Sell your logistics or manufacturing company's data to AI

Telegraph paid a freight broker $650K and an engineering firm $450K. Scale, micro1 and Miro Advisory also name logistics. What sells and who qualifies.

Last checked October 27, 2026

Yes. Four AI companies we list name logistics or manufacturing, and Telegraph's two largest published deals went to a freight broker and an engineering firm.

In their own words

Telegraph’s two largest published deals were in freight and engineering

Telegraph shows three past deals on its page, and the two biggest fit here. It paid $650K to a 100-person freight broker for “rate quotes, shipment documents, dispatch records, delivery exceptions, and claims”, and $450K to a 70-person engineering firm for “CAD drawings, calculations, technical reports, revisions, and project specifications.” These are Telegraph’s examples, not prices for your company. The company data estimator runs its formula on your headcount and years in business.

Dispatch records, claims and drawings are what sells

What Telegraph paid for is the record of decisions: a quote, the exception that followed and how it was settled. In most logistics and manufacturing companies that sits in:

  • Email with carriers, suppliers and customers.
  • Transport and warehouse systems, which Miro Advisory names. Export them as database or CSV files.
  • Drawings, specs and inspection reports on shared drives. Telegraph takes CAD files from Google Drive, Dropbox and Box.
  • SOPs and work instructions, the “operational SOPs” and “inventory management” micro1 names.
  • Invoices and claims in your accounting records.

Telegraph also lists scans and reports, so paper files that were scanned count too.

You decide what stays out

You license an agreed copy, and the scope comes before any export. Current designs, live price lists and anything a customer owns can stay out. Telegraph removes names, contact details and account IDs from the copy before it is shared.

Size floors start at 20 to 40 people

micro1 asks for 30 or more full-time employees, Mode for 30, and Scale prefers 40. Miro Advisory works with roughly 20 to 700. Telegraph’s two deals here were with companies of 70 and 100 people.

Questions owners ask

Do AI companies want freight and logistics records?

Yes. Scale names freight brokerage and 3PL, Telegraph says it paid a 100-person freight broker $650K, and Miro Advisory names transport and warehouse management systems.

Can a manufacturer license its CAD files?

Telegraph takes company drives including CAD files, and its $450K engineering deal covered CAD drawings, calculations and specs. Leave out designs a customer owns or that you still sell.
