Knight highlights the growing importance of technology and transparency in managing volatility. He explains how Ascent is investing in digital solutions such as live tracking, API integration and customizable dashboards to deliver real-time visibility, proactive exception management and more efficient workflows. By centralising processes into a single platform, Ascent reduces reliance on email chains and helps customers respond faster and more accurately to supply chain changes.
From its broad portfolio spanning truckload, LTL, forwarding, on-demand services like air charter and fastboat, brokerage and managed transportation, Ascent is seeing rising demand for project-based and non-tariff shipments and for localised services in Europe. Knight also outlines how the company is leveraging its PEAK TM Marketplace platform to extend its time-critical expertise into international air freight, offering customers more cost-effective alternatives.
