Why Choose Us

Like a seasoned dispatcher who's always one step ahead, our AI anticipates disruptions before they hit. We craft a tailored system that integrates your TMS, WMS, and HR tools into a unified engine. No more spreadsheets or guesswork. It dynamically assigns shifts based on real-time factors—weather, traffic, inventory levels—ensuring every pallet moves on time. Built from the ground up for your exact workflows, this isn't off-the-shelf software. It's enterprise-grade automation that scales with your growth, delivering proven time savings and cost reductions you own outright.

What Makes Us Different:

Seamless integration with your existing warehouse management system for instant data flow

Predictive algorithms that factor in carrier ETAs and labor availability to prevent bottlenecks

Custom alerts and auto-adjustments that keep your operations humming 24/7

Unlock Quantifiable Gains in Efficiency and ROI

Slash Weekly Scheduling Time by 25 Hours

Slash Weekly Scheduling Time by 25 Hours: Manual rosters for forklift operators and loaders in high-volume DCs eat away at productivity. Our AI integrates with your TMS and WMS to automate assignments, freeing your team for high-value tasks like inbound quality inspections. Expect a 40% productivity boost, translating to $10,000+ in annual savings per shift supervisor through optimized labor allocation during peak freight arrivals.

Boost On-Time Delivery Rates to 98%

Boost On-Time Delivery Rates to 98%: Delays from poor shift planning in multi-stop routes cost logistics firms 15% in customer penalties and demurrage. By automating dock door and dynamic route scheduling via AI, we eliminate inventory mismatches, ensuring trailers load 20% faster and depart on schedule. Clients achieve ROI within 60 days through reduced $500/hour demurrage fees and improved carrier scores.

Cut Overtime Costs by 30%

Cut Overtime Costs by 30%: Peak surges in LTL shipments often double labor expenses without warning, straining dock crews. Our system forecasts demand using historical EDI data and reallocates resources proactively, like rerouting loaders to high-priority inbound bays during volume spikes. This delivers immediate cost reductions—up to $15,000 quarterly—and a leaner operation year-round with better HOS compliance.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's automation, we'd spend Fridays scrambling to cover no-shows for our OTR drivers, often paying double time for last-minute spotters and risking HOS violations. Now, the system flags potential issues by Tuesday using ELD data and suggests seamless swaps— we've dropped overtime from 15 hours a week to under 5, and our manifest error rate on BOLs is basically zero, saving us $12K monthly in penalties."

Maria Gonzalez

Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Logistics

"Integrating this with our WMS and YMS was a game-changer during the holiday rush for cross-border shipments. One shift, we had a reefer trailer breakdown and inventory backlog at the consolidation point, but the AI reassigned dock space, updated gate logs, and notified drivers via TMS alerts in seconds. Saved us $8K in that week alone—no more finger-pointing across our IL and TX facilities."

Raj Patel

Warehouse Director, Pacific Distribution Services

"I was skeptical about custom AI for our 3PL operations, but after three months, our cross-dock efficiency in handling intermodal containers jumped 28%. The real win? No more FMCSA compliance headaches from mislogged DVIR hours on mobile apps. It's like having an extra yard planner who never sleeps, cutting idle trailer time by 40% across our network."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle sudden changes like a truck breakdown?

Our AI is designed for the unpredictability of logistics. It monitors live feeds from your TMS and telematics, instantly reassigning docks and rerouting personnel. For instance, if a carrier is delayed by traffic, the system flags available loaders and adjusts manifests automatically. We've seen this cut delay-related costs by 35% in client warehouses. Setup involves mapping your alert thresholds during the audit phase, ensuring it aligns with your protocols. No more reactive firefighting—it's proactive from day one.

What data sources does the scheduling AI pull from?

We integrate deeply with your core systems: warehouse management software for inventory levels, transportation management for route ETAs, and HR platforms for availability. It also taps external factors like weather APIs and carrier updates. Everything runs on secure, encrypted connections to maintain data integrity. In one project, we synced a client's Epicor WMS with Oracle TMS, creating a single view that eliminated double-entry errors. Your data stays owned by you, with full audit trails for compliance.

How long until we see ROI from this custom solution?

Most clients achieve positive ROI within 60-90 days. For a mid-sized warehouse, that's through reclaiming 20 hours weekly on scheduling alone, plus reduced overtime and fewer errors costing $5K+ monthly. We baseline your current metrics during discovery, then track progress post-launch. One logistics firm recouped their investment in seven weeks by optimizing cross-dock flows. Factors like your facility size influence this, but our track record shows consistent 25-40% efficiency lifts quickly.

Is this suitable for multi-site warehousing operations?

Absolutely—it's built for distributed logistics networks. The AI centralizes scheduling across sites, factoring in transfer times and shared resources. For example, it can prioritize inbound at your primary hub while reserving slots at satellites for overflow. We customized this for a client with three facilities, reducing inter-site delays by 22%. Scalability is key; the system handles growth without rework, using cloud architecture for real-time syncs.

How do we ensure the AI complies with transportation regulations?

Compliance is non-negotiable in logistics, so we embed rules for FMCSA hours-of-service, OSHA safety, and local mandates directly into the AI. It auto-flags violations, like exceeding driver limits, and generates reports for audits. During development, we review your specific regs—say, for refrigerated loads—and test scenarios rigorously. A recent deployment for a cold-chain operator ensured 100% adherence, avoiding $20K in potential fines. Your team gets training on oversight features too.

Can we customize the AI for our specific workflows, like hazmat handling?

Yes, every solution is tailored to your exact needs. If hazmat requires certified personnel and segregated docks, we program those rules in, integrating with your safety protocols. No templates here— we map your processes end-to-end. For a chemical distributor, we added geo-fencing alerts for compliant routing, boosting safety and speed. This custom fit ensures the AI enhances, not disrupts, your operations.
