AI-powered operational transformation

Consistent with the company's strategy to create a highly scalable digital operating model capable of supporting future expansion, acquisitions, international growth and new revenue opportunities, NFG has commenced implementing AI-enabled workflows and quality management technologies intended to improve efficiency, traceability and decision making across key business processes

NFG is working with Interloom Technologies to implement an AI-driven platform that converts operational processes and internal business knowledge into structured digital workflows while retaining human oversight and leveraging leading frontier models, including Open AI and Anthropic, to provide advanced reasoning and language capabilities.

The platform will initially be deployed in logistics, with planned expansion into invoice processing, claims management, customer service and commercial operations.

The implementation is expected to automate routine administrative activities, strengthen document and case management, improve follow-up and escalation processes, maintain operational audit trails, and support the retention of business knowledge. The platform will also support scalability without a corresponding increase in administrative complexity.
