Company unveils the scale of its proprietary dataset and new metrics showing how its Lean AI delivers real customer-service impact
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minnesota (March 11, 2026) – C.H. Robinson, the leader in Lean AI supply chains, has expanded its artificial intelligence capabilities with an advantage that can’t be replicated: the largest and richest set of real-world logistics data in the industry. With over 100 trillion proprietary data points generated across decades of global operations – and growing with every shipment executed – the company has built an AI engine that is reasoning, deciding and acting in complex supply chains.
For the first time, C.H. Robinson is disclosing the scale of the proprietary data behind its Lean AI operating system, which is built in house and embeds intelligence directly into how logistics gets done for its 75,000 customers. Hundreds of connected AI agents are fed by the unrivaled scale, scope and depth of C.H. Robinson’s data on 37 million shipments a year and enriched by operational context. While others in the industry try to develop AI, C.H. Robinson’s competitive moat compounds with every shipment and is only now becoming visible to the market.
“Some people think of large language models as democratizing AI. For the complexity of logistics and global supply chains, that couldn’t be further from the truth,” said Chief Technology Officer Mike Neill. “Maybe anyone can build a chatbot or code faster with AI. But not anyone can build AI agents that perform real shipping tasks and operate supply chains—at scale, profitably. (....)
