Logistics & Retail

Replenishment, fulfillment, carrier and customer operations running at volume without proportional headcount.

Retail and logistics operations are high volume and thin margin, which makes manual handling expensive twice over: it costs labor, and it slows the decisions that protect service levels. The work is repetitive and rule-driven, which is exactly what automation is good at.

We automate the flow from demand signal to delivered order: replenishment proposals from real sell-through, order and stock exceptions resolved against your rules, carrier selection and tracking, returns processed end to end, and customer contact answered around the clock by agents that can actually look things up and act.

Where the manual work sits today

  • Replenishment decided from static minimums instead of live demand
  • Order, stock and address exceptions worked one by one in a shared inbox
  • Carrier selection, booking and tracking handled manually per shipment
  • Returns and claims processed by hand across three systems
  • Contact volume that scales with orders, so service costs scale with growth

Programs we run in logistics & retail

1

Demand-driven replenishment

Purchase and transfer proposals generated from sell-through, lead times and service targets, with buyers approving exceptions only.

2

Order and fulfillment exceptions

Held, short, mismatched and failed orders diagnosed and resolved automatically against your rules.

3

Carrier and transport operations

Rate shopping, booking, label generation, tracking and proactive delay notification without manual steps.

4

Returns and claims

Return authorization, inspection routing, refund or replacement and carrier claims handled end to end.

5

24/7 customer contact

Voice, chat and email agents that check orders, change addresses, process returns and escalate with full context.

What changes for the business

  • Service levels held without adding planners or agents
  • Exceptions resolved in minutes instead of at end of day
  • Working capital released from stock that was covering manual delay
  • Peak seasons absorbed without temporary staffing

Questions we hear in logistics & retail

No. Buyers set the policy and approve what falls outside it. The system removes the routine reorders, which are usually the large majority of the lines.

Capacity is not the constraint that it is with people, so peak is a rules question rather than a staffing one. We test peak behavior before the season, not during it.

No. We integrate with what you run and automate the decisions and handoffs between those systems.
