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 free-form content, including the customer’s own product names and attached PDF documents
  • Matching of each line to the catalogue, with a confidence level per line, in catalogues that can reach tens of thousands of items
  • Customer validation, stock check and price calculation according to the organisation’s rules
  • Registration of the order in the ERP and issuing of the delivery note
  • Cases held for validation, with the reason identified and the resolution options appropriate to each reason
  • Automatic request to the customer for the missing data, when that is what is blocking registration
  • Learning from the teams’ corrections, with pattern recognition per customer
  • 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 registered, with the expected delivery date
  • A link-access page where the customer reviews the request, confirms the address, adjusts quantities and approves
  • 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.
