NEW YORK, NY, November 26, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ — Airpals, a pioneering tech startup in corporate and industrial shipping solutions, proudly announces the launch of the AI Logistics Assistant, the first tool of its kind designed specifically for automating shipping workflows. Tailored for professionals in operational and administrative roles, the AI Shipping Assistant empowers users to minimize time spent on shipping tasks, freeing them to focus on higher priorities.
