Cortex AI: The Intelligence Inside PCS TMS
Run smarter, faster, and more profitable — with AI that’s built into the PCS TMS you already trust.
AI Built for Freight, Not Hype
Other TMS vendors bolt on AI. PCS builds it into the core — making your system the brain of your business.
Cortex is native to the PCS TMS thousands of carriers already trust, and it’s powered by 25+ years of proven freight operations expertise. It’s not generic AI — it’s designed for the real-world pressures of trucking: tight margins, volatile markets, and nonstop problem-solving.
Here’s why that matters:
- Native to Your Workflows – No extra logins, no separate tools — AI works where you already work.
- Understands Freight – Trained on decades of transportation data and industry know-how, not random internet text.
- Built for Speed – Turns decisions that used to take hours into actions you can take in minutes.
- Proven in the Field – Tested with real fleets before it reaches yours, so it’s ready to deliver day one.
- Scales With You – From a few dozen trucks to enterprise fleets, Cortex grows alongside your business.
With Cortex, PCS TMS doesn’t just record what’s happening — it tells you exactly what to do next and helps you do it instantly. The result: faster decisions, leaner operations, and a competitive edge the others can’t match.
Why It Matters
Cortex strengthens PCS’s role as the operational core of your business — where all workflows connect, context is preserved, and every decision is made with confidence.
- Boost fleet productivity.
- Accelerate critical processes from hours to minutes.
- Free your team to focus on the exceptions that matter most.
“With Cortex, PCS is giving us enterprise-level tech that used to only be for the giants — and making it work for fleets like ours.”
