Melrose is an AI operations platform for freight and logistics that reads incoming delivery orders, emails, PDFs, and EDI, then automates the operational work between a company's existing systems—pricing quotes, order entry into the TMS, status updates, and portal management. It serves carriers, brokers, and 3PLs, sitting on top of TMS platforms like McLeod, PortPro, and MercuryGate rather than replacing them.</parameter> <parameter name="founders">[]
