AI Workflows We Build for Logistics & Supply Chain Operations

Purpose-built automation for enterprise shippers, 3PLs, freight brokerages, and customs operations.

Customs & Trade Compliance

AI assembles customs packages — commercial invoices, certificates of origin, HS classifications, and C-TPAT audit documentation. Validates against CBP requirements, IATA dangerous goods regulations, and IMO maritime standards. Multi-jurisdiction filings are accurate and on time.

70% faster customs clearance
→

Carrier Invoice Reconciliation

AI matches carrier invoices against contracted rates, BOLs, and accessorial schedules across hundreds of lanes and carriers. Flags overcharges, duplicate billings, and missing credits automatically. Your AP team reviews exceptions, not every invoice in a stack of thousands.

95% fewer billing discrepancies
→

Freight Documentation & BOL Processing

AI extracts data from bills of lading, packing lists, commercial invoices, and proof-of-delivery documents across multi-modal shipments. Matches shipment data across document sets and flags discrepancies before they cascade into claims or customs delays.

85% faster document processing
→

Regulatory Compliance & Safety Reporting

AI tracks FMCSA compliance, DOT safety ratings, hours-of-service documentation, hazmat certifications, and carrier insurance across your entire network. Flags expirations 30-60-90 days out. Audit trails are automatic and regulator-ready.

Zero compliance gaps at audit
→

Warehouse & Inventory Documentation

AI processes receiving documents, inventory adjustments, cycle count reconciliations, and warehouse transfer orders across multiple facilities. Consolidates WMS data into unified reporting and flags discrepancies between physical counts and system records.

Real-time cross-facility visibility
→

Claims & Exception Management

AI captures freight claims, damage reports, and shortage documentation across carriers and modes. Matches claims to shipment records, calculates liability, tracks resolution timelines, and generates carrier scorecards. No more claims falling through the cracks.

80% faster claims resolution

Case Study
10x Faster Reconciliation | $2.1M Annual Savings
A top-20 3PL managing 35,000+ shipments per month across 300 carriers was spending two weeks reconciling carrier invoices each billing cycle. Their finance team manually compared invoices against contracted rates, accessorial agreements, and BOL data — catching maybe 30% of overcharges. Carric built a reconciliation workflow that ingests carrier invoices in any format, matches against rate contracts and shipment data automatically, and flags every discrepancy for review. Processing dropped from two weeks to 48 hours. Overcharge recovery increased from 30% to 97%. The operation recovered $2.1M in the first year from overcharges, duplicate billings, and incorrect accessorials that would have been paid without question.

Common Questions About AI for Logistics & Supply Chain

Does this integrate with our TMS and WMS?
We connect to SAP TM, Oracle TMS, Blue Yonder, Manhattan Associates, JDA, and any system that outputs data. The AI sits on top of your existing stack — no rip-and-replace. If your WMS has an API or data export, we integrate.
We use 200+ carriers across multiple modes. Can AI handle that complexity?
That’s where AI delivers the highest ROI. The more carriers, modes, and document formats you manage, the more manual overhead you eliminate. We’ve built workflows that reconcile invoices across hundreds of carriers with different rate structures, accessorial schedules, and billing formats.
How does this handle customs compliance across multiple jurisdictions?
The AI is configured per jurisdiction and regulatory authority. FMCSA, DOT, CBP, C-TPAT, IATA, IMO — each authority’s documentation and filing requirements are built into the workflow. Multi-modal shipments crossing jurisdictions are handled automatically.
We process 50,000+ shipments per month. Can it scale?
Enterprise volume is the use case. AI processes documents in seconds, not hours. At 50,000 shipments per month, the manual overhead in reconciliation, documentation, and compliance alone justifies the investment many times over.
What about data security? We handle shipper PII and trade secrets.
We build within your infrastructure. Your data stays in your environment. We follow SOC 2 practices, encrypt at rest and in transit, and can deploy on-premises or in your private cloud. Full audit trails on every document processed.
We have an IT team and data engineers. Why not build this in-house?
Your IT team knows your systems. We know AI workflow automation for logistics operations. Most enterprise AI projects fail because they’re treated as IT projects rather than operations projects. We bring the AI expertise; your team brings the domain knowledge and system access.
How long until we see results?
First workflow live in 60 days. Most logistics enterprises start with carrier invoice reconciliation or customs documentation because the volume is high and the payback is immediate.
What’s the ROI look like at enterprise scale?
Logistics enterprises processing 10,000+ shipments per month typically see $1M–$3M in annual savings from faster reconciliation, fewer overcharges, reduced customs delays, and lower compliance overhead. The AI Roadmap identifies the exact number for your operation.
