Licensing logistics and supply chain data for AI

By Ade Molajo · Updated · How we check figures

Quick answer

Yes. Mercor names logistics and supply chain among its target industries, citing shipping manifests, dispatch logs and invoices, though it publishes no range for it. micro1 and Mode take firms with 30+ staff, publishing $100K–$2M+ and $100K–$5M. Remove customer, consignee and driver personal data, and check client contracts before including their shipments.

Where these records usually live

Transport and warehouse

  • Descartes
  • Manhattan
  • Mandata
  • Samsara

ERP and finance

  • SAP
  • NetSuite
  • QuickBooks

Examples of common tools, to help you find your records. Product names and logos belong to their owners; no affiliation or endorsement.

02Why buyers want it

Logistics runs on decisions under constraints: which route, which vehicle, what to do when a delivery fails. Years of dispatch logs and exceptions with their outcomes show how those decisions get made in practice.

03What to check first

  • Customer and consignee data. Names and addresses come out before anything is shared.
  • Driver data. Tracking and performance tied to individuals is personal data.
  • Client contracts. 3PL and freight data may belong to the shipper.

04What's usually licensable, and what isn't

Logistics: usually licensable (Dispatch and routing logs; Shipment and manifest records, people removed; Warehouse and inventory procedures; Invoices with customers anonymised) versus check first or leave out (Customer and consignee personal data; Driver tracking tied to individuals; Client data under contract; Customs and security-sensitive data).Usually licensableDispatch and routing logsShipment and manifest records, people removedWarehouse and inventory proceduresInvoices with customers anonymisedCheck first, or leave outCustomer and consignee personal dataDriver tracking tied to individualsClient data under contractCustoms and security-sensitive data

The Data Licensing Guide for Logistics and Supply Chain Companies covers it in a PDF for logistics companies: what can be licensed, what customer and driver data keep out, and each programme's published figures, with a worked example and the questions to ask before you sign.

06Before you apply

  1. List TMS, WMS and telematics systems and years of history.
  2. Separate your own operations from client-owned data.
  3. Anonymise customers, consignees and drivers.
  4. Leave out security-sensitive and customs data.

This isn't legal advice.

07Check which programmes you're likely to match

Our free fit check asks about your size, location, records and tools, then shows which programmes you're likely to match. The programme decides.

08Questions people ask

What logistics data do AI companies want?

Mercor names shipping manifests, dispatch logs and invoices. Routing decisions, exceptions and how they were resolved are what make it useful.

Is driver tracking data licensable?

Tracking tied to identifiable drivers is personal data. Aggregate or anonymise it, or leave it out.
