The platform uses “AI Workers” that handle operational tasks in air, sea, and land freight—from preparing quotes and making bookings to tracking shipments and reconciling invoices. The software records the decision-making logic behind each action, allowing teams to scale not only their capacity but also their knowledge.
“Freight forwarding is full of decisions that are still trapped in email inboxes, spreadsheets, and the minds of employees,” says Yagiz Abik, CEO of 5U AI.
“We’re building AI Workers that understand freight forwarding processes, carry out the work, and capture the decision-making logic behind it.”

5U AI is already in use at freight forwarders and carriers across Europe, including TCI International Logistics. The company was founded in 2025 by TUM graduates Yagiz Abik and Fehmi Şener and is supported by experienced logistics executives, including former executives from DHL, GEODIS, DSV, Maersk, and Ceva Logistics. The company is based in Munich and is currently expanding its team across all departments.
