(CSE:PAI)(FWB:7IT) (\"Predictiv AI\" or the \"Company\"), is\npleased to announce that its subsidiary, Shift Technologies Inc. (\"Shift AI\"),\nhas secured a multi-phase commercial contract with Prompt Xpress (Pvt) Ltd and\nPrompt Xpress International (\"Prompt Xpress\"), one of Sri Lanka's largest\ncourier and logistics networks.\n\nThis contract represents the first major commercial deployment under Predictiv\nAI's recently announced joint venture with Arcasia Holdings (Pvt) Ltd\n(\"Arcasia Holdings\"), validating the Company's strategy of combining Shift\nAI's transportation management system (TMS) with established operating\nnetworks to drive rapid, real-world adoption in high-growth markets.\n(https://app.accessnewswire.com/imagelibrary/1f81ce11-0977-4d0e-8200-07b27a1b1c79/1165969/picture6.png)\nDeployment at National Scale\n\nPrompt Xpress operates the most extensive delivery network in Sri Lanka, with\nnationwide coverage and a growing international footprint. Its network\nsupports a diverse and growing base of enterprise and e-commerce customers,\nincluding global and regional platforms such as Daraz, Shein, and Temu, as\nwell as financial institutions and logistics partners, including DTDC Express\nLimited.\n\nUnder this first phase contract, Shift AI will be deployed into a\nhigh-throughput logistics environment that includes:\n*\n300+ transport trucks that deliver courier packages from personal to bulk\nacross the island with dock to dock tracking capabilities and will be\nfacilitating the movement between 90+ branches covering the full territory\n\nThis positions Shift AI at the core of daily logistics operations within one\nof the region's most active delivery networks.\n\nPhase 1: Middle-Mile Transformation (Foundation Layer)\n\nThe initial phase started in May 2026, focusing on digitizing and optimizing\nmiddle-mile logistics-the backbone of large-scale delivery networks.\n\nThis includes:\n*\nCoordination of 300+ trucks across 80+ hubs\n*\nContinuous, high-volume parcel movement between sorting and distribution\ncenters\n*\nNetwork-wide route, load, and schedule optimization\n\nShift AI will deploy a tightly integrated hardware and software solution\nfeaturing:\n*\nAI-driven fleet orchestration and route optimization\n*\nReal-time vehicle visibility and utilization tracking\n*\nLoad balancing and scheduling intelligence\n*\nDeployment of Shiftmatics devices enabling high-frequency GPS, telematics\ndata, and driver performance monitoring\n\nThis phase establishes the operational data layer and control infrastructure\nacross the network.\n\nIn addition, Shift AI is currently working with Prompt Xpress on the\nimplementation and operational planning of its Last Mile Solution (LMS) - a\nlandmark enhancement to the Shift AI platform. The LMS is expected to provide\ndirect visibility into the movement of packages at the last-mile level,\nrepresenting a meaningful volume driver and an important step forward in Shift\nAI's evolution as a full-stack logistics technology partner.\n\nShift AI and Prompt Xpress are currently aligning on operational requirements,\nworkflows, and deployment processes for the last-mile solution, with both\nparties targeting an initial deployment prior to the end of Q3.\n\n\"As one of Sri Lanka's largest logistics networks, our priority is\ncontinuously improving efficiency, visibility, and service quality across our\noperations,\" said Sandra Saldin, CEO of Prompt Xpress. \"Partnering with Shift\nAI allows us to introduce an end-to-end technology layer across both our\nmiddle-mile and last-mile networks. This is a significant step in modernizing\nour infrastructure and scaling to meet the growing demands of e-commerce and\nenterprise logistics.\"\n\nIntegrated Hardware Advantage\n\nA key differentiator in this deployment is Shiftmatics, Shift AI's proprietary\nhardware platform, purpose-built for logistics environments. This enables:\n*\nSeamless integration between hardware and software layers\n*\nHigh-quality, real-time operational data capture\n*\nScalable deployment across large fleets\n(https://app.accessnewswire.com/imagelibrary/a7fbcf2e-dfd8-4c42-8e81-0cd61d611240/1165969/picture1.png)\nBy controlling both the data and execution layers across hardware and\nsoftware, Predictiv AI positions itself as an end-to-end logistics\ninfrastructure provider rather than a point solution vendor.\n\nThis contract establishes Shift AI as a core infrastructure layer within a\nnational-scale logistics network and demonstrates the Company's ability to:\n*\nEmbed directly within high-volume, real-world logistics operations\n*\nGenerate recurring SaaS and transaction-based revenue tied to delivery volume\n*\nScale through partnerships with established logistics operators\n*\nReplicate a proven deployment model across additional regions and networks\n\n\"This contract is a direct result of our joint venture strategy,\" said Suman\nPushparajah, Chief Executive Officer of Predictiv AI. \"We are actively\ndeploying our middle-mile logistics platform, combining hardware, software,\nand operational intelligence to improve fleet visibility and execution. At the\nsame time, we are working toward integrating our last-mile solution, which we\nbelieve represents a significant growth opportunity for Shift AI. The\nexpansion into last-mile delivery also opens the door to a per-package revenue\nmodel, creating a scalable platform aligned with long-term logistics volume\ngrowth.\"\n\nThe Company expects this deployment to expand over time as additional\nvehicles, routes, and delivery volumes are integrated into the platform.\n\nAbout Predictiv AI Inc.\n\nPredictiv AI Inc. is a Canadian artificial intelligence company focused on\ndeveloping vertical AI applications for defined industries.
