Replace manual dispatch, carrier selection, and tracking workflows with AI-driven infrastructure that routes, executes, and optimises in real time.

Built for logistics teams that have outgrown spreadsheets, SOPs, and disconnected tools.

Every logistics operator we audit shares the same failure shape. It's not tech debt — it's the absence of a system where a system should be.

/ pain · 016–24h lag

Manual dispatch delays

Orders sit 6–24 hours before routing. Ops staff triage inboxes, match to carriers, then re-key bookings into portals.

/ pain · 02+18% cost

Carrier selection inefficiency

Static spreadsheet rules decide who carries what. No dynamic optimisation on cost, capacity or transit time.

/ pain · 030 live view

Fragmented tracking

Data scattered across carrier portals, emails and screenshots. No real-time visibility, no single shipment state.

/ pain · 041 FTE / 10k

Hiring dependency

Growth requires proportional headcount. Peak season = temps on rate-shopping, not engineering throughput.

/ pain · 053–5% error

Error-prone workflows

Address mistakes, misroutes, missed SLAs, lost labels. Every human hop is a failure surface.

/ pain · 06T+hours

Zero system observability

Exceptions surface when customers call. By then SLA is gone, margin is spent, and root cause is lost.

If one of these feels familiar, the system is already breaking.

Howthesystemworks.

A reference architecture we tailor to your lanes, carriers and SLAs in week one. No black boxes — every layer is inspectable.

01
layer · Ingest

Trigger

Orders enter the system via API, webhook, EDI or event stream. Normalised into one canonical shipment model.

Decision Engine

AI selects optimal carrier on cost, speed, capacity and location. Scored against SLA risk on every route.

Execution Layer

Auto-books shipment with winning carrier. Generates label, customs paperwork, and notifies the warehouse.

These aren't demos. Each is a production pattern we've shipped, instrumented, and handed to operations teams.

WF-01

Order → dispatch → delivery

The core loop. Zero human touches from order entry to POD.

Multi-carrier optimisation

Live scoring across every contracted carrier on price × transit × SLA risk. Cheapest-that-will-arrive wins.

We stopped hiring for dispatch. The system just runs. Peak season used to mean twelve temps — last quarter it meant a dashboard.

Systems,nottools.

Six layers, one spine. Every module talks to every other over one event bus — no CSVs, no zaps, no nightly syncs.

30 min · no pitch · real system insight.

  • 01Map your current dispatch pipeline, end-to-end.
  • 02Identify the three highest-leverage bottlenecks.
  • 03Show what's automatable — and what shouldn't be.
  • 04Leave you with a blueprint. Yours to keep, hire or not.
