Freight Technologies (NASDAQ:FRGT) stock is on the rise Thursday after the logistics company announced an agreement with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).
That agreement will see Amazon Mexico making use of the company’s Fr8App platform for its logistics needs. Fr8App is an artificial intelligence (AI) machine-learning platform that offers a real-time portal for B2B cross-border and domestic shipping.
Freight Technologies’ main focus in helping Amazon Mexico is handling the shipping of products between Amazon distribution centers. Investors will note that this marks the second year that Amazon has signed on with the company to assist during the busy holiday season.
Javier Selgas, CEO of Freight Technologies, said the following about the news:
“Amazon’s decision to choose Fr8App during their high-demand season validates our capabilities and positions us as the go-to logistics solution for B2B cross-border and domestic shipping within the USMCA region. We’re excited to work for a prominent market leader like Amazon, and we’re confident in our ability to meet their stringent standards throughout the year as they continue to expand.”
