Identifying the Key Problems

Visulaization of the logistics processes

After conducting numerous interviews with various players in the logistics market, ranging from large enterprises to smaller firms, we found that data handling lies at the heart of most challenges. Logistics professionals deal with a constant influx of quotes, orders, and offers, pulling information from multiple sources. While some data can be integrated with existing company systems (ERP, FMS, etc.), most analysis and processing still rely heavily on manual methods, even when digital platforms are used.

Recent research underscores these challenges:

  • 43% of companies depend on spreadsheets or email for critical supply chain operations.
  • 30% of logistics staff hours are consumed by manual planning and communication.

These obstacles are difficult for traditional automated systems to overcome because every company's situation is unique. Custom solutions have historically been expensive and time-consuming to develop.

How an AI Agentic Approach Can Help

An AI Vertical Agent offers a breakthrough by providing flexible planning, decision-making, and automated data retrieval. Rather than forcing one-size-fits-all solutions, an AI agent can learn and adapt to the specific workflows and needs of individual companies without the prohibitive cost of building a bespoke automation tool from scratch.
