AI Assistant for Logistics Operations
Automating Calls, Updates, and Order Registration
An AI-powered assistant that reduces manual coordination, so operations teams spend less time on routine tasks and more time on decisions that matter.
Book DemoWhy This Matters
Logistics Coordination Is Still Manual
Japan's logistics digitalization remains limited—phone, FAX, and paper are still common for coordination between shippers and logistics operators. This manual structure increases operational friction and slows decision-making.

Without sufficient countermeasures, transport capacity could be short by ~14% soon and ~34% by FY2030. The industry must increase productivity per truck and per dispatcher-hour—automation becomes essential.
Source: MLITNon-Driving Time Is A Bottleneck
While average 拘束時間 decreased, waiting and handling time remains largely flat. The operational mix includes substantial non-driving activities—improving logistics requires execution efficiency, not only routing.

Too Many Calls and Follow-Ups
Dispatchers spend large amounts of time calling drivers, partner carriers, and shipping/receiving locations to confirm availability, ETAs, changes, and exceptions. This creates delays and inconsistency.
Manual Status Updates Create Blind Spots
When updates are handled manually (phone/email), status becomes fragmented. Teams lose real-time visibility and cannot manage exceptions quickly.
Order Registration Is Repetitive and Error-Prone
Order details are often copied across systems and documents. Manual entry increases mistakes and prevents clean historical data.
Collaboration Requires Heavy Coordination
Even when companies want to collaborate, joint operations break down because communication overhead rises (confirmations, updates, handoffs), making it hard to scale.
Lack of Structured Data for Improvement
If operational actions are not logged in structured form, it becomes difficult to analyze where time is being lost and which processes should be optimized first.
Our Solution
What Logistical's AI Assistant Automates
The AI assistant handles routine operational tasks that currently require dispatcher time, enabling faster execution with fewer manual steps.
Calls and Confirmations
- Confirm truck availability / arrival windows
- Confirm pickup/delivery readiness
- Confirm changes, delays, and rescheduling
- Follow up automatically if no response
Real-Time Updates
- Send status updates to stakeholders at key milestones
- Share ETA changes and exception alerts
- Standardize event updates (so everyone sees the same status)
Order Registration and Data Structuring
- Register orders from structured forms or operational inputs
- Normalize key fields (time window, route, volume, constraints)
- Create searchable history for analysis and reporting
Exception Handling (Escalation)
- Detect issues (late arrival, missed confirmation, mismatch)
- Route exceptions to the right person
- Maintain an auditable timeline of what happened
What This Enables
Faster Execution With Less Manual Work
Automating routine coordination reduces the communication burden that slows daily operations. This is especially important in a market where productivity improvements are required under current capacity constraints.
More Reliable Collaboration
When coordination is systemized, joint delivery and partner operations become more scalable. Manual handoffs no longer block execution.
Better Visibility for Decision-Making
Structured data from daily operations creates the foundation for identifying inefficiencies, improving future planning, and supporting continuous improvement.
Typical Starting Point
Teams start with one or two automation categories (e.g., confirmation calls, status updates), then expand as the system proves value and builds operational trust.
