It handles the operational follow-up around each shipment: collecting status, updating customers, flagging exceptions, booking appointments, chasing PODs and tracking carrier performance. Your team makes the decisions. ### Can AI replace check calls? Mostly. The agent pulls status from carrier portals, ELDs and email, and sends automatic status requests, so people only call when something is actually wrong. ### Does it work with our TMS and WMS? We connect wherever your TMS, WMS and telematics allow — API, exports or email — and keep a person in the loop where they don’t. ### Who is it for? Shippers with logistics teams, 3PLs, freight brokerages and carriers — any growing business whose team spends the day chasing status and paperwork. ### How much of our time does it take to set up? Under 10 hours of your team’s time from audit to go-live. ## See what this would look like for you. A 30-minute call.
