Our Tailored Lead Scoring Solution for Warehousing
With over a decade of experience building AI systems for logistics operations, we've empowered 50+ SMBs to transform chaotic lead pipelines into efficient, revenue-generating engines.
Why Choose Us
One-size-fits-all tools fail in warehousing because they ignore the nuances of inventory turnover rates and carrier partnerships. We build a custom AI lead scoring system from the ground up, trained on your historical data like past contract values and lead source efficacy. This isn't a template—it's engineered for your exact workflow, integrating seamlessly with your TMS or WMS to score leads in real-time. Short on time? We handle the heavy lifting. The result: a flexible model that adapts as your operations scale, delivering enterprise-grade precision without the subscription bloat.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency and Revenue in Your Operations
Prioritize High-Value Shipper Leads
Prioritize High-Value Shipper Leads: Our system scores prospects based on predicted contract size, lane density, and alignment with your warehouse capacity for dry van or intermodal loads, reducing time spent on dead-end inquiries by 50%. Logistics teams report closing deals 25% faster—within 48 hours—turning more leads into booked storage slots without added headcount, especially for high-volume routes like Midwest-to-Coast corridors.
Optimize Sales Resources for Peak Seasons
Optimize Sales Resources for Peak Seasons: During holiday surges, when lead volume spikes 300% for e-commerce fulfillment, our AI filters for urgent needs like cold chain storage or oversized freight, ensuring your reps focus on conversions that maximize throughput. Clients see a 40% uplift in dock utilization rates and a 20% reduction in empty miles, directly impacting bottom-line efficiency over Q4 periods.
Reduce Manual Review and Errors in Lead Handling
Reduce Manual Review and Errors in Lead Handling: Automate scoring of inbound RFQs from carriers for flatbed or refrigerated loads, flagging mismatches in load types, origin-destination pairs, or equipment availability early. This cuts error rates in proposal prep by 60%, allowing your team to handle 2x more opportunities—up to 150 RFQs per week—while maintaining accuracy in dynamic supply chain environments with real-time ETAs.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under leads from every trade show, many irrelevant to our Midwest distribution focus on LTL shipments under 10,000 lbs. Their custom scoring now ranks prospects by historical lane volume and drayage needs, and we've doubled our booked capacity—from 70% to 100% utilization—in just six months. It's like having an extra dispatcher for sales, especially during peak backhauls."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Director, Central Freight Warehousing (Specializing in Midwest LTL Distribution)
"We deal with volatile perishable goods leads, like fresh produce with 24-hour transit deadlines, and generic tools couldn't keep up. AIQ's system integrates our inventory data from the WMS to score for urgency based on spoilage risk and reefer availability, helping us secure 15% more contracts—adding $2.5M in annual revenue—last quarter without expanding the sales staff."
Tom Reilly
Sales Manager, AgriLogistics Storage (Focused on Temperature-Controlled Produce Facilities)
"The integration with our WMS and TMS was seamless, and the AI learned our patterns for intermodal handoffs quickly. Lead response times dropped from days to under 4 hours, resulting in a 30% revenue bump from better-qualified broker partnerships on Pacific Coast routes—no more chasing ghosts on mismatched container loads."
Lisa Chen
VP of Business Development, Pacific Hub Logistics (West Coast Intermodal Specialists)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring handle seasonal fluctuations in warehousing demand?
In transportation and logistics, peaks like Black Friday can flood your pipeline with variable-quality leads. Our custom AI model incorporates seasonality data from your past operations, scoring higher for prospects needing short-term overflow space during surges. We train it on your specific patterns—say, a 200% volume spike in Q4—adjusting weights dynamically. This ensures reps chase leads that align with your available racking, not just volume. Clients typically see a 30% improvement in seasonal close rates within the first quarter, with the system self-optimizing based on post-peak feedback. No more generic calendars; it's built for your cycle.
What data sources does the system use for accurate scoring in logistics?
We pull from your internal goldmines: TMS records for shipment histories, WMS for capacity metrics, and CRM notes on past interactions. Externally, it enriches with public carrier data and regional freight indices, but only what's relevant to warehousing—like proximity to railheads or port access. Unlike broad tools, ours avoids noise by focusing on logistics signals, such as pallet types or dwell times. Setup involves a quick data audit, and we ensure GDPR-compliant handling. The result? Scores that predict 85-95% of high-value conversions, tailored to your operation's unique bottlenecks like cross-dock efficiency.
Can this integrate with our existing transportation management system?
Absolutely—integration is our specialty. We create robust, two-way API connections to popular TMS like Oracle or Manhattan, syncing lead details with real-time inventory availability. For instance, if a prospect inquires about refrigerated space, the system cross-references your current bookings to score feasibility. This eliminates silos, reducing manual checks that eat into efficiency. Deployment takes 4-6 weeks, with testing to confirm zero data lags during high-traffic periods. Warehousing firms we've partnered with report 50% faster lead-to-quote cycles, turning your TMS into a predictive powerhouse without replacing it.
How much customization is involved, and what's the timeline?
Every solution is 100% custom-built for your workflow—no templates. We start with a deep dive into your lead gen channels, like broker networks or e-procurement portals, then engineer the AI to weigh factors unique to your warehousing, such as square footage needs or HAZMAT certifications. Timelines vary: discovery (1-2 weeks), build and train (4-6 weeks), integration and go-live (2-4 weeks). Total: 8-12 weeks for a production-ready system. It's flexible; we prioritize quick wins, like basic scoring in phase one, scaling as you provide feedback. This approach has helped SMBs avoid the pitfalls of rigid software, delivering ROI in under 90 days.
What kind of results can we expect in terms of ROI for lead scoring?
Results-driven logistics firms see tangible gains: a 35% average increase in close rates, per our benchmarks from 20+ warehousing clients. By scoring leads on conversion likelihood—factoring in elements like contract duration and volume commitments—you redirect efforts from low-yield prospects, potentially adding $500K+ in annual revenue for mid-sized operations. Efficiency-wise, sales teams save 20-30 hours weekly on qualification, directly boosting throughput. We track ROI via built-in metrics, with one client recouping costs in three months through optimized dock scheduling from better leads. It's not hype; it's proven in real supply chain scenarios.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive logistics client data?
Security is non-negotiable in transportation and logistics, where data like shipment manifests can be gold for competitors. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and compliance to standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Data stays within your controlled environment—options for on-prem or secure cloud—without third-party subscriptions exposing vulnerabilities. For warehousing specifics, we anonymize sensitive details like exact locations during scoring. Audits show 99.9% uptime and zero breaches in our deployments. Your team retains full ownership, ensuring peace of mind as leads flow from inquiry to secured contract.
