DALLAS, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MODE Global, a leading third-party logistics (3PL) firm, has been awarded the Digital Freight Matching Platform of the Year in the fifth annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by SupplyTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout technology companies, products and services in the supply chain technology and logistics industry around the globe.
MODE Global is built on a robust digital ecosystem that automates and optimizes logistics operations in order to get the most out of supply chains. MODE IQ is its intelligence-driven freight management system that employs predictive rating and machine learning capabilities to enhance user experience for carriers. The platform effectively matches freight with MODE Global’s extensive carrier network, prioritizing continuous optimization and efficiency, enhancing operational productivity, and saving time by identifying the best carriers for their loads.
MODE IQ is a building block for the business to focus on continuous network optimization and efficiencies for all parties to deliver a seamless supply chain, starting with automated bid board quoting and load matching. The goal is to minimize the time spent on non-value-added activities, freeing up carriers to focus on more business-critical activities such as customer service and carrier relationship management.
Key features of the platform include autonomous carrier load matching, enhanced carrier rate predictions, routing guide deployment, autonomous email quoting and booking, and a frictionless carrier network experience.
“Time is everything in logistics. With the MODE IQ platform, our carriers and customers can trust in comprehensive digital freight management to streamline and optimize logistics programs, allowing their teams to focus on other business-critical activities,” said Lance Malesh, president and CEO of MODE Global. “Our approach is to challenge the way it’s always been done, as our mission remains to drive global commerce by delivering leading-edge transportation and logistics services. We’re pleased to accept this award from SupplyTech Breakthrough for our MODE IQ platform.”
The mission of the annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize the innovators transforming the global supply chain landscape through technology. The program conducts a comprehensive analysis of the companies, technologies and solutions redefining how supply chain businesses operate, engage partners and drive growth. From procurement and omnichannel logistics to AI-driven analytics, automation and last-mile innovation, these breakthrough solutions are enabling supply chain companies to adapt faster, operate smarter and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
“MODE IQ acts as a digital freight assistant, streamlining carrier experiences through automated quoting and load matching. Success in logistics relies on partnering with providers that can manage supply chain initiatives seamlessly, allowing customers to concentrate on their core business. However, most brokers are still mired in outdated manual processes and workflows,” said Bryan Vaughn, managing director of SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. “By reducing the time spent on administrative tasks, MODE IQ empowers carriers to concentrate on core activities that add value, such as improving customer relations and service delivery. We’re pleased to award MODE Global with ‘Digital Freight Matching Platform of the Year!’”
