Why Shackleton & Drake

Three capabilities that legacy platforms simply cannot match—and never will.

Data Sovereignty

Your data. Your infrastructure. Our AI.

❌ Legacy Platforms (WiseTech/E2Open)

  • Your data in their centralized cloud
  • Competitors' data alongside yours
  • Platform monetizes your intelligence
  • Limited data portability
  • Compliance risks (GDPR, data residency)
  • WiseTech acquisition = more consolidation

✓ DRAKE OS (Federated)

  • Runs in YOUR cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP)
  • Data never leaves your environment
  • Full AI capabilities locally
  • Export all data anytime
  • Compliance built-in by design
  • Contractual data sovereignty guarantees

This is our #1 competitive differentiator in every sales conversation.

WiseTech's acquisition of E2Open has made data sovereignty a board-level concern for every enterprise.

90% Autonomous Operations

AI agents that act, not just advise.

10

AI Agents

Specialized agents for demand planning, logistics execution, trade compliance, carrier management, and more.

<2

FTEs to Operate

Legacy platforms require 10-20 FTEs. DRAKE OS runs with minimal human oversight.

24/7

Always Working

Agents don't sleep. Continuous optimization, exception handling, and customer communication.

What "Autonomous" Actually Means

Our agents don't just recommend—they execute. When a shipment is delayed, the Exception Handling Agent automatically reroutes, notifies customers, and adjusts downstream schedules. No human in the loop for routine decisions.

Human approval required only for: Decisions over $100K, denied party hits, major forecast changes.
