Why Choose Us
We craft custom AI models from the ground up, integrating your fleet management data, historical route logs, and external factors like urban traffic patterns. Unlike rigid off-the-shelf tools that force your operations into a box, our solution flexes with your unique last-mile challenges—think e-commerce surges in dense cities or same-day grocery runs. It's built for you, ensuring forecasts align perfectly with driver schedules and depot capacities. Short on time? We deploy in weeks, not months, with seamless ties to your TMS and WMS.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Powers Your Last-Mile Edge
Slash Delivery Delays by 28%
Slash Delivery Delays by 28%: Our predictive models forecast inventory needs tied to route density and dynamic load factors, ensuring drivers never idle waiting for packages. In one case, a mid-sized LTL carrier in Chicago integrated our solution with their WMS, cutting missed deliveries from 15% to under 3% within three months, freeing up 12 straight trucks for additional runs and achieving 98% on-time rates across 50+ urban routes.
Optimize Cash Flow with 35% Less Overstock
Optimize Cash Flow with 35% Less Overstock: By factoring in seasonal ebbs—like post-holiday lulls in parcel volumes—our system prevents excess inventory clogging your depots and satellite hubs. This turns tied-up capital into fuel for fleet expansion, with clients reporting $150K annual savings on holding costs and a 25% reduction in demurrage fees over six months.
Streamline Operations Across Disparate Systems
Streamline Operations Across Disparate Systems: We unify your GPS telematics, EDI order inflows, and supplier ASN feeds into one centralized dashboard. No more siloed data causing forecast errors; expect 50% faster decision-making, as seen in a Seattle-based 3PL firm's shift from weekly manual checks to daily AI-driven insights, reducing route replanning time from 4 hours to 45 minutes per shift.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our holiday forecasting was a nightmare—stockouts hit 22% last Black Friday, delaying line-haul routes across three regional depots and forcing overtime on 40 drivers. Their custom model integrated our TMS and weather APIs, cutting that to 4% this year. We're now handling 15% more volume without adding trucks, saving 200 driver-hours monthly."
Marcus Hale
Operations Director, SwiftRoute Deliveries
"We were drowning in overstock from unpredictable e-commerce spikes in the city, with excess SKUs tying up 25% of our cross-dock space. AIQ built a system that pulls real-time EDI order data and traffic APIs, reducing our excess inventory by 30% in just two months while improving inbound freight accuracy to 97%. It's like having a crystal ball for our warehouse and dispatch teams."
Elena Torres
Supply Chain Manager, UrbanDash Logistics
"Generic tools couldn't handle our variable last-mile routes with gig drivers and dynamic zoning in a metro area spanning 200 square miles. This custom forecast syncs with our routing app and predicts needs down to the zip code, factoring in peak-hour traffic. Saved us $80K in rush orders and penalty fees last quarter—finally, a tool that gets our TMS workflow and SLA pressures."

Fleet Supervisor, MetroHaul Services

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle sudden demand spikes in last-mile delivery?
Our custom AI ingests real-time data from your order systems and external sources like traffic APIs, predicting spikes with 90%+ accuracy. For instance, during Black Friday rushes, it factors in historical patterns from similar events in your city. We train the model on your specific routes, so it anticipates needs for high-density areas. Deployment includes automated alerts to reorder just-in-time, preventing both stockouts and excess. Clients see 25-30% fewer disruptions, and we fine-tune post-launch based on your feedback for ongoing precision.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf inventory software for logistics?
Off-the-shelf tools apply generic algorithms that ignore last-mile nuances, like variable driver availability or urban zoning. We build bespoke models tailored to your workflow—integrating fleet telematics and depot layouts directly. This ensures forecasts align with your SLAs and reduces errors by 40%, per our benchmarks. No forced templates; it's flexible for your scale, from regional carriers to city-focused ops. Plus, you own the system outright, avoiding monthly fees that add up to $10K+ yearly for similar features.
How long does it take to implement custom forecasting for our delivery company?
Typically 4-6 weeks from kickoff to live deployment, depending on data complexity. We start with a quick audit of your existing systems, then build and test the AI in parallel. For a mid-sized last-mile firm, we've gone live in 28 days, including integrations with tools like Route4Me or your custom TMS. Post-launch, we provide training and monitor performance for the first month to hit the ground running. This speed comes from our in-house platforms, which we've optimized for logistics rollouts.
Can this integrate with our existing warehouse and fleet management tools?
Absolutely—our solutions feature deep, bidirectional API integrations with popular logistics software like Manhattan WMS, Samsara GPS, or even proprietary systems. We map your data flows to create a unified view, eliminating manual inputs that cause 15-20% forecast inaccuracies. For example, inventory updates sync automatically with route assignments, ensuring predictions reflect real depots stock. Security is baked in with encrypted connections, and we handle custom adapters if needed, so your operations feel seamless from day one.
What kind of accuracy can we expect in inventory predictions for seasonal deliveries?
Our models achieve 92% accuracy on average for seasonal forecasts, trained on your historical data plus industry benchmarks like Q4 e-commerce surges. We incorporate variables such as promotional calendars and regional events, which generic tools overlook. A client in the Northeast saw their holiday overstock drop 32% after implementation, with predictions adjusting weekly for weather impacts. We include variance reporting so you can trust and refine the outputs, backed by continuous learning to adapt to your evolving routes.
How do you ensure data security for sensitive logistics information?
Security is core to our architecture—we use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with standards like SOC 2 and logistics-specific regs. Access is role-based, so only authorized dispatchers see forecast details. We've audited our systems for vulnerabilities, drawing from our own SaaS deployments handling carrier data. For last-mile firms, this means protecting route plans and inventory against breaches, with regular penetration testing. Clients appreciate the peace of mind, especially with rising cyber threats in supply chains.
