Industry Challenges

Why Logistics Operations Break as Volume Scales.

The manual workflows that work at 200 daily shipments become a structural bottleneck at 800. Every additional depot and carrier adds another layer of coordination overhead — and the team that managed it all is now at its ceiling.

Dispatch routing done entirely by hand

Each shipment requires a dispatcher to select carrier, check availability, calculate routing, and send booking confirmation manually. At high volume, this consumes the entire dispatch team's capacity.

Exceptions handled through WhatsApp and email chains

Delayed shipments, damaged goods, and refused deliveries managed via informal channels with no SLA tracking. Average resolution time: 4+ hours. SLA adherence: under 65% for most manual operations.

Clients have no real-time shipment visibility

Status updates are batched and sent end-of-day — or only when a client calls. Enterprise clients expect real-time visibility as a standard condition of contract renewal.

Carrier communications sent individually per shipment

Individual emails to carriers for each booking, exception, and status update. No templating, no tracking, no performance data. Carrier relationship managed purely on personal rapport.

Inventory reorder triggered too late or too early

Manual stock counts and gut-feel reorder decisions lead to either stockouts that halt production or overstock that erodes margin. Demand signals from the production schedule go unused.

Operations reporting built in spreadsheets weekly

Depot performance, on-time rates, exception volumes, and carrier reliability compiled manually each week. 6–8 hours to produce a report that's already 5 days stale on delivery.

The benchmark: A logistics operation handling 600 daily shipments without automation typically pays 22–28% more per shipment in operational cost than an equivalent automated operation — and carries 3–4× higher SLA breach risk. At £42M revenue, that gap is approximately £1.8M annually.

AI Solutions

The Full Logistics Automation Stack,
Deployed and Managed.

Six interconnected pipelines covering dispatch-to-delivery — reducing manual coordination to near-zero and giving your clients the real-time visibility they demand.

Intelligent Dispatch Routing

New shipment booking triggers carrier availability check, route optimisation, cost calculation, and automated booking confirmation — all within 4 minutes. Dispatcher notified only when no carrier meets criteria.

Exception Detection & Triage

Driver app events and carrier webhooks feed a classification pipeline. Exception type determined in under 30 seconds. Client notified, SLA clock started, depot manager alerted via Slack with full context.

Proactive Client Status Updates

Real-time shipment events trigger automated client notifications via their preferred channel. Milestone updates at pickup, in-transit, out-for-delivery, and delivered. Exception updates sent instantly.

Predictive Inventory Reorder

Real-time stock monitoring combined with production schedule signals calculates forward-looking reorder points. Cross-depot transfer suggested before external reorder if surplus exists at another site.

Carrier Performance Management

Every delivery event scored against SLA commitments. Carrier performance dashboard updated daily. Underperforming carriers flagged for review. Dispatch routing algorithm weighted by performance — not just cost.

Real questions from Logistics & Supply Chain teams before they engaged with us — answered plainly.

Ask a Question
FedEx, DHL, UPS, Royal Mail, Evri, DPD, and ShipBob are our primary integrations. We've also integrated with several regional and specialist carriers via their webhook or tracking API. If your carrier provides an API or webhook, we can connect to it.
The routing algorithm weighs cost, SLA requirements, carrier availability, historical performance score, and any route-specific constraints. Weights are configurable — you decide whether to prioritise cost or reliability. The algorithm is transparent: every routing decision shows its reasoning.
Yes. We've integrated with Microlise, Mandata, Freightsoft, and several custom-built TMS platforms. If your TMS exposes an API or webhook, we connect to it rather than replacing it. The automation layer sits on top of your existing systems.
Fallback logic triggers a Slack alert to the duty dispatcher with the shipment details and the reason no carrier was auto-assigned. The dispatcher handles it manually. This covers under 6% of shipments across current deployments.
The dispatch routing and inventory systems are multi-depot aware from day one. Stock transfer logic considers all depots before triggering an external reorder. Exception alerts route to the correct depot manager automatically based on the shipment's assigned depot.
Yes — and it's often the fastest win. Exception triage and client notification can go live in 48–72 hours for most setups. Start there, demonstrate the SLA and CSAT improvement, then expand to dispatch routing and inventory.
