Digital employee for shipping and logistics

A digital employee for shipping and logistics companies that tracks shipments and takes pickup requests

A digital employee for shipping and logistics is an AI agent on the company’s WhatsApp, website and phone line. It tells a customer where their shipment is from the tracking number, takes pickup requests with their details, answers rate questions from your approved rate card, and takes reports of delay and damage and passes them to a person with a summary. It suits shipping, delivery, haulage and warehousing companies where “where is my shipment” never stops coming. Delivery usually takes 3 to 6 weeks, and projects of this kind start in the market at about SAR 20,000. You can try a live digital employee now on the /try page, and we send a written quote within 24 hours.

Who is this for?

  • Shipping and delivery companies where “where is my shipment” takes most of customer service’s time
  • Haulage and distribution companies taking pickup requests by phone and WhatsApp by hand
  • Logistics and warehousing companies serving stores and businesses that want contract enquiries sorted
  • Companies whose message volume doubles in peak season while the team does not
  • Managers who want the causes of repeat complaints in numbers

What you get

Shipment status by tracking number

It asks for the shipment number and reads its status from the company’s system where the system offers an interface, then tells the customer where it is and when delivery is expected.

Takes pickup requests

It collects the pickup and delivery addresses, the type of shipment, weight, dimensions and a suitable time, and records the request in the system or hands it to operations.

Rates from your approved rate card

It works out an indicative rate by destination, weight and service type from the rate card you approve, and says what it includes and what it does not.

Changes to delivery time or address

It takes a request to change the time or correct the address and carries it out where the system allows and before the shipment is out for delivery, or passes it to staff.

Delay and damage reports

It records the report with the shipment number, a description and photos, and passes it to the person in charge with a summary, so the customer does not tell the story twice.

No compensation decisions, no customs rulings

Whether to compensate, and how much, stays with the member of staff responsible. The digital employee gives no ruling on customs clearance or on whether an item outside your approved list can be shipped.

Business customer qualification

It asks a store or a company about monthly shipment volume, destinations and type of goods, and hands sales the request with a summary.

A voice version for the phone

It answers customers’ calls in a natural voice, and tells the caller where the shipment is or records the pickup request with no wait.

What the digital employee does in a shipping company

In most shipping companies customer service turns on one question: where is my shipment? The answer is in the tracking system, but a member of staff opens the system, searches and copies the reply every single time. When volume rises in peak season the queue grows, and the customer calls a second and a third time.

The digital employee reads the status from the system and answers in seconds, for any number of customers at once. Staff are left with what needs real action: a stuck shipment, a wrong address, a customer who has suffered a loss.

  • Answers the shipment status question and the expected delivery date
  • Takes pickup requests with their full details
  • Works out an indicative rate from the approved rate card
  • Takes requests to change the delivery time or correct the address
  • Records delay and damage reports and passes them to the person in charge

When it hands over to a person

Ordinary tracking needs no person, but some cases need one at once. We define those cases with you at the start of the project and set the digital employee to them, and make sure the handover carries the shipment number, its date and a summary of what the customer said.

  • A shipment past its expected date by a margin you set
  • A shipment whose status in the system is unclear or stalled
  • A report of damage, loss or a short delivery
  • A customer who has asked the same question more than once, or is plainly upset
  • A request outside the usual services, or a shipment of a special nature

What the digital employee does not do

It does not promise a delivery date the system does not show, does not decide compensation for damage or delay, and does not price outside the approved rate card. Asked whether a particular item can be shipped, it answers only from the list of permitted and prohibited items your company has approved.

Customs clearance, duties and the documents needed for international shipping change and depend on other parties, so it gives the general information your company has approved and leaves the detail to the member of staff responsible.

How it connects to tracking and operations

The value of the digital employee here lies in reading from the system. We connect it to the tracking or shipment management system where the system offers an interface, so it reads the real status at the moment of asking and records pickup requests where they belong. Where the system does not allow that, we tell you from the start what can be done, and the role may be limited to taking requests and reports and delivering them in order.

Shipment status notifications can also go out as approved template messages, so the question is asked less in the first place. The number, the accounts and the code belong to your company, and customers’ data and addresses are kept with defined access in line with the Personal Data Protection Law.

Try it before you decide

The demo page opens on a fictional sample business that is not a shipping company, but it shows you the foundation: a digital employee that understands the question, carries out an action in the system and records it in the system panel as it happens. Write to it or call it.

Yours is connected to your shipment system, rate card and policies, and you test it on real shipments before it opens to customers.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a digital employee for a shipping company cost?

Basic conversational agents start in the market at about SAR 20,000 and rise with the tracking integration and the number of flows and languages, plus a monthly running cost for hosting, the AI model and follow-up. We send a written quote within 24 hours.

Does it know the real status of a shipment?

Yes, if your tracking system offers an interface, because it reads the status there at the moment of asking by shipment number, and does not reply with stored text. If it cannot find the number it asks the customer to check it, or passes them to a person.

Does it give the customer a shipping rate?

It works out an indicative rate from the rate card you approve, by destination, weight and service type, and says the final rate is set after the actual weight. Anything outside the card, such as a large shipment or a monthly contract, goes to sales.

Does it take the whole pickup request?

Yes. It collects both addresses, the type of shipment, weight, dimensions, a suitable time and a contact number, checks that the details are complete, then records the request in the system where that is possible or sends it to operations.

What does it do with a late or damaged shipment?

It records the report with the shipment number, a description and photos, and passes it at once to the person in charge with a summary. It promises no compensation and names no amount; that is for the member of staff responsible, under company policy.

Can it cope with peak season?

It answers a large number of customers at once with no queue, which is what makes it especially useful in peak season. Before the season we review with you the limits of the tracking system itself, so that it does not become the bottleneck.

Do we own the number and the data?

Yes. The WhatsApp number, the business account, the code and the conversation data are all in your company’s name and stay with you. We provide fast technical support after launch.
