Location & Work Setup
With Augment, we set out to create a fully autonomous AI platform that streamlines operations and reclaims the human element in logistics. Our founders recognized a pattern: talented individuals were stuck copying and pasting data and fielding endless phone calls instead of focusing on deeper problem-solving and customer relationships. That insight became our mission-to free logistics professionals from busywork so they can invest their expertise where it counts most. Ultimately, Augment isn't just about efficiency; it's about elevating an entire industry by giving teams the tools they need to innovate, adapt, and thrive in an ever-changing global marketplace.
