The agentic platform
for global trade.
LXT is where AI employees and human employees plan and execute the work of moving cargo across borders. One platform. One context. The agents and the team working from the same data, in real time.
Built by the founders of Shipmnts — on the operating base of 5,000+ trade operators they've already scaled.
Trade has been waiting for this.
For half a century, cross-border cargo movement has run on email threads, PDF chains, and the human memory of operators who know which carrier accepts which kind of cargo on which lane on which day.
A single shipment crosses fifteen parties, six documents, four jurisdictions, and three currencies. Most of the coordination still happens in someone's inbox. Most of the work is repetitive, document-heavy, and high-stakes.
The next decade compresses this work into AI employees who read, reason, decide, and act — sitting in the same platform as the human team, sharing the same context, escalating to each other. LXT is building that platform.
AI employees. Human employees. One workspace.
the repetitive work.
the judgment work.
the same context.
We've built the operating system once. Now we're building the intelligence layer.
A decade ago, two founders started Shipmnts — a trade and logistics platform for freight forwarders, customs brokers, and the businesses they serve. It became the operating system for 5,000+ trade operators across India, the Gulf, and Southeast Asia. Profitable. SOC 2 Type II certified. Growing ~40% YoY. A successful venture, still growing.
Through ten years of running shipments, drafting documents, filing entries, reconciling invoices alongside customers, the founders saw the same pattern repeat thousands of times a day: 70% of the work is repetitive. The other 30% requires judgment.
LXT is the answer to what they saw. A separate venture under the same parent company, built fresh as an AI-native platform — with structural access to the operating base, schemas, workflows, and a decade of trade context that Shipmnts has accumulated.
Year-ten operating ground.
Day-one AI venture.
The category of AI-native operations platforms has emerged quickly. Rillet rebuilt ERP for AI-native finance. Digits did the same for SMB accounting. Pallet did it for freight brokers. Raft did it for forwarders and customs.
All four are built from scratch. All four are trying to displace incumbents — NetSuite, QuickBooks, MercuryGate, CargoWise — while simultaneously acquiring customers, learning the operating context, and building trust on data they don't yet have.
LXT starts from inside the operating context. Shipmnts has spent ten years becoming the system of record for thousands of trade operators. Every shipment, document, rate, party, invoice, customs entry, and correction sits in a structured, audited, schema-rich operating base — accessible to LXT as a sibling venture under the same parent company.
LXT is not a year-zero startup. It is a fresh AI venture starting from year-ten operating ground. That is the structural reason it will do what others cannot.
System of record first. Agents next.
Intercom owned the inbox before Fin existed. They didn't bolt AI onto someone else's customer support tool — they spent a decade owning the system of record, then put AI on top of it. That's why Fin worked.
The same pattern, applied to global trade. Shipmnts spent a decade becoming the system of record. LXT is the agentic layer built on it. The agents don't need to scrape inboxes or stitch third-party APIs. They have the data, the schema, the audit trail, and the right to act.
of quoting, job creation, follow-up, documentation, invoicing, and collection — done by AI employees by December 2028.
The remaining 30% is where human employees do their best work.
Operators who move the trade that moves the world.
Freight Forwarders
Multi-country operators running thousands of shipments per month across air, sea, and land.
Customs Brokers
High-volume, high-compliance houses filing across multiple jurisdictions every day.
Exporters
Manufacturers and trading houses that move their own freight and need control end to end.
Importers
Receiving-side trade teams managing supply chains across origins, lanes, and partners.
Transporters
Moving cargo on the ground, who need coordination, dispatch, and faster payment.
LXT owns agentic trade.
WiseTech owns intelligence applied to logistics. Descartes owns systematic rigor. Flexport owns digital-first flexibility. project44 owns real-time visibility.
Among the new AI-native operations platforms — Rillet, Digits, Pallet, Raft — each is building from scratch in a different vertical. None has an operating base at scale to build on. LXT does.
LXT owns the agentic platform for global trade — the workspace where AI employees and human employees plan and execute together, on an operating base ten years deep. Nobody else can claim that. We will.
Platform first. Network next.
The standard operating system for trade.
LXT runs the work of trade across 20+ countries. AI employees do most of the repetitive work; humans do the judgment work; the two are inseparable inside the same platform.
A network the world trades through.
Carriers distribute capacity through LXT. Financiers distribute credit. Inspection companies distribute services. Cargo payments flow through it. The intelligence layer — agents trained on the largest corpus of trade work in existence — orchestrates trade across borders, anywhere.
A decade of trade, already structured.

Second time. Different stakes.
Karan Shah and Prasann are on their second company together. Their first scaled to roughly $800K ARR. The lessons compounded.
The decade after was Shipmnts — a successful venture they built from scratch, growing into the operating system for 5,000+ trade operators across India, the Gulf, and Southeast Asia. Profitable. SOC 2 Type II. Growing ~40% a year. Still growing.
LXT is the next venture. Same founders. Same parent company. Different bet — the agentic platform on top of the operating base they've already built. They are not building an AI demo. They are building the platform that the next century of cargo movement will be coordinated through.
