‘2026 will be the year of AI, predictive intelligence and sustainability’

Amit Maheshwari, Founder and CEO, Softlink Global said, “I see 2026 as the year of intelligent logistics ecosystems. AI will move beyond dashboards to decision-making—creating digital co-workers that can act autonomously. Secure data exchange between systems and stakeholders through blockchain and APIs will become mainstream. Finally, a growing focus on compliance, sustainability, and predictive intelligence will define how forwarders operate—and differentiate — globally.”
