Logistics and freight: on time, in hand.

How I use AI here

  1. AI reads each request, drafts the quote and books the next leg.
  2. Status updates go out to the customer without anyone chasing them.
  3. A person signs off on every price and every exception.

How it runs

I move time-critical and cross-border freight: parts, pallets and urgent loads that have to arrive on a set day. Behind it runs a dispatch system where AI agents read every request, price the lane, book the truck or the flight and keep the shipper posted at every stop, while a person signs off on every price and every exception.

Where a person decides

A person signs off on every price, every routing change and every exception. Customs paperwork and dangerous goods are checked by people who handle them every day.

How it runsOne shipment, request to proof of delivery8 steps7 agents
  1. Front door agentAI front desk

    Reads the request from a call, an email or the form: what it is, how many pieces, from where, by when.

  2. Your OSControl room

  3. Quote agentQuoting

    Prices it from the rate sheet and the lanes, with the landed cost for an import.

  4. A personYour yes

    Checks the price and the route, then the quote goes out.

  5. Scheduling agentAI agents

    Books the carrier and the pickup window, and lines up the next leg before the first one lands.

  6. Follow-up agentFollow-up

    Texts the shipper where the load is at every stop, and flags a delay while there is still time to act.

  7. Payments agentPayment checks

    Sends the invoice with the proof of delivery attached.

  8. Brief agentMorning brief

    Opens the morning with every load in motion and every one running late.

What gets built?

Time-critical logistics and freight: parts, samples and originals on the next departure, and cross-border goods priced to their landed cost before they ship. It is for plants, distributors, MRO shops, forwarders and labs, where late costs more than the ticket.

In plain wordsWhat is landed cost?

Landed cost is what an import really costs once it reaches your door: the goods, the freight, the duty, the insurance and the fees. It is the number to price from, because the factory price leaves most of it out.

  1. In Hand. Parts, samples and originals on the next departure, attended from pickup to signature. No warehouse, no re-sort, no strangers in the chain.

  2. Cross-border commerce. Sourcing at origin, landed cost priced before it ships, entry, fulfillment and the last mile, north and south.

  3. Every box pays duty now. Price it before it ships.

  4. Proof after every job: time, signature, photo and the temperature curve, in one report.

  5. The part and its paperwork travel together. Export-controlled items get a license check before I quote.

Who is it for?

  • PlantLine down? The part is already moving. Line up? A public buyer may want what you make.
  • DistributorQuotes out the same day and stock that lands on time. Primes need a supplier too.
  • MRO shopA tail is grounded. The part moves tonight, with its paperwork.
  • ForwarderHands on this side, the next departure, and paperwork that travels with the box.
  • LabSamples on the clock, the curve and the custody signed.
  • StorefrontSell more of it, get paid in two markets, land it at the door.

Questions owners ask

How fast can a part move?

It depends on the clock: the ready time, the must-land time and what it is. Send those three and you get the plan and the price before anything moves.

What is landed cost?

What an import really costs at your door: the goods, the freight, the duty and the fees. Every box pays duty now, so price it before it ships.

What proof do I get after a job?

One report with the time, the signature and a photo, plus the temperature curve when the cargo needs one.

Can you move export-controlled parts?

The part and its paperwork travel together. Export-controlled items get a license check before I quote.

Do you handle cross-border sourcing?

Yes, on the same chain at a slower clock: sourcing at origin, landed cost priced before it ships, entry, fulfillment and the last mile, north and south.
