What happens when AI takes over the most inefficient part of logistics?

In this episode of Around the Diamond powered by American Diamond Logistics, Kevin Mench and Steve Wineriter sit down with Dr. Srijan Kumar, CEO of Lighthouse AI, to break down how artificial intelligence is transforming the freight and supply chain industry from the inside out.

From invoice processing to freight bill audits, Lighthouse AI is automating the back office in ways that were impossible just a few years ago—cutting processing times, improving cash flow, and eliminating massive operational bottlenecks.

Dr. Kumar shares how his background in AI at companies like Google and Home Depot—and firsthand experience running brokerage accounting—led him to build a platform that’s now redefining how logistics companies operate.

This episode dives into:

Why logistics has lagged behind in technology—and what’s changing now How AI is automating accounting, invoicing, and dispute resolution The real impact on efficiency, margins, and scalability Why AI doesn’t replace people—it frees them to focus on relationships What the future of AI-powered logistics looks like

From processing invoices in seconds to reducing back-office costs and improving team morale, this conversation shows how AI is no longer the future—it’s already here.

If you’re in logistics, supply chain, freight brokerage, or business operations, this episode is a must-listen.
