Shipment Status Automation for Logistics Teams
Let an AI agent collect and organize all your carrier, broker, and forwarder updates—so you never miss a critical shipment detail again.
As a logistics analyst, you spend hours digging through Outlook, Gmail, and carrier portals just to find the latest shipment statuses. It's tedious to copy updates into Excel, chase down missing responses, and prepare reports for management. The constant back-and-forth with service providers leaves you drained and increases the risk of missing a key update.
An AI agent that gathers, summarizes, and organizes shipment updates from carriers, brokers, and forwarders, reducing manual tracking for logistics analysts.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In the financial services supply chain, logistics analysts often waste time pulling shipment updates from email threads, carrier portals like Maersk and Flexport, and spreadsheets. Each provider uses a different format, forcing you to manually consolidate updates and chase missing responses. This repetitive work distracts from higher-value analysis and delays answers to your team.

AI Agent FAQ
The agent connects to your Outlook or Gmail accounts and can process exported files from Maersk, Flexport, and other carrier portals. You control which accounts and exports it can read.
If your logistics management system (like SAP TM or Oracle Transportation Management) allows exports, the agent can process those files. Direct API integrations are planned for future updates.
All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3. The agent never stores shipment details after processing, and only accesses sources you authorize.
The agent processes emails (Outlook, Gmail), PDFs, and Excel or CSV exports from carrier portals. Multi-language support is limited to English at this time.
Most requests are completed in under five minutes, even with hundreds of emails or large Excel files. Complex requests may take slightly longer.
