For transport and logistics
Orders come in by email, phone and portal. Someone retypes them into the planning. I let AI do the groundwork and connect your systems, so your planners get round to planning.
Sound familiar?
The planning changes all day. So does the paperwork around it.
Possibilities
Six examples. I build it myself, connected to the systems you already use. More about AI and automation.
AI takes the loading and unloading address, date, quantity and weight from the email or the attachment and prepares an order in your planning. A planner approves it.
What you need A few examples of order emails and your planning system.
New orders reach the planner sorted by region and date. A suggested planning is possible too. The planner decides.
What you need Your planning rules: regions, vehicles and times.
AI recognises a question about a shipment, looks up the status and prepares a reply.
What you need Where statuses are kept and where questions come in.
AI reads a photo or scan of a signed note and adds it to the route. Anything that does not add up goes to an employee.
What you need Your notes and the place they go to now.
Completed routes, with waiting time and surcharges, go to your invoicing as a draft.
What you need Your rates and your accounting software.
One dashboard with routes, utilisation and outstanding invoices from your own systems.
What you need The figures you now keep in spreadsheets.
Is your task not on the list? I build custom software, connected to what you already have.
Principles
AI helps with reading, sorting and writing. Anything that goes to a customer, supplier or your accounts is checked first by someone on your team.
AI can make mistakes, including with numbers. That is why it makes a draft and a colleague checks it. Anything unusual triggers an alert.
I connect to what you already have. I receive no commission from suppliers.
You start with one task that comes back every week. If that works well, you look at the next one.
Your data and the code belong to your business. For each project we sign a data processing agreement.
Questions
Is your question not here? Feel free to call me on +31 6 42 57 52 81.
Often it does, if the system has an API. Whether yours does is something I find out in the analysis. If there is no API, I look at an export or another route.
No. AI prepares the groundwork: orders read and sorted, possibly with a suggestion. The planner knows the drivers and the customers, and decides.
Yes, that often works well. AI can make mistakes, though. That is why I build it so that doubtful cases go to an employee.
The introductory call is free. After that I carry out a paid business analysis; one week is recommended. You then receive a proposal with a fixed price, so you know where you stand beforehand. The cost depends on what I build and how many systems it has to work with. Read how I work
