Designed for brokers and carriers, CarrierSource Research Agents transform raw shipper activity into clear, actionable steps, making CarrierSource the first platform to fully bridge the gap between shipper research and sales outreach. Until now, freight sales teams relied on manual research, guesswork, and fragmented tools to interpret shipper search activity. Hours were spent trying to sift through actions, identify decision-makers, and craft outreach strategies. With CarrierSource Research Agents, teams can go from shipper intent signal to full context to qualified contact to outreach strategy in minutes. “Brokers and carriers have limited time to truly understand every shipper’s core business,” said Rob Light, CEO & Co-Founder at CarrierSource. “With Research Agents + Shipper Intent Data, we’re turning every shipper search into a roadmap: why they’re in the market, who to talk to, and how to win. This is the future of intent data.” CarrierSource Research Agents consist of three distinct AI agents working together to deliver instant clarity. The **Context Agent** identifies why a shipper is conducting research on CarrierSource, revealing the problem or opportunity driving their search. The **Contact Agent** pinpoints the right contacts within the company most likely behind the intent signal. The **Action Agent** delivers tailored, evidence-backed recommendations and pre-built outreach so sales reps know exactly how to engage. Together, they create the first end-to-end intent-to-action workflow in logistics, where shippers search, signals fire, and sales teams move seamlessly from insight to action. ![Screenshot 2025-09-16 at 9.28.14 AM](https://company.carriersource.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-09-16%20at%209.28.14%20AM.png?width=508&height=500&name=Screenshot%202025-09-16%20at%209.28.14%20AM.png) Built for any team using CarrierSource’s Shipper Intent Data, Research Agents enable freight sales organizations to operationalize signals at scale. CarrierSource is the only platform combining Shipper Intent Data with AI agents for context, contacts, and recommended action, built on proprietary insights unavailable anywhere else in freight. By consolidating the entire sales workflow in one place, CarrierSource Research Agents help sales teams move faster, target more precisely, and convert more consistently.
