Logistics & Supply Chain
Track shipments, capacity, and costs across carriers, warehouses, and partners, and automate the handoffs that slow operations down.
Use cases
What we solve in logistics
Logistics
A warehouse where robots bring shelves to the picker, a carrier's loading dock, a truck stop, a customer service office, a town on one driver's round, and a terrace.

All 6 use cases in the scene
Picking & slotting
The busiest shelves sit far from the pick station, so every order waits on a long trip.
Pick counts by shelf that send the busiest ones to the places nearest the station.
Load planning & carrier costs
Lorries are booked one order at a time, so several leave part empty for the same region.
Orders planned together by region and weight, so fewer, fuller lorries carry the same goods.
Cold chain monitoring
A cooling unit can stop on a driver's break, and nobody knows until the load is turned away.
Trailer temperatures watched as they happen, with an alert to the driver while the load is safe.
Live shipment tracking
Customers ring to ask where a delivery is, and the office can only ring the driver to find out.
Scans and truck positions joined to every order, so the office and the customer see the same ETA.
Route planning
Rounds are planned by hand in the order drops came in, so they double back and miss times.
Rounds planned from distance and each drop's delivery time, before the truck leaves the depot.
Proof of delivery
A parcel left at the wrong door is marked delivered, and the customer finds out first.
Each delivery scan checked against the customer's address, so a wrong door shows at once.
Common challenges
Where data and process problems usually show up
01
Visibility stops at the edge of each system
Integrating TMS, WMS, carrier, and partner feeds gives a single view of where orders and shipments are.
02
Shipping documents are handled manually
Extracting data from bills of lading, invoices, and proof-of-delivery documents reduces re-keying and speeds up billing.

03
Cost-to-serve is unclear
Allocating freight, handling, and storage costs to customers and lanes shows where margin is lost.
