What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under leads from shippers who couldn't handle our suburban routes—wasting hours on calls that went nowhere and spiking our empty backhauls. Their custom scoring model now flags the right fits based on our fleet data and lane density, and we've closed 15 new LTL contracts in just two months, cutting our sales cycle in half while boosting on-time delivery to 95%."

Marcus Hale

Operations Director, SwiftLink Deliveries (Regional LTL Carrier)

"We run tight schedules in the city, but generic tools kept pushing rural leads that spiked our fuel costs by 22% due to low load factors. AIQ's system integrates with our TMS and scores leads on density and urban dwell times—it's like having an extra dispatcher. Last quarter, we reduced deadhead runs by 28%, cut overtime by 15%, and our drivers are on time 92% of the time."

Elena Vasquez

Sales Manager, UrbanHaul Logistics (Urban Parcel Service)

"Peak season used to mean scrambling for volume from e-commerce shippers, but many leads didn't align with our same-day capabilities, leading to 20% capacity underutilization. After implementing their lead scoring, we prioritized high-volume e-tailers based on order surge patterns and hit our revenue targets three weeks early. The dashboard alone saved us 10 hours a week in manual reviews and improved our fill rate to 98%."

Common Questions

How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for last-mile delivery?

Unlike generic CRM plugins that apply broad rules, our custom AI digs into transportation-specific data like delivery density and fleet availability. We train models on your actual shipment logs to score leads by how well they integrate with your routes—think prioritizing urban e-commerce clients over scattered rural ones. This tailored approach has helped similar firms reduce misrouted pursuits by 45%, ensuring sales focus on viable opportunities without the guesswork of one-size-fits-all systems. Implementation starts with a quick audit of your TMS, and we scale it to handle your volume seamlessly.

What data sources do you use to build the scoring model?

We pull from your internal goldmines: historical lead conversions, TMS route data, CRM interactions, and even driver logs for real-world efficiency insights. Externally, we can enrich with public logistics benchmarks or partner APIs for prospect details like expected order cadence. Everything's anonymized and compliant with regs like GDPR. For a typical last-mile outfit, this means scoring that accounts for variables such as same-day feasibility or fuel impact, delivering predictions 30% more accurate than off-the-shelf options. We map it all during discovery to fit your exact workflow.

How long does it take to see results from your lead scoring system?

Most clients notice quick wins within the first month—fewer dead-end leads and faster prioritization. Full ROI kicks in by quarter two, with metrics like 25% better fleet utilization showing up as you refine the model. We accelerate this by integrating directly with your tools and providing training. One delivery company we worked with cut sales follow-up time by 35% in week three, closing deals that aligned perfectly with their capacity. It's built for speed, but customized to your pace.

Can this integrate with our existing transportation management system?

Absolutely—seamless integration is our hallmark. We connect via robust APIs to popular TMS platforms like Oracle or Manhattan, syncing lead scores in real-time so dispatchers see fit prospects instantly. No more manual exports or broken links that plague 60% of logistics setups. For last-mile specifics, we ensure scoring influences route planning directly, optimizing loads on the fly. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, including testing to avoid any ops hiccups, and we handle ongoing maintenance for reliability.

Is the system scalable as our delivery fleet grows?

Yes, designed for growth from 20 to 200 trucks without a hitch. Our architecture uses scalable cloud frameworks that handle surging lead volumes during peaks, like Black Friday rushes. We build in modularity, so adding new variables—like electric vehicle constraints—doesn't require a rebuild. Clients scaling up report sustained 92% accuracy rates, with costs staying predictable. It's like upgrading your rig's engine: more power as you expand, without downtime or overhauls.

How do you ensure data privacy for our leads and routes?

Security is non-negotiable in logistics. We encrypt all data at rest and in transit, adhering to SOC 2 standards and logistics-specific regs like those for hazmat shipping. Access is role-based, so only authorized teams see sensitive route info. Our custom builds avoid third-party dependencies that could leak data, giving you full control. In one project, we helped a firm audit their pipeline to block 15% of risky leads pre-emptively. Regular audits and updates keep it ironclad as threats evolve.
