Radiant Logistics deploys AI agent "Ray" and scales Navegate for international growth

Radiant rolls out AI agent “Ray” and doubles down on Navegate platform

Digital push targets international scale and operational efficiency

Radiant Logistics is scaling its Navegate digital platform and deploying its first AI Agent, “Ray,” to streamline international freight operations and boost margins, the company says. The technology-enabled freight forwarder and logistics manager is integrating AI into shipment orchestration, customs and carrier coordination to reduce manual work and speed cross-border execution. Radiant frames the initiative as central to growing its international footprint while holding down operating costs.

Management positions Ray and ongoing Navegate enhancements as tools to standardize processes across acquired businesses and organic growth channels. The company is focusing the AI agent on repetitive, time-consuming tasks — documentation, routing suggestions and exception handling — so account teams concentrate on customer service and higher‑value sales activities. Radiant expects automation to lift utilization of carrier capacity, improve on-time performance and support future margin expansion as volumes scale.

Radiant also emphasizes that the platform and AI are designed to unlock synergies from its acquisition pipeline. Navegate provides a single operating layer for newly acquired forwarding and brokerage firms, enabling faster integration, centralized data visibility and more consistent pricing and service delivery. The company says these capabilities underpin its long-term strategy to expand internationally while maintaining relatively low leverage and disciplined capital deployment.

Financial snapshot and Milton Project impact

For the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025, Radiant reports revenue of $232.1 million, down 12.2% from $264.5 million a year earlier, largely because the prior period included $64.8 million of air‑charter revenue tied to the Milton Project, which delivered about 8 million IV fluid units. Excluding Milton, revenues rise 16.2% year‑over‑year to $232.1 million from $199.7 million.

Profitability and strategic posture

Gross profit is $61.0 million, up 2.3% year‑over‑year and up 16.0% on a Milton‑adjusted basis. Adjusted gross profit is $63.5 million, essentially flat versus a year ago and up 12.8% excluding Milton. Net income attributable to Radiant is $5.3 million, while adjusted net income is $8.1 million, down 24.3% from the comparable prior period. Management reiterates confidence in low leverage, its acquisition pipeline and continued investment in Navegate and AI capabilities to drive efficiency, international scale and sustainable margin improvement.
