The "Lead Fragmentation" Problem
Leads scattered across ELD apps, TMS dispatch logs, and customer EDI portals, leading to overlooked backhaul opportunities
Manual assignment of LTL delivery inquiries to overloaded route planners, causing delays in consolidating shipments
Delayed follow-ups on urgent same-day delivery requests during peak hours
Inaccurate lead scoring ignoring real-time traffic patterns, weather disruptions, and fleet dwell times
Data silos between CRM systems and telematics GPS tracking, resulting in missed cross-dock upsell opportunities
Overworked sales teams chasing low-priority leads amid surging diesel fuel prices and driver shortage labor costs

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains in Your Delivery Pipeline
Slash Lead Response Time by 70%
Slash Lead Response Time by 70%: In last-mile delivery ops, manual handling via dispatch radios often delays responses by 4+ hours during peak urban congestion, losing bids to agile 3PL competitors. Our AI instantly parses lead details against telematics data on fleet capacity, dispatching accurate quotes in under 2 minutes—driving 25% more won contracts and allowing planners to focus on dynamic rerouting for 15% fuel savings.
Achieve 4x ROI Through Prioritized Lead Flow
Achieve 4x ROI Through Prioritized Lead Flow: In margin-thin freight brokerage, wasted effort on unqualified leads erodes profits amid volatile carrier rates. We deploy predictive scoring ranking prospects by conversion likelihood, factoring package dimensions, HAZMAT restrictions, lane density, and peak-season surges. Clients achieve 300-500% ROI in year one, with sales teams targeting leads that increase average load revenue by 18% and reduce empty miles by 12%.
Save 12-18 Hours Weekly on Administrative Drudgery
Save 12-18 Hours Weekly on Administrative Drudgery: Coordinating leads with dynamic routes amid variable ETAs feels like herding trucks through I-95 bottlenecks. Our system automates assignment and follow-ups, integrating AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) GPS data to suggest optimal driver pairings based on HOS (Hours of Service) compliance. This cuts manual data entry by 80%, enabling ops managers to redirect time to fuel-efficient route optimization and scaling OTR (Over-the-Road) fleet utilization without additional hires.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team drowned in 200+ daily inquiries from Amazon Flex partners, with half going cold due to slow routing to our urban Class 6 fleet during Black Friday rushes. After their lead automation, we're snagging 40% more same-day LTL gigs, and dispatchers avoid those 14-hour shifts. It's like an extra TMS coordinator that handles peak volatility without fatigue."
Marcus Hale
Operations Director, SwiftHaul Deliveries
"We operate a 45-van fleet in the Chicago suburbs, where leads trickled via driver mobile apps and carrier portals without centralized tracking—causing duplicate bids and $8K in lost holiday backhauls last Q4. AIQ's system now auto-scores and assigns via our WMS integration, tying to route optimizer for real-time capacity checks. Over the last quarter, we closed 28% more FTL contracts, saving $12K in manual chase time and cutting deadhead miles by 10%."
Lena Torres
Sales Manager, MetroLink Logistics
"Manual lead management was eroding our 8% margins; we'd burn hours qualifying small-parcel requests unfit for our long-haul reefer focus amid rising reefer fuel surcharges. AIQ's AI filters and nurtures high-value B2B leads, integrating with our TMS for instant dwell-time feasibility checks against ELD data. In Q2 alone, we've lifted revenue by $45K on intermodal loads without expanding our driver pool."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle leads from urgent same-day delivery requests?
Our system is designed for the fast-paced nature of last-mile logistics. It immediately ingests urgent leads via API from your customer portal or phone systems, then uses AI to cross-reference them with real-time fleet availability and traffic data from sources like Google Maps. Within seconds, it scores the lead's feasibility—factoring in driver locations and vehicle capacities—and auto-assigns it to the nearest available team member. This cuts response times from hours to minutes, preventing lost business during peak demand. We've seen clients in urban areas win 30% more same-day contracts this way, all while maintaining your service level agreements without manual intervention.
What makes your lead scoring different for delivery companies?
Unlike generic scoring tools, ours is tuned specifically for transportation challenges. It analyzes not just lead demographics but logistics variables like package dimensions, delivery windows, geographic density, and even fuel cost projections. For instance, a lead for a bulky item in a low-traffic suburb gets prioritized differently than a small parcel in city gridlock. Trained on your past data, the model predicts conversion probability with 85% accuracy, helping you focus on profitable routes. This tailored approach has helped our clients reduce unqualified lead pursuits by 50%, directly boosting margins in an industry where every mile counts.
How long does it take to implement this for our fleet?
Implementation typically spans 4-6 weeks, depending on your current setup's complexity. We start with a one-week discovery to map your lead sources—such as TMS integrations or driver apps—and identify quick wins like automating email follow-ups. The next two weeks involve building and testing the core AI engine, ensuring it syncs flawlessly with tools like your CRM or route planner. Deployment follows with team training and a phased rollout to minimize disruptions during busy seasons. Post-launch, we optimize for two weeks based on live data. This efficient timeline gets you ROI fast, with many clients reporting time savings within the first month.
Can this system integrate with our existing delivery software?
Absolutely—integration is our strength. We create deep, two-way connections with popular logistics platforms like Oracle TMS, Descartes, or even custom in-house systems, pulling in data like real-time ETAs and inventory levels to enrich lead profiles. For example, if a lead comes in via a web form, our AI instantly queries your GPS feed to confirm route availability, then pushes the qualified lead back into your dispatch queue. No more copy-pasting or broken APIs. Our engineers handle the heavy lifting, ensuring 99.9% uptime and data accuracy, so your operations run smoother without the integration headaches that plague fragmented setups.
What kind of ROI can we expect from this automation?
In last-mile delivery, ROI is tangible and swift. Clients typically see a 300-500% return within the first year by converting more leads into revenue-generating routes while cutting manual overhead. For a mid-sized fleet handling 1,000 leads monthly, that's often $40,000-$60,000 in added annual revenue from faster closures, plus $25,000 saved in labor by eliminating 15 hours of weekly admin per dispatcher. We base projections on your specifics during consultation, using benchmarks like a 35% uplift in lead-to-contract rates. Long-term, it scales with your growth, optimizing for efficiency gains that compound as your fleet expands.
Is the system secure for handling customer delivery data?
Security is non-negotiable in logistics, where leads often include sensitive details like addresses and order specs. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and industry standards like those from the TIA. Data is stored in SOC 2-certified clouds, with role-based access ensuring only authorized dispatchers see relevant info. Our AI processes leads without exposing PII unnecessarily, and we include audit logs for every action. In past deployments, we've fortified systems against common threats like phishing in driver communications, giving you peace of mind while keeping your operations agile and protected.
