You spend hours each week digging through Outlook threads, Excel logs, and shared Google Drives just to find out where shipments are.

An AI agent that automates shipment tracking, expedites order updates, and compiles delivery status by connecting with production, sales, and warehouse teams.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In information-records departments, order clerks waste valuable time tracking shipments by emailing production, sales, and warehouse teams, then manually compiling updates in spreadsheets. Pulling status from SAP or Oracle, chasing Slack messages, and piecing together delivery timelines is tedious and error-prone. This back-and-forth leads to costly delays and frustration for everyone involved.
