# AI agents for freight forwarders and logistics operators.

Industries · Logistics & freight

For freight forwarders and logistics operators, we build agents that check freight bills, chase missing PODs, watch free days and draft customer updates.

## The margin goes in the paperwork, not the freight.

Rates, free days and proof of delivery are all on file somewhere, but nobody has the time to read every page against every job.

### Freight bills nobody rechecks

Carrier bills arrive with surcharges and rate variances. They get paid because checking each one by hand takes longer than the desk has.

### PODs that never come back

Deliveries close without a signed proof of delivery on file. Billing waits, and the dispute arrives months later.

### Detention and demurrage found too late

Free days run out while a container sits at the port or with the consignee. The charge shows up on a statement weeks later.

### Shipment status by phone call

Each customer update means someone checking carrier portals and GPS screens, then typing the same email again.

## Agents we build for a freight team.

Each one reads the paperwork before it writes anything, and anything that touches a bill, a customer or a dispute is drafted for a person to approve.

### Freight bill check against contracted rates

Workflow · As bills arrive

Rechecks each carrier bill against the contracted rate, agreed surcharges and the trip record. Variances go to the finance desk with the evidence. A person decides what to dispute or pay.

Reads: Freight bills, Rate contracts, Transport management system. Delivers to: Spreadsheet, Email.

### Missing PODs before billing stalls

Workflow · Every evening

Checks POD photos for a signature and date, then lists deliveries still missing a valid POD and the jobs that cannot be billed yet. Each branch gets its own list to chase.

Reads: Transport management system, Photos. Delivers to: WhatsApp, Spreadsheet.

### Shipment status and the customer update

Chat · When someone asks

The desk asks where a shipment is and what is holding it. The answer cites carrier tracking, GPS data and job notes, with a customer update drafted for the desk to review and send.

### More agents we build

### Free days and detention watch

Workflow · Every morning

Counts the free days left on each container and warns the operations desk about the ones close to accruing detention or demurrage, with the consignee and shipping line named.

Reads: Port records, Transport management system. Delivers to: WhatsApp, Email.

### Shipping documents read and checked

Workflow · As documents arrive

Reads bills of lading, invoices and packing lists from email, prepares the entry for your transport system and flags any missing dispatch paper before the truck moves. A person confirms each entry.

Reads: Email attachments, Transport management system. Delivers to: Spreadsheet, Web chat.

### The operations digest before the day starts

Workflow · Every morning

One message for the operations head and each branch: shipments in transit, open exceptions, containers close to detention and jobs still unbilled, each with the reason.

Reads: Transport management system, Accounts, Port records. Delivers to: WhatsApp, Email, PDF.

## Begin with the bills you already pay.

Start with the freight bill check. It changes nothing in your books, it works from bills and rate contracts you already hold, and each variance it raises can be checked against the contract. The POD and detention watches build on the same Hub.

- Each variance it raises traces back to a line in the rate contract.
- Wrong charges are caught while they can still be disputed.
- The finance desk reviews exceptions instead of rechecking every bill.
