# AI use cases for Logistics & Transportation

> Freight operations are decided in minutes and reconciled for weeks: tenders, dispatch, tracking exceptions, proof of delivery, carrier invoices, driver compliance. Margin depends on choosing the right carrier and catching the wrong charge. AI belongs in evaluation and audit: scoring the tender against capacity and rate history, watching tracking and drafting the customer notice, checking the invoice against the agreement. Dispatchers and billing keep the final say, with the recommendation and its reasoning in front of them.

## 6 AI workflows for Logistics & Transportation

### Load tender evaluation and carrier matching

Evaluates incoming tenders against carrier capacity, lane history and rate agreements, and recommends a carrier with the reasoning. The dispatcher accepts or overrides.

### Proof of delivery collection and billing

Collects proof of delivery, matches it to loads, and prepares the invoice batch. Billing reviews exceptions before invoices go out.

### Shipment exception notification

Monitors tracking continuously and drafts customer notices when a shipment is delayed or held. The dispatcher approves anything that involves a reschedule.

### Driver compliance document tracking

Tracks driver license, medical card and inspection expirations, requests renewals, and flags gaps. The safety manager decides who is cleared to drive.

## How to read the badges

Two badges on every card. Complexity describes the build. Deployment describes where it runs.

- **Starter** — A contained workflow: one agent, one or two systems, and exceptions simple enough to route to a single person. Often the first workflow an organization automates.
- **Standard** — Several systems or steps, defined exception routing, and human approval points designed into the workflow. Most of the library sits here.
- **Advanced** — Several agents coordinating, regulated or sensitive data, persistent state across sessions, or decisions where an error is expensive. Governance design is most of the work.
- **Platform-native** — Runs directly on Anthropic's platform: Claude models, tool use and MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectivity, with Altivus providing monitoring, governance and ongoing management.
- **HeyQuinn recommended** — Runs on HeyQuinn, the AI runtime by Altivus, because the workflow needs persistent agents, several agents coordinating, granular permissions, approvals, audit and Mission Control visibility, on-premises or customer-cloud hosting, or models from vendors other than Anthropic.
