What We Automate

We don't know every problem in your operation. You do. These are the types of work we engineer AI for. You tell us where it hurts most.

Data Entry Automation

→

Your team re-types data from one system to another. We eliminate that.

bills of lading proof of delivery customs documents carrier rate sheets

Incoming Request Processing

→

Requests come in from everywhere in every format. We read, classify, and route them.

load tenders pickup requests delivery appointments claims submissions

Report & Dashboard Consolidation

→

Your data lives in 5 systems. Getting one report means asking 3 people. We consolidate it.

carrier scorecards cost per mile analysis on-time delivery metrics lane analysis

Compliance & Audit Readiness

→

Every audit is a fire drill. We keep you ready all the time.

DOT compliance hazmat documentation carrier insurance verification customs records

Billing, Payments & Reconciliation

→

Your finance team spends days matching payments to services. We do it in minutes.

freight invoice audit accessorial verification rate confirmation matching detention billing

Client Follow-up & Communication

→

Reminders, follow-ups, status updates — every touchpoint your team does manually.

shipment status updates delivery confirmations exception notifications ETA alerts

Common Questions About AI for Transportation Operations

How do you connect with our TMS and carrier systems?
We integrate with whatever TMS you run — MercuryGate, Oracle TMS, BluJay, or custom-built systems. The AI layer connects via API, EDI, or web automation to your carrier portals. We don't replace your TMS. We automate the manual steps around it — the rate shopping across portals, the tracking email monitoring, and the POD reconciliation your dispatchers do all day.
Can the AI handle the volume and variety of our carrier network?
Yes. Whether you work with 10 carriers or 500, the AI learns each carrier's rate structures, transit times, and document formats. It adapts to carrier-specific portals, EDI formats, and communication preferences. New carriers are typically automated within the first week after learning their specific patterns.
How does automated rate shopping work without sacrificing service quality?
The AI doesn't just find the cheapest rate. It factors in transit time requirements, carrier performance history, damage rates, on-time delivery scores, and your specific service level agreements. Your dispatchers set the rules — the AI applies them consistently across every shipment instead of relying on memory and habit.
What happens when tracking data is inconsistent or delayed?
The AI cross-references data from multiple sources — carrier portals, EDI updates, driver check-ins, and customer notifications. When data conflicts, it flags the discrepancy and escalates to your team with all the context needed to resolve it quickly. No more discovering a missed delivery 3 days after the fact.
How do we measure ROI on transportation automation?
We define metrics with you before building. Typical transportation metrics: rate shopping time per load, freight cost per mile, POD collection rate, claims processing time, carrier compliance rate, and detention/demurrage charges. We set up dashboards showing before/after in real-time. If numbers don't improve within 90 days, we fix it on our dime.
What's the total cost for year 1?
Two options. Per Workflow: $25K-$75K per workflow, best for starting with one high-impact process like rate shopping or POD reconciliation. Dedicated Team: ~$22K/month for 2+ AI engineers embedded in your operation, building multiple workflows continuously. Most transportation teams start with one workflow, prove the ROI, then expand. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute assessment — no commitment.
