technology stack combines AI-driven process automation, optimization, and predictive analytics, though evidence of proprietary AI models, patents, or formal data flywheels is not disclosed.

Strategically, Tech Logistics has pursued incremental product and capability expansion rather than acquisitive or capital-intensive growth, introducing international freight savings, custom ERP integration, dynamic routing, and AI-augmented claims and invoice processing over time while extending its brand presence across Tech Logistics, Tech Transport, and Freight Anywhere DBAs.
