Freight broker Fura announced it has acquired Barton Logistics. This is Fura\u2019s fifth acquisition, significantly expanding its AI-powered brokerage platform.<\/p>

Financial terms of the transaction were not provided.<\/p>

Founded in 1997, Bandera, Texas-based Barton Logistics specializes in full truckload, less-than-truckload, expedited, intermodal and other 3PL services. The deal adds multiple \u201clong-standing shipper partnerships\u201d to Fura\u2019s network.<\/p>

Frisco, Texas-based Fura<\/a> is primarily focused on full truckload (dry van, refrigerated and flatbed) transportation. It has more than 550 customers and 16,000 carriers on its platform, which executes over 5,000 shipments per month. The 3PL is actively rolling up small and midsize brokers lacking access to modern automation and pricing tools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe the future of logistics will be built by combining great operators with great technology,\u201d said Fura CEO Jeff Dangelo in a news release. Dangelo said Fura\u2019s giving \u201cexperienced operators the tools, automation, and scale they need to grow faster.\u201d<\/p>

Barton Logistics<\/a> will begin operating on Fura\u2019s technology platform, which offers AI-enabled carrier sourcing and pricing tools along with real-time shipment visibility and deeper operational capabilities.<\/p>

\u201cIndependent brokerages have incredible operator talent, but they often lack access to modern technology infrastructure,\u201d said Ryan Morrow, chief revenue officer at Fura. \u2026 \u201cWhen experienced teams join Fura, they immediately gain access to AI-powered tools that help them win more freight, automate manual workflows, and scale their business.\u201d<\/p>

Fura\u2019s previous acquisitions include Chaos Logistics, AOK Freight, Organized Transport and Pinwheel Logistics. <\/p>

\u201cOur focus has always been on building trusted relationships with our customers and delivering reliable service,\u201d said Mandy Barton, founder of Barton Logistics. \u201cJoining Fura allows us to keep doing exactly that, while gaining access to technology and scale that would be difficult for an independent brokerage to build on its own.\u201d<\/p>
