Green Bay, Wis., October 7, 2026 – Breakthrough, a leading provider of sustainable fuel and freight solutions, has been named to the 2027 FreightTech100 by FreightWaves. The annual list recognizes 100 companies for their innovation, market impact, and evolution across the freight and supply chain technology industry.

Through its FELIX platform, Breakthrough helps shippers turn uncertainty into confident, data-driven decision-making across energy, freight, and sustainability. Over the past year, Breakthrough has expanded its technology to deliver more predictive, accessible, and actionable intelligence:

  • AskFELIX, an AI agent built into the FELIX platform, pairs Breakthrough's proprietary data and market expertise with a natural-language interface, so shippers get answers in real time instead of waiting on static reports.
  • Scenario planner within CleanMile lets shippers forecast emissions, model decarbonization pathways, and weigh tradeoffs before committing resources, using lane-, carrier-, and mode-level analysis.
  • Enhanced carrier search in Capac-ID helps shippers vet carriers on sustainability score, crash and incident performance, carrier confidence score, regional performance, and performance against benchmark.

“Being named to the FreightTech100 is a great acknowledgement of the work our team does to help shippers make stronger decisions in a volatile market,” said Jenny Vander Zanden, Chief Operating Officer at Breakthrough. “Our clients need more than visibility. They need timely insight, clear direction and confidence in where to act next, and our technology and people are built to provide it.”

Breakthrough continues to challenge outdated transportation practices with technology built around the true needs of shippers. Its placement on the FreightTech100 reinforces the company's commitment to setting the standard for what a freight technology partner should deliver in a volatile market.
