AIQ Labs' Custom Automation: Engineered for Your Warehouse Workflow
With over a decade of experience integrating AI into logistics operations, we've helped firms like yours achieve enterprise-grade efficiency without the subscription traps.
Why Choose Us
We build tailored AI systems that ingest data from your scanners, WMS, and TMS in real-time. No more transcribing picking lists or reconciling manifests by hand. Our solution uses advanced OCR and machine learning to automate entry across your entire warehousing pipeline, ensuring data flows seamlessly like a well-oiled conveyor belt. Short on time? We start with a workflow audit to pinpoint your bottlenecks, then deploy a production-ready system in weeks, not months.
What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Bottom Line
Reclaim 20+ Hours Weekly Per Team
Reclaim 20+ Hours Weekly Per Team: Warehouse staff spend endless shifts keying in shipment details into TMS and WMS. Our automation handles it instantly, freeing workers for high-value tasks like optimizing LTL routes. Industry benchmarks from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals show this delivers a 25% productivity boost, turning hours of drudgery into focused output that keeps your cross-dock operations humming.
Achieve 5x ROI in Under 6 Months
Achieve 5x ROI in Under 6 Months: Manual errors in PO matching cost logistics firms up to $10,000 monthly in rework, delays, and carrier detention fees. By automating data entry with OCR for bills of lading, we eliminate 95% of discrepancies, slashing correction costs and accelerating cycle times from dock to dispatch. Clients see payback in quarter one, with ongoing savings compounding as freight volumes scale—no more bleeding cash on avoidable mistakes.
Enhance Accuracy to 99.9% Across Inventory
Enhance Accuracy to 99.9% Across Inventory: Like a GPS rerouting around traffic jams, our AI anticipates and corrects data issues on the fly in real-time RFID scans. No longer will mismatched SKUs or overlooked receipts gum up your supply chain. This precision reduces stockouts by 40% in high-velocity SKUs, ensuring your DC runs like clockwork and customers get FTL orders on time, every time.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our receiving team was buried under paperwork, double-checking every pallet against POs manually against our WMS—it took two full days a week, especially with inbound LTL shipments. Now, the system auto-matches via barcode integration and logs everything in seconds. We've cut errors by half, sped up intake by 35%, and reduced dock wait times during peak holiday volumes, which has been a game-changer."
Maria Gonzalez
Receiving Manager, SwiftLogistics Partners (Midwest Regional Hub)
"Integrating their automation with our TMS was seamless, using API hooks for real-time data flow. We used to lose 15 hours weekly on inventory cycle counts alone, leading to constant overstock issues in our 3PL warehouse. Post-implementation, accuracy jumped to near-perfect with automated RFID reconciliation, and we're saving about $8K monthly on excess inventory holding costs and storage fees. It's like having an extra shift without the payroll."
Raj Patel
Operations Director, TransFreight Solutions (National 3PL Provider)
"Our forklift operators were idling while data caught up in the pick-to-light system—frustrating and costly, averaging 30 minutes per operator daily. AIQ's custom setup automates the feeds directly from handheld scanners to our WMS, so now picks flow without interruption for hazmat-certified routes. In the first three months, we boosted throughput by 28% in our distribution center and haven't had a single compliance hiccup on DOT hazmat logs during quarterly audits."
Elena Vasquez
Logistics Supervisor, PeakHaul Distribution (Hazmat-Specialized Carrier)
Simple 3-Step Process
Workflow Discovery
We audit your current warehousing processes, from receiving to dispatch, identifying exact pain points like manual manifest entries. This tailored assessment ensures our solution fits your unique setup, not some off-the-shelf fix.
Custom AI Build
Our engineers craft a bespoke system using your data sources—scanners, ERP, and more—to automate entry end-to-end. We test rigorously in your environment, mimicking real loads to guarantee zero disruptions on launch day.
Deployment and Optimization
Roll out with full training for your team, then monitor performance for the first month. We fine-tune based on your feedback, scaling as your volumes grow, so efficiency compounds over time.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with our existing warehouse management system?
We start by mapping your WMS—whether it's Fishbowl, NetSuite, or a custom setup—and build direct, two-way API connections. This means data from scanners or RF guns flows automatically into your inventory logs without manual intervention. For a recent client with legacy software, we created middleware that synced in under 10 seconds per entry, reducing latency that previously caused picking delays. Our approach ensures zero disruption during integration, with phased rollouts tested on non-critical workflows first. You'll own the code, so future tweaks are yours without vendor dependencies.
What kind of time savings can we realistically expect in our daily operations?
Based on benchmarks from logistics firms we've partnered with, expect to save 15-25 hours per week per shift on data entry alone. For example, one warehousing operation cut manifest logging from 4 hours daily to 30 minutes by automating barcode-to-system transfers. This compounds: less rework means faster cycle times, with ROI hitting 4-6x in the first year through reduced labor costs and error-related losses. We tailor to your volume—high-throughput docks see even bigger gains—and provide post-launch metrics to track progress.
Is this solution secure for handling sensitive shipment data?
Absolutely. We build with enterprise-grade security from the ground up, including end-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest, compliant with standards like GDPR and SOC 2. Access is role-based, so only authorized pickers see relevant manifests, while managers get full audit logs. In a project for a hazmat handler, we incorporated multi-factor auth and anomaly detection to flag unusual entries, preventing breaches. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our custom systems are audited specifically for your workflows, ensuring protection against logistics-specific risks like carrier data leaks.
How long does it take to implement this custom automation?
Typically 4-8 weeks from initial audit to full deployment, depending on your system's complexity. We kick off with a 1-week discovery to blueprint your needs, then 2-4 weeks for building and testing in a sandbox mirroring your warehouse. A mid-sized distributor went live in 5 weeks, starting with automated receiving and expanding to picking. This rapid timeline comes from our focused engineering—no endless iterations—and includes training to minimize ramp-up. Post-go-live, we optimize for the first month at no extra cost.
Can this handle variable data formats from different carriers?
Yes, our AI is trained to parse diverse formats—EDI 856s, PDFs, even handwritten notes via OCR—normalizing them into your unified system. For a client dealing with 20+ carriers, we built a flexible ingestion layer that auto-detects and standardizes ASNs, cutting manual reconciliation by 90%. It learns from your data over time, improving accuracy without constant retraining. This adaptability is key in logistics, where carrier inconsistencies can bottleneck docks; our solution keeps everything flowing smoothly.
What if our warehouse volume grows—will the system scale?
Designed for growth, our architecture uses cloud-native frameworks that auto-scale with demand, handling everything from 100 to 10,000 daily entries without performance dips. We've scaled a regional logistics hub from 500 to 2,500 pallets weekly seamlessly, adding capacity via simple config changes. Unlike rigid no-code platforms, our custom build anticipates surges like holiday peaks, with built-in load balancing and redundancy. You invest once, and it evolves with your business—no rip-and-replace needed.
