Plan, execute, and optimize freight with autonomous, policy‑aware agents
Reduce cost‑to‑serve, improve OTIF, and shrink empty miles. Our agents learn from every load while keeping decisions explainable and guardrailed.
Executive Summary
Transportation networks are more volatile than ever—capacity swings, weather and traffic disruptions, port congestion, compliance changes, and higher sustainability expectations. Traditional TMS + manual intervention can’t keep up. Our agentic AI augments your TMS with autonomous, guardrailed agents that predict, decide, act, and explain across planning, tendering, routing, execution, exceptions, freight audit & payment, and claims—delivering lower freight cost, higher service reliability, and a greener, more resilient network.
Why Now (CPG & Retail Context)
- Promotion & seasonal spikes: Rapid volume swings and lane volatility stress capacity and service.
- Omnichannel complexity: DC, store, marketplace, and DTC flows with tighter appointment windows.
- Carrier fragmentation: Long‑tail partners, variable acceptance, and inconsistent status visibility.
- Shrink & dwell: Dwell, detention, and fines erode margins; appointment adherence is critical.
- Sustainability: Emissions targets require smarter consolidation, modal shift, and reporting.

Pain Points → Agentic AI Solutions
Unreliable ETAs → ETA Engine
Fuses traffic, weather, and stop history to predict risk and trigger recovery.
Detention & Dwell → Appointment Agent
Negotiates slots, sequences stops, and reduces wait time and fines.
Low Tender Acceptance → Tender Optimizer
Balances primary/backup awards with acceptance propensity modeling.
High Empty Miles → Load Builder
Finds backhauls and continuous moves within constraints.
Invoice Errors → Freight Audit Agent
Auto‑validates, flags anomalies, and assembles evidence for disputes.
Claims Backlog → Claims Triage
Clusters root causes, packages evidence, and proposes settlement paths.
Carbon Targets → Emissions Optimizer
Models modal shift, consolidation, and routing to cut CO₂e.
Outcomes & KPIs We Target
- ↓ Transportation cost per shipment / per cwt
- ↑ OTIF & on‑time pickup
- ↓ Empty miles / ↑ trailer utilization
- ↓ Detention & dwell minutes
- ↑ Tender acceptance; ↓ spot reliance
- ↓ Claims rate and cycle time
- ↓ CO₂e per ton‑km

Implementation Approach
🔍 Assess → Align
Map lanes, constraints, carrier mix, and KPIs; identify quick‑win lanes and exception hotspots.
🛡️ Design → Guardrail
Target architecture, guardrails, and integration plan; define pilot scope and value hypotheses.
✅ Pilot → Prove
8–12 week lane/category pilot with success criteria (OTIF, cost/ship, dwell, spot %).
8–12 weeks🚀 Scale → Operate
Expand to additional regions/modes, enable dashboards, embed change management and training.
Security, Risk & Compliance
- Data protection: Encryption in transit/at rest; strict RBAC and least‑privilege access.
- Operational controls: Audit trails for carrier awards, reroutes, and payments.
- Model governance: Versioning, drift monitoring, human override, and explainability.
- Regulatory alignment: Hours‑of‑Service awareness where applicable; retention & evidence for disputes.
FAQs
How do you integrate with our TMS and carriers?
Pre‑built connectors and EDI/API bridges; we align to your master data and security model.
Do you replace our TMS?
No. We augment your TMS with agentic capabilities and control‑tower visibility.
What data do you need to start?
Recent shipment history, carrier contracts/rates, lane calendars, appointment policies, and status events.
How is ROI measured?
Baseline KPIs (cost/ship, OTIF, dwell, empty miles, spot %) with tracked deltas across pilot and scale‑out.
