Orders arrive fragmented across email, PDF, phone and customer portals – manual re-keying costs time and creates errors.
Constant 'where is my shipment?' enquiries tie up dispatch and customer service.
TMS, ERP, warehouse management, telematics and customer systems rarely speak the same language – data gets entered several times.
Thin margins and driver and staff shortages leave little room for administrative overhead.
Multilingual customers and cross-border traffic (DE/FR/IT plus EU) multiply the communication load.
Peak volumes and time-critical windows make manual processes fragile.
Where AI helps
Automated order intake
With AI Automation, orders from emails, PDF delivery notes and forms can be read, structured and passed straight into the TMS or ERP. Typically the sender, addresses, line items and dates are extracted and presented for a quick check instead of being typed line by line.
Round-the-clock status enquiries
An AI Phone Assistant answers recurring 'where is my shipment?' enquiries on the phone or in chat – in German, French and Italian. It typically pulls the status from the connected system and hands complex cases cleanly over to dispatch.
Connected systems instead of double entry
AI Integrations connect dispatch, warehouse, telematics and customer systems so shipment data is created once and stays current everywhere. This removes duplicate entry, and status changes can, for example, be pushed back to customers automatically.
Checking documents and flagging discrepancies
With AI Automation, delivery notes, order confirmations and invoices can be matched. When quantities, addresses or dates diverge, the case is typically flagged and put in front of a person – rather than quietly slipping through the daily workload.
Illustrative implementation examples
The following examples show typical situations in logistics and transport. They are illustrative and describe what a solution can look like – not measured results at any specific company.
A freight forwarder receives orders as PDF attachments. The AI reads them and creates them in the TMS for release – dispatch checks instead of typing.
End customers ask about delivery status in the evening and at weekends. The phone and chat assistant answers in DE/FR/IT and escalates only genuine exceptions.
Order and shipment data is currently entered twice between the online shop, ERP and warehouse. An integration lets the data flow once.
How it works
We start with one concrete, frequent process – order intake, for instance – and automate it step by step along your existing systems. No major project, but a clearly scoped first use case that proves itself in daily operations and is then extended.
Data stays in Switzerland or in suitable regions; processing follows revDSG/nFADP, with the EDÖB in view where relevant.
People stay in control: when uncertain, the AI presents the case rather than deciding on its own.
Multilingual from the start: German, French and Italian are considered together.
No. We build on your existing systems. The AI reads, enriches and connects data through interfaces rather than replacing your software. The goal is to make the tools you already have work together better.
How reliably does the AI read orders from PDF and email?
Recognition is usually high but should never be treated as flawless. That is why the AI presents recognised orders for release and flags uncertain fields. Your team checks in case of doubt instead of capturing every order from scratch.
Can the phone assistant really answer in German, French and Italian?
Yes. The assistant is designed for Swiss multilingualism and switches language depending on the caller. For complex matters it hands over to your team in a structured way rather than guessing.
What happens to our shipment and customer data?
Processing follows the revDSG/nFADP. Data stays in Switzerland or suitable regions where possible, and access is governed and documented. We clarify data-protection questions with you before implementation.
How quickly is a first use case ready?
That depends on your systems and data sources. We deliberately start small with a clearly scoped process so you see the benefit early in daily operations and then decide what to automate next.
Does the AI replace our dispatchers?
No. It takes over recurring, time-consuming routine – re-keying, standard enquiries, data matching – and frees your team for exceptions, customer relationships and decisions that require experience.
