What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency and Growth in Your Delivery Network
Accelerate Close Rates on High-Volume Contracts
Accelerate Close Rates on High-Volume Contracts: Our AI scores leads by shipment frequency, lane profitability, and geographic fit, helping sales teams close 35% more FTL deals within 60 days. Imagine prioritizing e-commerce giants like Amazon over one-off shippers—your drivers hit backhaul-optimized routes faster, reducing empty miles by up to 25% and improving OTD rates.
Optimize Resource Allocation Across Fleets
Optimize Resource Allocation Across Fleets: Tailored scoring prevents dispatch overload from low-conversion leads, freeing 20 hours weekly per rep for TMS (Transportation Management System) integrations. For last-mile ops, this means tighter route planning via algorithms like Dijkstra's for dynamic rerouting, fewer last-minute changes, and boosting overall fleet utilization to industry-leading 90% with reduced dwell times.
Scale Seamlessly During Peak Seasons
Scale Seamlessly During Peak Seasons: Built for your exact needs with custom data inputs from historical EDI feeds, the system adapts to surges in parcel demand, scoring leads by urgency, volume potential, and carrier capacity. Clients report 28% higher revenue during holidays like Q4 Black Friday rushes, as AI filters out noise and surfaces partners ready for bulk integrations with real-time tracking APIs.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's scoring system, our team was buried under leads from small retailers that never panned out—wasting hours on LTL route quotes that went nowhere, leading to 15% empty miles. After implementation in Q1, we focused on three key e-commerce accounts, landing FTL contracts worth $450K in recurring deliveries over six months. It's like having a co-pilot for our sales fleet, directly tying leads to backhauls."
Marcus Hale
Operations Director, SwiftParcel Logistics
"We run a tight last-mile operation in the Chicago metro area, and mismatched leads were killing our margins with inefficient driver assignments, causing 20% overage in deadhead runs. The custom model they built integrated with our TMS overnight via API, and within two months, our lead-to-contract conversion rate jumped from 15% to 42%. No more chasing shadows—real results with 85% fleet utilization."
Elena Torres
Sales Manager, UrbanHaul Deliveries
"Peak season used to mean chaos: floods of inquiries, half irrelevant for our regional lanes, resulting in 30% dispatch delays. AIQ's lead scoring sorted it all, prioritizing high-volume shippers based on our past TMS data and lane density. Last Black Friday, we added $200K in express parcel business without expanding the fleet, hitting 95% OTD. Solid engineering, no fluff—just scalable integrations."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does custom lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for last-mile delivery?
Standard CRM tools apply blanket filters that ignore logistics specifics, like route feasibility or shipment volume potential, leading to 70% of leads being unqualified pursuits. Our custom AIQ system builds a model from your data—analyzing past deliveries, geographic patterns, and client interactions—to score leads with 85% accuracy tailored to your operations. For instance, it prioritizes e-commerce shippers in dense urban zones over rural one-offs, integrating directly with your TMS to flag high-conversion opportunities. This isn't a plug-in; it's a purpose-built engine that evolves with your fleet, cutting sales cycle times by 30% and ensuring every lead aligns with profitable routes. We've seen delivery firms reclaim 15-20 hours weekly this way.
What data sources does the lead scoring system use in transportation logistics?
We pull from your core systems: TMS for route and delivery history, CRM for lead interactions, GPS feeds for real-time location insights, and even external benchmarks like traffic patterns or e-commerce trends. Unlike generic tools, our model weights factors unique to last-mile ops—such as parcel density or repeat shipment likelihood—to generate scores. For a Chicago-based courier, this meant incorporating weather data to deprioritize leads during storm-prone seasons. The result? A dynamic system that adapts quarterly, boosting conversion rates to 45% while reducing misallocated driver hours. It's all secured with enterprise-grade encryption, ensuring compliance with logistics data standards.
How long does it take to implement custom lead scoring for our delivery business?
From initial consultation to full deployment, expect 4-6 weeks for most SMB last-mile firms. Week one involves auditing your data flows and defining scoring criteria, like prioritizing leads with 50+ weekly parcels. By week three, our engineers prototype the AI model, testing it against historical leads for accuracy. Integration with your existing tools wraps up in the final two weeks, with live monitoring to tweak for peak efficiency. One client, a regional parcel service, went live in 5 weeks and saw immediate 25% uplift in qualified leads. We minimize disruption by staging rollouts, so your sales and dispatch teams train incrementally without halting operations.
Can the system handle seasonal fluctuations in lead volume for last-mile delivery?
Absolutely—our custom models are designed for the ebb and flow of logistics, scaling effortlessly during holiday rushes or off-peak lulls. By training on your seasonal data, it adjusts scoring weights dynamically; for example, elevating urgency for high-volume Black Friday leads while downplaying sporadic ones. A Midwest delivery company using our system managed a 300% lead surge last December, converting 38% more without adding headcount. Features like auto-thresholding and predictive alerts ensure your team focuses on scalable partners, maintaining 90% fleet utilization even under pressure. It's flexible, not rigid, built to mirror your workflow's rhythms.
What kind of ROI can last-mile companies expect from AI lead scoring?
Based on our deployments, expect 3-5x ROI within the first year through higher conversions and efficiency gains. For last-mile ops, this translates to 30-40% faster deal closures, reducing sales costs per lead from $150 to under $90. One firm recovered $120K in lost revenue by avoiding low-yield pursuits, while optimizing routes saved 20% on fuel. We track metrics like lead-to-contract ratio and empty mile reduction, with benchmarks showing 25% overall margin improvement. Unlike subscriptions that drain budgets, our owned system pays off immediately and compounds as your data refines the AI—delivering sustained value without recurring fees.
Is the lead scoring system secure for sensitive logistics data?
Security is paramount in transportation, so we architect with enterprise-grade protocols: end-to-end encryption, role-based access, and compliance with standards like GDPR and SOC 2. Your shipment histories and lead details stay on fortified servers, with audit logs for every access. We've built safeguards against common risks, like data breaches during API handoffs to TMS systems. A client in regulated freight hauling praised our setup for passing their internal audits seamlessly, ensuring no disruptions. Regular vulnerability scans and custom firewalls mean your operations remain protected, even as the AI processes high-velocity data from driver apps and customer inquiries.
