Wabash recently acquired TrailerHawk.ai, a provider of advanced cargo security and smart access management technologies.
This transaction is intended to strengthen Wabash’s Trailers as a Service (TaaS) offering, which empowers logistics providers to achieve greater freight security, visibility, and operational efficiency, the manufacturer reported. TaaS enables logistics providers to grow revenue streams through a nationwide, flexible trailer subscription, including on-demand trailer pools, national maintenance support, and actionable data insights that are powered by the Wabash Marketplace platform.
“By integrating TrailerHawk.ai’s technology into our TaaS program, we’re offering logistics providers a unique advantage—superior cargo security, real-time visibility and data-driven insights that help protect assets and streamline operations,” Mike Pettit, Wabash chief growth officer, said in a news release.
“This acquisition underscores our commitment to delivering customer-focused solutions that address today’s most pressing logistics challenges.”
TrailerHawk.ai’s tools directly address the increasing demand for secure, transparent, and efficient freight movement. With these innovations, Wabash customers gain:
- Advanced cargo security: Smart access management ensures freight integrity throughout its lifecycle.
- Verified asset chain of custody: Actionable insights provide confidence and clarity for every shipment.
- Operational flexibility: Seamless integration into TaaS helps customers adapt quickly to industry shifts and scale efficiently.
As part of the acquisition, Brett Suma, TrailerHawk.ai founder and CEO, will join Wabash Marketplace to lead the ongoing development and scaling of the TaaS and TrailerHawk.ai solutions tailored to logistics providers, Wabash added.
“Having experienced Wabash’s TaaS platform as a customer, I’ve seen its ability to transform logistics operations,” Suma said. “I’m thrilled to join the Wabash team to continue innovating and delivering smarter, more secure solutions for the industry. By helping logistics providers streamline operations and protect assets, we’re creating solutions that deliver immediate and long-term benefits.”
The acquisition also helps reinforce Wabash’s commitment to merging physical and digital technologies, creating connected ecosystems that drive efficiency and reliability across the supply chain.
“We’re investing in the tools and technologies our customers need to succeed in any demand environment,” Pettit concluded. “With Brett’s leadership and the advanced capabilities of TrailerHawk.ai, we’re building smarter, more secure, and connected solutions to drive efficiency, transparency and reliability across the supply chain.”
