Never Miss a Delivery Lead

Never Miss a Delivery Lead: With 24/7 availability, your chatbot captures inquiries about express shipping or same-day options around the clock. In logistics, where 65% of leads for LTL and FTL services come after 5 PM, this means securing an extra 25% in bookings annually—such as converting 150 weekly after-hours queries into confirmed loads—directly fueling revenue growth without expanding your call center.

Boost Customer Satisfaction Scores

Boost Customer Satisfaction Scores: Instant replies to status checks or delay notifications prevent frustration. Courier firms using our systems report CSAT jumping from 72% to 94% within six months, as customers feel supported like a dedicated fleet manager—always on, always accurate with real-time ETA updates—turning one-time shippers into loyal accounts with 40% higher retention.

Slash Operational Costs Overnight

Slash Operational Costs Overnight: Automate 80% of routine queries like shipment milestones and POD confirmations, freeing dispatchers for route optimization. For a mid-sized courier handling 500 daily parcels, this translates to saving 15 hours weekly on support tasks, reducing overtime by 30% during peak seasons like Q4 holidays while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend inquiries on package reroutes—customers just went elsewhere, costing us 20% in seasonal revenue. Now, it's handling 200+ chats daily, pulling live GPS data from our TMS, and our repeat business for urban same-day deliveries is up 35% in three months. Game-changer for our fleet's on-time performance."

Marcus Hale

Operations Director, SwiftLink Couriers (Specializing in Urban Last-Mile Delivery)

"Integrated this with our TMS last quarter, and after-hours complaints about route deviations dropped from 50 to under 10 a week. The AI even verifies PODs instantly against ELD logs, saving us hours on carrier disputes. Our team's finally focused on scaling cross-dock routes instead of phone duty, boosting efficiency by 28%."

Elena Vasquez

Customer Service Lead, MetroHaul Logistics (Midwest Regional Freight Hauler)

"We were bleeding leads during holidays with no night support for tracking high-value freight. This custom bot responds in seconds to queries on bill of lading status, and escalation to our dispatch team is seamless via API. Cut our support costs by 40% while keeping drivers happy—no more manual follow-ups on 300+ daily manifests."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Workflow Mapping

We audit your courier operations, from route tracking to customer touchpoints, to design a chatbot that mirrors your exact processes.

Step 2

Custom AI Build and Integration

Our engineers code your agent with TMS APIs and train it on logistics data, ensuring 24/7 readiness for real-world scenarios like delays or redirects.

Step 3

Testing, Launch, and Optimization

Rigorous simulations on peak loads precede go-live, followed by ongoing tweaks based on your usage—delivering a scalable, owned system.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch using advanced frameworks, not no-code templates, ensuring your chatbot scales with fleet growth without breaking under high-volume shipments.

True ownership means no subscription traps—your AI is a proprietary asset, integrated deeply into logistics tools for unbreakable reliability.

Our multi-agent architecture anticipates query complexity, like combining tracking with claims, unlike single-threaded bots that falter in dynamic routes.

Logistics-specific training data prevents generic responses, delivering authoritative advice on SLAs and compliance that generic tools can't match.

We prioritize efficiency metrics, reducing query resolution by 70% through custom automations, freeing your team for strategic dispatch decisions.

Unlike assemblers of off-the-shelf parts, we engineer end-to-end systems with unified dashboards, eliminating the chaos of disconnected support apps.

Our proven track record in regulated transport ensures HIPAA-level security for sensitive shipment data, a must for cross-border couriers.

Focus on measurable ROI: clients see 50% faster lead capture, directly tied to logistics benchmarks like on-time delivery rates.

We avoid brittle integrations by coding two-way APIs that sync in real-time with GPS and inventory, preventing data silos in fast-moving operations.

As builders with our own SaaS platforms, we deliver production-ready solutions that evolve with your business, not lock you into vendor dependencies.

Common Questions

How does the chatbot integrate with our existing tracking management system?

We start by mapping your TMS APIs, like those from platforms such as Descartes or Oracle Transportation, to enable real-time data pulls. Our custom code creates secure, two-way connections that fetch live shipment statuses without manual intervention. For a typical courier, this means the bot can respond to 'Where's my package?' with exact ETAs in seconds. We've done this for fleets of 100+ vehicles, ensuring zero downtime during integrations. Post-launch, we monitor for any sync issues and optimize based on your route data volumes, typically completing setup in 4-6 weeks.

Can the chatbot handle high-volume inquiries during peak seasons?

Absolutely. Our enterprise-grade architecture scales to handle 1,000+ concurrent chats, drawing from our experience with holiday rushes where inquiries spike 300%. The AI uses load-balanced servers and predictive queuing to prioritize urgent queries like delays. Unlike generic bots, it's trained on logistics patterns to deflect 75% of routine asks autonomously. For one client, this kept response times under 10 seconds during Black Friday, preventing backlog and maintaining 98% customer satisfaction. We include stress-testing in every build to match your busiest routes.

What happens when a query is too complex for the AI to handle?

The system is designed with intelligent handoff logic, recognizing when a query needs human input—like detailed claims or custom routing. It seamlessly transfers the conversation to your support queue with full context, including chat history and shipment details, via integrated Slack or email alerts. This ensures no leads are lost; escalation rates are typically under 20%. In practice, for a regional courier we supported, this reduced resolution times for escalated cases by 40%, as agents start informed rather than from scratch. We customize thresholds based on your SLAs.

Is the chatbot secure for handling sensitive shipment information?

Security is paramount in logistics. We build with end-to-end encryption, role-based access, and compliance to standards like SOC 2 and transport-specific regs such as C-TPAT. Customer data, like addresses or POD images, is anonymized and stored only as needed for queries. Our audits have passed reviews for international couriers dealing with hazardous goods. Features include audit logs for every interaction, ensuring traceability. One partner reported zero breaches in two years of use, even during high-risk cross-border ops, giving them peace of mind while scaling.

How much customization is involved, and what's the timeline?

Every solution is tailored to your courier workflows—no templates here. We customize responses for your branding, integrate with specific tools like your CRM or fleet software, and train on your historical data for accurate logistics advice. Timeline: 2 weeks for discovery, 4-6 for build and testing, and 1 for launch—total 7-9 weeks for full deployment. For a small fleet, we fast-tracked to 5 weeks. Post-launch, we provide a handover with your team owning the code, plus optional maintenance to adapt to new routes or regulations.

Will this reduce our need for additional support staff?

Yes, significantly. By automating 70-80% of standard inquiries—like tracking or basic reschedules— it frees staff for high-value tasks such as optimizing loads or handling disputes. A mid-sized courier client cut their support headcount by two FTEs after implementation, saving $120K annually, while response quality improved. The AI's 24/7 coverage eliminates overtime for nights and weekends, but we design it to augment, not replace, your team—ensuring personal touch where it counts, like in relationship-building with key clients.
