The "After-Hours Inquiry" Problem
Freight brokers placing urgent load tenders after shift end, with inquiries lost to voicemail and risking empty backhauls
Truck drivers requesting real-time load status or detention updates during off-peak hours, causing costly rerouting and demurrage fees
Missed confirmations for incoming pallet shipments from suppliers, resulting in inventory mismatches and slotting errors in the warehouse
Unresolved carrier complaints about accessorial charges or layover pay overnight, eroding partnerships in a non-stop supply chain
Peak-season overflow calls during dock loading rushes, leading to missed backhaul opportunities and underutilized trailer capacity
After-hours spot rate quote requests from shippers, forfeiting competitive bids in volatile spot market fluctuations

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Efficiency: Key Advantages for Your Warehouse
Never Miss a Lead in the 24/7 Logistics Cycle
Never Miss a Lead in the 24/7 Logistics Cycle: Our AI agents capture every inbound call for load tenders, even during night shifts or holiday peaks, converting 25% more inquiries into booked loads compared to traditional answering services—such as securing $50,000 in additional backhaul revenue quarterly for mid-sized brokers. This means capturing backhaul opportunities that would otherwise route to competitors.
Instant Responses Boost Carrier and Shipper Satisfaction
Instant Responses Boost Carrier and Shipper Satisfaction: Provide immediate answers to status checks for ETAs, detention billing, and scheduling requests, reducing hold times to zero and improving Net Promoter Scores by up to 35%. In warehousing, where delays cost $500 per hour in demurrage on average, this keeps your operations humming like a well-oiled conveyor belt, preventing $10,000+ daily losses during peak seasons.
Eliminate After-Hours Gaps Without Staffing Overhead
Eliminate After-Hours Gaps Without Staffing Overhead: Handle routine inquiries like rate quotes and carrier check-ins autonomously, freeing your team for high-value tasks like contract negotiations and cutting call center costs by 60%. For logistics firms, this translates to capturing every opportunity in a market where 70% of spot market deals happen outside 9-5 hours, adding 15-20% to annual throughput without extra hires.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agents, we'd lose half our evening calls from drivers checking ETAs on cross-dock loads, leading to constant rescheduling headaches and $2,000 in weekly detention fees. Now, responses are instant, and our on-time delivery rate jumped from 82% to 96% in just two months. It's like having an extra dispatcher who never sleeps."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Solutions Inc.
"Integrating their AI with our WMS was seamless for handling pallet receipt confirmations. During last quarter's holiday surge, we handled 40% more calls without adding staff, and our lead conversion for new shipper contracts increased by 22%, turning voicemail black holes into qualified LTL opportunities right away."
Tom Reilly
Warehouse Director, East Coast Intermodal Partners LLC
"We were skeptical about AI handling nuanced spot rate negotiations for reefer loads, but their custom training nailed it. After deployment, after-hours quote requests turned into confirmed bookings 28% faster, saving us from losing bids to quicker rivals and adding $75,000 in Q4 revenue. Solid work from a team that gets reefer distribution inside out."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent integrate with our existing warehouse management system?
We start by mapping your WMS APIs, whether it's Manhattan or SAP, to enable real-time data pulls for things like inventory levels or ETAs. Our custom integration layer ensures the agent can query and update records during calls—say, confirming pallet availability for a driver. This setup typically takes 2-4 weeks, with full testing to avoid disruptions. Unlike plug-and-play tools, our approach creates a robust, two-way connection that handles high-volume queries without latency, proven in environments processing 1,000+ daily calls. You'll own this integration, scalable as your warehouse grows.
Can the AI handle complex logistics queries, like rate negotiations or HAZMAT compliance?
Absolutely. We train the agents on your specific rate sheets, routing guidelines, and regulatory protocols, using advanced NLP to parse nuanced requests. For instance, it can quote spot rates based on lane and weight or verify HAZMAT docs against DOT standards. In testing with similar clients, accuracy hit 95% for these interactions. The system escalates edge cases—like disputed claims—to your team with a full call summary. This isn't generic voice AI; it's built for the precision warehousing demands, reducing errors that could cost thousands in fines or delays.
What happens if the AI can't resolve a call—does it just hang up?
No way. Our agents are designed with intelligent escalation: if confidence drops below 90% on a query, say about a disputed invoice, it seamlessly transfers to your on-call staff with transcribed context and key details pre-loaded in their dashboard. We've seen this cut resolution times by 50% in logistics setups. Plus, post-call summaries log everything for follow-up, ensuring nothing falls through. This hybrid model keeps your 24/7 coverage robust while leveraging human expertise where it counts most, like building carrier relationships.
How secure is the AI voice agent for handling sensitive shipment data?
Security is paramount in logistics. We deploy end-to-end encryption for all calls, compliant with GDPR and HIPAA where applicable, plus SOC 2 standards. Voice data is anonymized and stored only as long as needed for audits, with access controls tied to your roles. For warehousing, this means protecting details like customer manifests or carrier IDs from breaches. Our in-house RecoverlyAI platform, used in regulated collections, has zero incidents over three years. We also provide regular penetration testing, giving you peace of mind in an industry where data leaks can halt operations overnight.
What's the setup time and cost for a custom AI voice agent in our warehouse?
Setup typically spans 4-6 weeks: week one for discovery, two-three for building and integrating, and the rest for testing and launch. Costs start at $15,000 for a base warehouse deployment, scaling with features like multi-site support—far below maintaining a 24/7 call center at $50K+ annually. ROI kicks in fast; clients report 3x return in the first year through captured leads and efficiency gains. Since we build custom, pricing fits your volume—say, 500 calls/month—and includes ownership, no recurring fees beyond optional maintenance.
Will the AI voice agent work with our international carriers who call in different languages?
Yes, we incorporate multilingual capabilities, supporting up to five languages like Spanish, Mandarin, or French, trained on logistics-specific vocabulary. For a warehouse dealing with cross-border freight, the agent detects language on pickup and responds accordingly—handling queries on customs clearance or international rates. Accuracy is 92% in mixed-language tests. We customize based on your carrier base, integrating with translation APIs only where needed to keep responses natural. This ensures global operations stay efficient, capturing opportunities from overseas shippers without translation delays.
