Automated transport dispatch notices

Import the day’s orders in one click: the AI groups shipments by carrier and drafts every dispatch notice. Adjust if needed, then send them all at once — no more one-by-one calls and re-keying.

In brief

Every morning, grouping shipments by carrier and notifying each one by email, message or phone eats hours and invites mistakes. The AI imports the day’s orders, builds the runs per carrier and drafts ready-to-send notices; you keep control of the tweaks and approve the whole batch in one go.

In detail

Every morning, someone groups the day’s shipments by carrier and notifies each one — by email, by phone, on a portal. It is an hour or two of repetitive work where every slip costs you a dispute or an empty truck. Here is how AI prepares all of it in a few minutes, and what you keep to approve.

The morning ritual, and what it costs

The routine is the same in most companies that ship goods: pull the day’s sales or picking orders, work out the carrier for each shipment by destination, weight and habit, then notify each carrier in its own way — an email with a table, an entry on its portal, a phone call for urgent ones.

This work concentrates three weak points: it often depends on a single person who “knows” which carrier takes what; it is done under pressure while the dock is waiting; and every slip has a direct cost — a pallet left on the dock, an unplanned pickup, a dispute over a shipment that was never notified.

What the AI prepares, what you approve

Import: the day’s sales come in with one click from your sales management software or your ERP — no rekeying. Building the runs: the AI groups shipments by carrier by applying your real rules (zones, weights, lead times, per-customer preferences), learned from your history and corrected by your feedback.

Preparing the notices: for each carrier, the notice is generated in the format it expects — the usual table, the file for its portal, the email summary. Approval: you review everything on a single screen, move a shipment from one carrier to another if needed, then send it all in one go. The proposed assignment is best effort, based on your rules: ambiguous cases — an unusual destination, a borderline weight, a customer with a specific constraint — are highlighted for you to decide, not settled silently.

What changes day to day

The most visible gain is time: the preparation that took up the early morning becomes a review of a few minutes. The most important gain lies elsewhere: reliability. No more shipments forgotten because the phone rang at the wrong moment, no more dependence on the one person who knows each carrier’s habits — the rules are in the system, and that person checks them instead of carrying them out.

And because the notices all go out from one place, you keep a record: who was notified, when, for which shipments. Useful the day a carrier dispute comes up.

Your volumes and your rates stay yours

Your shipping flows describe your customers, your volumes and, indirectly, the terms you negotiated with each carrier. You choose where the AI runs; with a SABER server on your premises, this data passes through no external service. The notice goes to the carrier — your history does not.

Questions

Your questions, answered.

How does the AI know which carrier takes which shipment?

It applies your real rules — zones, weights, lead times, customer preferences — defined during scoping and refined by your history and your corrections. Ambiguous cases are shown to you instead of being settled silently.

What form do the notices take?

The format each carrier already expects: a table by email, an integration file, an entry prepared for its portal. Nothing is asked of your carriers — it is your side that gets automated.

Can I change a run before sending?

Yes, that is the whole point: everything is shown on an approval screen where you move, add or remove shipments before sending the lot in one go.

What happens with a sale entered late?

A new import picks up the sales not yet notified and prepares an additional notice. The completeness check compares notices with the day’s sales so that no shipment is left without a carrier.

Do we need to change our ERP or sales software?

No. The AI plugs into your existing exports or APIs and works alongside your tools.

Is there funding to help pay for the project?

Yes, in France. Our training courses can be funded by your OPCO (the French skills operator). AIR.TEK is also referenced by Bpifrance: if your AI project meets the eligibility criteria, it may qualify for a Bpifrance Diag Innov grant of up to €6,500 excl. VAT. We point you to the right scheme.

How much does AI automation with AIR.TEK cost?

No €12,000 development paid up front. You subscribe to your AI team: one all-inclusive monthly subscription, an operating expense (opex) rather than a heavy investment. The amount depends on your scope and is set after a first free discovery call (30 min, remote).
