Cognizant and Cognition have put an autonomous AI engineering project into production at Odyssey Logistics, delivering a 37 per cent net cost saving, according to Odyssey.
The project rebuilt parts of Odyssey's transportation management platform, moving them from legacy Microsoft Access and Visual Basic for Applications forms into cloud-native software. A seven-person Cognizant team used Cognition's AI software engineer, Devin, to convert legacy components and generate tests, deployment pipelines and documentation alongside the code.
Odyssey is a multimodal logistics provider with a freight network of more than USD $3 billion, serving industrial customers across chemicals, metals, food-grade products and other specialised markets. It is developing its OdysseyONE platform to support order intake, execution, visibility and lifecycle management across its network.
The latest phase consolidated order intake and the full shipment lifecycle onto that platform. The workflow logic had to be preserved during the migration, while the budget and delivery timeline left little room for a conventional rewrite.
According to the companies, delivery throughput rose by roughly one-third compared with a conventional approach. The current phase is now live, and the wider programme is continuing.
Cognizant and Cognition have worked together since 2024 and began a dedicated AI engineering collaboration in January 2026. The arrangement combines Cognition's Devin software with Cognizant's engineering teams, which review and approve code changes before they are merged.
Cognizant said it has trained more than 3,000 associates on the Devin platform. It said its internal use of the system has cut the time needed to reach release-ready code by more than 50 per cent and increased the speed of greenfield development by five to six times.
