PREDICTIV AI LAUNCHES FLOCKENTIS, BRINGING CANADIAN AI DECISION INTELLIGENCE TO GLOBAL FLEET AND LOGISTICS OPERATIONS

Predictiv AI Inc. has launched Flockentis, an artificial-intelligence-powered fleet decision engine developed by its subsidiary, Shift Technologies Canada Inc., and offered through the Shift AI platform. A proof of concept (POC) is under way with a commercial fleet operator in the United Kingdom, marking an international evaluation of this Canadian AI technology.

Flockentis is designed to help transportation operators make more informed decisions before dispatch, by combining fleet resources, delivery commitments, regulatory constraints, commercial pricing and estimated carbon impact into a single planning process.

From fleet visibility to fleet decision intelligence

While traditional fleet management tools emphasize vehicle tracking and historical reporting, Flockentis applies multiobjective AI optimization to support forward-looking operational decisions. It evaluates more than 10 considerations, including operating cost, distance, delivery punctuality, job priority, driver workload, legal driving hours and mandatory breaks, vehicle health, capacity, cargo compatibility, hazardous-goods requirements, safety, and estimated emissions.

Operators can submit up to 5,000 jobs per planning cycle. Flockentis can generate three alternative operating plans -- Plan A, Plan B and Plan C -- to compare strategies that prioritize cost, service performance or reduced environmental impact. Plans can include proposed vehicle and driver assignments, stop sequences, estimated arrival, and departure times, driver hours, capacity utilization, projected revenue and operating costs, fleet utilization, and estimated carbon impact.

The engine can also identify jobs that cannot be completed within available resources or operating constraints and indicate why, allowing planners to address exceptions before vehicles leave the yard.

Co-ordinated AI and swarm-inspired decision intelligence

Flockentis uses co-ordinated, multiobjective planning to assess competing operational priorities and compare alternative solutions. This approach aligns with the company's broader interest in swarm intelligence and multiagent AI, in which complex decisions are addressed through co-ordinated intelligent processes. The company is not representing Flockentis as a deployed autonomous swarm-agent system without separate technical validation of that architecture.

Commercial intelligence built into fleet planning

Flockentis can assess individual jobs, routes and operating plans against an operator's customer tariffs and commercial rules, including postcode or zone-based pricing, weight bands, timed-based delivery charges, and specialist cargo requirements. This enables planners to evaluate projected revenue and costs alongside delivery performance, compliance and emissions, rather than optimizing travel distance alone.

"Canadian AI innovation should compete globally by solving real commercial problems," said Suman Pushparajah, chief executive officer of Predictiv AI. "A transportation company needs more than the shortest route. It needs the right driver, vehicle and load, delivered on right time, within regulatory requirements, and with a clear view of whether the work makes commercial sense. Flockentis is designed to bring those decisions together before dispatch.

"Our goal is to move Shift AI beyond fleet visibility into operational decision intelligence. The U.K. proof of concept is an important step in assessing the international relevance of this Canadian AI technology," added Mr. Pushparajah.

AI research and technology leadership

Flockentis technology development is led by Prof. Subha Fernando, chief AI officer at Predictiv AI, whose expertise includes machine learning, deep learning, intelligent agent technologies and large-scale enterprise systems. Her leadership supports the application of advanced AI methods to real-world fleet planning and optimization challenges.

Predictiv AI also benefits from the strategic advisory expertise of Prof. George Rzevski, recognized for his work in complexity science, complex adaptive systems, swarm intelligence and multiagent AI. His research and advisory role inform the company's broader approach to intelligent coordination across fleets, logistics and operational networks. The company has previously announced his appointment as strategic adviser.

United Kingdom proof of concept under way

Shift has initiated a Flockentis POC with a commercial fleet operator in the United Kingdom to assess planning capabilities in an operational setting. The technology has been configured for U.K. requirements, including miles, pounds sterling, postcode-based tariff zones, driver-hour, and mandatory-break requirements and ADR considerations for dangerous-goods transportation.

The company intends to use findings and customer feedback from the POC to guide further product development and potential commercialization. The POC does not, by itself, establish a future commercial deployment or a revenue commitment.

Canadian AI technology for global markets

Predictiv AI aims to develop Canadian-owned, industry-specific AI capabilities that can be adapted to the operational and regulatory requirements of international markets. Flockentis is designed for commercial freight carriers, third party logistics providers, pallet and distribution networks, retail and wholesale fleets, manufacturing fleets, and specialist transportation operators.

The company believes that integrating Flockentis with Shift AI's fleet and asset management capabilities may support expanded software services, stronger customer relationships and international market opportunities, subject to technical validation, customer adoption and commercial execution.
