Xeneta launches integrated rate management, AI agents and indexing solution at industry summit

Xeneta, the leading ocean and air freight rate intelligence platform, has unveiled a new generation of in-platform products, marking the next chapter in the company’s mission to transform freight procurement through data, insights and AI.
Presented live to hundreds of industry leaders at the annual Xeneta Summit in Barcelona, the new products will redefine how freight is bought and sold by reducing manual work and helping procurement teams to make better and faster decisions.
Fabio Brocca, Xeneta Chief Product Officer, told the Summit: “For decades, global procurement has been defined by fragmented data, fragile contracts and manual processes, but we can change that. With Xeneta, we have one integrated platform where data, insights and AI come together to drive confident, strategic decision-making.
“Procurement professionals are trying to move away from constant firefighting in the face of market shocks and towards a proactive approach. This transformation is made possible through new service level data, smart insights using genAI and new tools to manage rates directly in Xeneta.”
Product launch – Xeneta generative AI Agents
Xeneta AI Agents are specialized and autonomous AI-powered copilots for procurement teams. The AI Agents analyze freight data continuously to surface opportunities, suggest recommendations and even generate ready-to-send carrier communications.
The first three agents are now available for early access:
- Spend Optimization Agent – identifies saving opportunities across high spend corridors.
- Supplier Optimization Agent – compares suppliers based on cost, reliability, and capacity.
- Capacity Planning Agent – helps allocate volume dynamically based on real-time trade capacity.
Brocca said: “Our AI Agents act as a team of analysts working 24/7. They gather data, summarize insights and even draft the next steps, so procurement professionals can focus on making decisions, not analyzing spreadsheets.”
Product launch – Integrated Rate Management
Procurement teams have long battled inconsistent rate sheets, scattered Excel files and outdated templates. Xeneta Integrated Rate Management (IRM) replaces this fragmentation with a unified rate repository inside the Xeneta platform.
Users can now upload, store and manage all freight contracts in one place, with automatic mapping to the Xeneta data model, built-in audit trails and direct benchmarking against live market data.
Brocca said: “IRM turns rate management from a manual task into an intelligent process. For the first time, all your rate data, benchmarks and AI-driven recommendations live in one integrated system – a single source of truth for your freight rates.”
Product launch – Indexing Solution
Market volatility continues to challenge long-term contracts. Xeneta’s Indexing Solution empower shippers and carriers to move from slow RFQs to dynamic, Index-Linked Contracts (ILCs) that evolve with the market.
Building on the success of the Index Simulator released earlier this year, Xeneta now introduces the Index Live Contract Manager, which automates formula calculations, performance tracking and audit logs, executing index-linked contracts directly inside the Xeneta platform.
Brocca said: “Indexing brings fairness and trust back into freight procurement. You can simulate, negotiate and now execute index-linked contracts in-platform, cutting tender cycles from months to days and ensuring both sides pay or earn fair market rates.”
A Unified Vision for the Industry
The launches are part of Xeneta’s broader roadmap to create an integrated decision engine for freight procurement; This combines the company’s market data with service performance metrics from eeSea (acquired by Xeneta in 2025) and intelligent automation powered by AI.
Brocca said: “Procurement must evolve from firefighting to foresight. The future of freight intelligence isn’t coming someday, it’s here. It starts with all of us, building together an industry that’s faster, smarter and based on data.”
