Autonomous AI Agents for Logistics
An autonomous AI agent built for logistics operators.
Shipments proceeding normally need no attention. Exceptions — customs holds, failed deliveries, damage, capacity shortfalls — each need investigation across several systems and a decision. Agents gather the context, propose the resolution, and escalate what genuinely needs a person.
Built by VelvoAI, an independent AI systems studio. One engineer scopes and writes every system.

What this handles for logistics operators
Exception handling is where operations time actually goes.
- Investigate delivery exceptions across tracking, carrier, and customer records
- Propose rerouting or rebooking options when capacity or timing fails
- Assemble the full context for a claim or dispute before anyone opens the case
- Monitor shipments continuously and act on slippage before the milestone is missed
Exceptions arrive at your team already investigated, with options rather than raw alerts.
How it runs
Day to day for logistics operators
An exception is not an alert, it is an investigation across tracking, the carrier portal and the customer record, and the agent's job is to arrive with that context already assembled. The clock is the whole game, and the vocabulary is where outsiders give themselves away: demurrage accrues while the box sits inside the terminal past free time, detention accrues while you hold the carrier's container outside it, and carriers call the second one per diem in-house without agreeing on what it covers. Screening works on the same principle — the agent runs the check and routes the match, because false positives on common names are the norm and a hit needs human adjudication.
- S.01Carrier portals and terminal appointment systems, for the investigation itself
- S.02Free time, demurrage and detention tracked per container rather than per shipment
- S.03Consolidated Screening List and the UK sanctions lists, with the hit routed rather than cleared
- S.04Rebooking inside cost, carrier and service-level limits you set, and proposals outside them

Autonomous AI Agents for Logistics — questions
01Would it rebook shipments on its own?
Only within limits you set — cost thresholds, approved carriers, service levels. Anything outside them is proposed with the options and costs laid out for a person to approve.
02How does it know an exception has occurred?
Continuous monitoring of tracking events against expected milestones, so a missing scan is detected as an anomaly rather than waiting for a carrier to raise it or a customer to call.
