AI for Logistics Operations: Spatial Intelligence & Clean Data
Brian Smith & Oliver Clingain
Tech Ascent - Episode 84
In this episode of Tech Ascent, host Oliver Clingain sits down with Brian Smith, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at ESP Logistics Technology. Brian shares how ESP is tackling one of the most overlooked problems in logistics: optimizing supply chain operations for the people actually doing the work—not just the cargo owners.
They unpack how ESP applies spatial awareness, location analytics, and AI-driven optimization across every node of the supply chain from yards and terminals to drayage movements while maintaining a future-proof, microservices-based platform. Brian also explains why clean, standardized data is the real foundation for AI in logistics, and how ESP helps operators uncover missed revenue, reduce turn times, and drive efficiency during volatile market conditions.
