This isn't a plug-and-play template; it's a tailored engine that scales with your fleet's growth.

No more customers turning to competitors after a silent night.

Clients report 45% reductions in overtime hours during peak seasons like holiday freight rushes, turning support into a profit center rather than a drain.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose 20-30 customer calls nightly during our expansion into same-day parcel deliveries across 10 urban hubs. Now, it handles real-time tracking for our 50-driver fleet using integrated TMS data, and we've seen complaints drop by half in just two months, boosting our OTD rate to 98%."

Maria Gonzalez

Operations Manager, SwiftHaul Last-Mile Deliveries

"Integrating this with our route optimization software was a game-changer for handling peak-hour traffic disruptions. Customers get instant reroute options with ETA recalculations, and our average resolution time went from 45 minutes to under 2 during rush hours. It's like having an extra dispatcher on duty 24/7 for our 200-vehicle fleet."

Raj Patel

Customer Service Lead, MetroLink Intermodal Logistics

"We were skeptical about AI understanding parcel-specific issues like damaged goods claims, but after three weeks live with our WMS integration, it's resolving refund requests autonomously based on POD uploads and carrier liability rules. Support tickets are down 60%, and drivers love the reduced back-and-forth on exception reports."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Customization

We audit your current workflows, from TMS integrations to common pain points like delayed pickups. Then, we blueprint a chatbot tailored to your last-mile operations—no generic setups here.

Step 2

Build and Train the AI

Our engineers code the core system using advanced frameworks, training it on your delivery data for accurate, jargon-savvy responses. Testing ensures it handles scenarios like multi-stop routes without a hitch.

Step 3

Deploy and Optimize

Launch across your channels with full monitoring. We refine based on real interactions, scaling as your volume grows—delivering measurable ROI from day one.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch with custom code, not no-code hacks that break under high-volume deliveries—ensuring your system owns its destiny, free from vendor lock-in.

Deep logistics expertise means we anticipate issues like GPS data syncs, unlike assemblers who slap together superficial tools that ignore industry nuances.

True ownership transfers full control to you, eliminating subscription sprawl and letting your IT team maintain a unified asset that evolves with your routes.

Production-ready scalability handles fleet spikes, from 100 to 1,000 daily packages, without the fragility of templated bots that crash during peaks.

Two-way API depth integrates bidirectionally with your dispatch software, enabling actions like auto-updates—far beyond one-way data pulls from typical agencies.

We focus on measurable outcomes, like 40% faster query resolution, backed by our in-house platforms that have processed millions of logistics interactions.

No fragmented dashboards; we unify everything into a single interface your team actually uses, reducing training time by 50% compared to disjointed tools.

Our frustration-born approach prioritizes reliability over hype, drawing from real-world builds that weathered e-commerce booms without downtime.

Ethical AI training on your data alone ensures compliance with logistics regs like data privacy in cross-border hauls, avoiding generic models' pitfalls.

Ongoing partnership post-launch: we optimize based on your metrics, turning the chatbot into a strategic edge rather than a set-it-and-forget-it expense.

Common Questions

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

We start by mapping your TMS or CRM APIs for seamless two-way data flow. For instance, if you're using something like Onfleet or Route4Me, our engineers build custom connectors to pull live tracking data. The chatbot then queries this in real-time, providing customers with precise ETAs without manual intervention. We've done this for over 30 logistics clients, ensuring zero data silos and full audit trails for compliance. Deployment typically takes 4-6 weeks, with testing phases to verify accuracy during peak loads.

Can it handle complex issues like package disputes or refunds?

Absolutely. Trained on your specific policies, the AI resolves 70% of disputes autonomously—verifying claims against POD images or scan data. For a recent courier client, it processed 150 refund requests weekly, cutting processing time from days to minutes. If needed, it escalates with all context to your team, maintaining a smooth handoff. This not only boosts efficiency but also ensures consistent policy application across your operations, reducing errors in high-volume last-mile scenarios.

What if we have seasonal spikes in delivery volume?

Our architecture is built to scale effortlessly. Using advanced frameworks, it handles surges—like holiday rushes increasing queries 5x—without added costs or slowdowns. One e-commerce delivery partner saw 300% volume jumps during Black Friday; the chatbot absorbed it all, maintaining sub-10-second responses. We monitor performance proactively and auto-scale resources, so your support stays reliable year-round, turning seasonal chaos into a competitive advantage.

Is the chatbot secure for handling sensitive customer data?

Security is non-negotiable in logistics. We encrypt all interactions end-to-end and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, especially for cross-state deliveries. Data stays within your controlled environment—no third-party sharing. For a fleet handling pharmaceuticals, we added HIPAA layers, ensuring zero breaches in two years of operation. Regular audits and role-based access keep everything locked down, giving you peace of mind amid rising cyber threats in supply chains.

How do we measure the chatbot's impact on our business?

We deliver custom dashboards tracking key metrics: resolution rates, response times, CSAT scores, and ROI via reduced support tickets. For example, a mid-sized last-mile firm tracked a 35% drop in after-hours calls within the first quarter, directly tying to higher retention. You own these insights fully, integrated with your KPI tools, so decisions are data-driven. Our team provides quarterly reviews to refine performance, ensuring ongoing alignment with your efficiency goals.

What's the difference between your custom build and off-the-shelf chatbots?

Off-the-shelf options are like generic cargo vans—functional but not fitted for your routes. We engineer a bespoke system understanding logistics specifics, like parsing airway bills or predicting delays from traffic APIs. This custom fit resolves queries 50% faster than templates, as proven in our deployments. You get ownership, not subscriptions, with scalability tailored to your fleet size. It's an investment in a unified tool that evolves with your business, not a rented patch for symptoms.
