Why Choose Us
Picture your appointment booking like a well-oiled conveyor belt in a distribution center – no jams, just smooth flow. At AIQ Labs, we craft bespoke AI systems that integrate directly with your TMS and CRM, automating everything from customer self-scheduling to real-time driver notifications. No more piecing together off-the-shelf apps that break under pressure. We build enterprise-grade automation from the ground up, tailored to your exact routes, fleet size, and peak delivery windows. This isn't a one-size-fits-all tool; it's a custom engine designed to handle the unpredictability of urban last-mile demands, ensuring every slot optimizes your operational tempo.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Efficiency Gains in Your Last-Mile Operations
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Scheduling
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Scheduling: Dispatch teams waste precious time chasing confirmations and rescheduling via fragmented TMS platforms. Our automation integrates with your existing Transportation Management System (TMS) to handle dynamic slotting, freeing staff for route optimization. Industry benchmarks from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) show last-mile firms regain 15-20 hours per week, translating to a 25% productivity boost and up to 12% fuel savings from reduced deadhead miles in tighter schedules.
Achieve 3-Month ROI Through Cost Reductions
Achieve 3-Month ROI Through Cost Reductions: Manual errors in booking confirmations cost logistics ops $50K+ annually in rework, delays, and carrier penalties. By automating bookings with predictive AI that analyzes historical load data, we cut no-shows by 40% and idle engine time by 30%, delivering ROI in under 90 days. Scaled fleets in urban distribution report 18% lower operational costs, including slashed detention fees and optimized backhaul utilization.
Elevate On-Time Delivery to 98% Reliability
Elevate On-Time Delivery to 98% Reliability: In last-mile logistics, every minute counts – delays erode customer trust and trigger service level agreement (SLA) breaches. Our system syncs appointments with real-time traffic data from GPS telematics, boosting on-time rates to an industry-leading 98%. This isn't just efficiency; it's a competitive edge that turns one-time deliveries into loyal repeat business, with repeat order rates increasing by 22% per ATA studies.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our dispatchers were buried in calls every afternoon rush, leading to at least two double-bookings a day, frustrated drivers running deadhead miles, and overtime spikes. After implementing their custom booking system integrated with our TMS, we've cut those errors to zero, saved about 12 hours a week on manual confirmations, 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 and optimizes routes in real-time."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Manager, UrbanSwift Last-Mile Delivery
"We handle 500+ daily packages in a dense metro area with tight delivery windows, and manual scheduling was killing our margins with constant reschedules and no-show penalties. AIQ built this right into our TMS, and now customers book via text with AI-suggested routes factoring in traffic and load capacities. We dropped our no-show rate from 15% to 4%, reduced idle time by 25%, and the team actually gets lunch breaks now. Solid ROI within the first quarter, with 15% lower fuel costs."
Raj Patel
Fleet Operations Director, MetroHaul Urban Logistics
"Peak seasons were chaos for our 50-truck fleet – overloads meant overtime pay spiking 30% and drivers stuck in detention at customer sites. Their AI automation predicts conflicts using telematics data and auto-adjusts slots based on our fleet availability and ETAs. We've reduced overtime by half, cut detention fees by 35%, and improved driver satisfaction scores from 3.2 to 4.5 out of 5. It's not hype; it's transformed how we manage last-mile chaos during holiday surges."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with our existing TMS like Oracle or Manhattan Associates?
We start by auditing your current TMS setup to ensure compatibility, then develop custom two-way API connections that pull in real-time data like available driver slots and route constraints. For instance, in a recent project with a mid-sized fleet, we synced appointments directly into Manhattan, eliminating manual exports and cutting data entry time by 18 hours weekly. Our approach uses secure, scalable frameworks to handle high-volume updates without disrupting operations, and we provide full testing to confirm seamless performance during peak delivery hours.
What kind of time savings can we expect in a typical last-mile operation?
Based on our deployments, last-mile companies see 12-20 hours saved per week by automating inbound calls, confirmations, and rescheduling. Take a client with 200 daily deliveries: manual booking ate up 25% of dispatch time, but our AI shifted that to self-service, boosting productivity by 35% and reducing errors that previously cost $2K monthly in fuel waste. Savings scale with volume, and we tailor the system to your workflow for maximum impact, often hitting ROI in 2-3 months through lower overtime and higher on-time rates.
Is the system customizable for our specific delivery zones and fleet constraints?
Absolutely – we design it around your exact needs, like urban zones with narrow windows or rural routes with variable ETAs. For a Chicago-based firm, we incorporated geofencing to restrict bookings to feasible areas, integrating with their GPS trackers to auto-adjust for traffic. This custom build ensures the AI learns your patterns, preventing overbookings in high-density areas and optimizing for fleet capacity, all while maintaining a user-friendly interface for customers and drivers alike.
How secure is the customer data handled in the booking process?
Security is paramount in logistics, so we implement enterprise-grade encryption for all data, including addresses and preferences, compliant with GDPR and CCPA standards. Our systems use role-based access and audit logs to track interactions, much like in our RecoverlyAI platform for regulated voice agents. In one deployment, we secured sensitive delivery info for a 300-truck fleet, reducing breach risks to near zero while enabling features like automated address verification to prevent errors.
What support do you provide after the initial setup?
Post-launch, we offer ongoing optimization with a dedicated account lead monitoring key metrics like booking completion rates and system uptime. For a recent client, we refined the AI after the first month to better handle holiday surges, improving efficiency by another 15%. This includes quarterly reviews, unlimited bug fixes, and scalability upgrades as your fleet grows – ensuring the system evolves with your business, not just a one-off install.
Can this handle high-volume peaks, like during e-commerce sales events?
Yes, our architecture is built for scalability, handling spikes up to 5x normal volume without lag. We use cloud-based processing with load balancing, proven in our AGC Studio platform managing 70+ AI agents for real-time tasks. A Black Friday deployment for a partner saw 1,200 bookings in 24 hours, maintaining 99% accuracy and preventing the overloads that typically double dispatch costs during peaks.
