Logistics Process Automation

From order to delivery, without failures.

Orders

Orders arrive in free-form text and do not always identify products by the company’s own part numbers. Transcribing each line by hand is slow, and one wrong reference propagates through the whole downstream operation.

What we automate
  • Receipt of requests in the email inboxes, with automatic triage and categorisation
  • Interpretation of the request in free text and in the text of PDF attachments
  • Identification of the item requested, with its confidence level, and confirmation with the customer when in doubt
  • Customer validation in the ERP, stock check, and total and shipping calculated according to the organisation's rules
  • Order recorded in the ERP, with the order number in the reply to the customer
  • Cases held for validation, with the reason written down and the decision taken in the case itself
  • Automatic request to the customer for the missing data, when that is what is blocking registration
  • Learning from the teams' corrections, remembering who each customer is and with instructions for recurring mistakes
  • Configurable degree of automation, set by the organisation and adjustable over time

Orders registered in minutes, with no manual transcription and no reference errors.

Transport and delivery

Coordinating delivery date, transport and paperwork involves several people and several systems, and one missing document is enough to stop the shipment.

What we automate
  • Assignment of a delivery date and transport to each registered order
  • Automatic alerts when a delivery is at risk of running late
  • Issuing of the delivery note and the documents that travel with the goods
  • Warehouse picking, with confirmation once the order is ready
  • Real-time visibility of the status of each order

Deliveries coordinated and documented, with full visibility over every shipment.

Customer communication

A customer who does not know where the order is picks up the phone. Every answer costs someone time and interrupts work that was under way.

What we automate
  • Automatic confirmation that the order has been recorded, with its number, in reply to the customer's email
  • A link-access page where the customer confirms or corrects the item and quantity the agent read
  • Notice when the order is picked and on its way
  • Automatic answers to the customer’s questions about the order, drawn from the process data
  • Notifications by email or WhatsApp, according to each customer’s channel

The customer informed at every step, without anyone having to answer the phone.
