Anthony Sutardja, co-founder and CEO of Parade, told FreightWaves the new capital will go toward AI and RFP tools.

Brokerages can go digital without losing the human element that makes them unique.

Through digital quoting, Parade makes it easy to see if reps are taking advantage of every quote and improving margins.

Parade’s leading software learns from every carrier interaction received to better match brokers with the right carriers.

“There’s no other solution out there that has done this,” said Parade CEO and co-founder Anthony Sutardja. “We have really led the way in defining digital bidding and digital booking across our partner capacity networks.”
