Supply Chain & Logistics
Dispatch Decision Agent
Decide, order by order, whether a shipment should exist on this path at all.
Target outcome: 3 to 5% freight savings
The business problem
Recover 3 to 5% of freight and logistics spend
Dispatch paths were set years ago in master data. Every shipment follows the same route while margin leaks across handling, dwell, and tax feasibility nobody re-checks order by order.
What we deploy
Dispatch Decision Agent
Sits above your TMS and ERP. Replays dispatch history, scores tax-feasible bypass and clubbing options, and attributes savings across five cost pools, not just line-haul freight.
How this agent runs
Every agent follows the same operating loop on your stack: audit the evidence, decide with confidence scores, execute with human approval, and record results back to your systems.
Audit
Full coverage on the transactions and documents you choose: contracts, invoices, dispatches, disputes.
Decide
Confidence-scored recommendations with counterfactuals, tax feasibility, and policy rules applied first.
Execute
Human-in-the-loop for consequential actions. Agents prepare; your team approves.
Record
Clean results posted back to your ERP, WMS, or operational systems with a full audit trail.
What we need from you
Data and systems
- Dispatch and TMS exports (typically 6 to 24 months)
- Carrier contracts, rate cards, and lane master data
- ERP shipment, cost, and inventory feeds or scheduled CSV drops
Typical timeline
Guaranteed assessment in 8 to 12 weeks on your exports. Production rollout follows once the savings case clears your hurdle.
8 to 12 weeks on your exports and operational data. A defensible outcome number before you commit to rollout. We agree the baseline and success metric before deployment starts.
Key capabilities
Replay dispatch history against tax-feasible bypass and clubbing options
Attribute savings across five cost pools, not line-haul alone
Surface order-level recommendations your planners can approve
How we deploy it
8 to 12 weeks on your exports and operational data. A defensible outcome number before you commit to rollout. Same operating model on every agent: scope, deploy, measure, then scale or hand off.
Scope
Agree one outcome, baseline KPI, and the exports or systems the agent will read.
Deploy
Agent live on your ERP, WMS, or operational files within the engagement window.
Measure
Track results against the baseline with named transactions and audit trails.
Scale
Expand to adjacent modules or run independently. You own the code from day one.
Good fit if
- Freight spend grows faster than volume
- TMS optimizes routes but never questions whether the shipment should exist
- Finance asks for a defensible savings number you cannot produce today

Frequently asked questions
What does the Dispatch Decision Agent do?+
It sits above your TMS and ERP, replays dispatch history order by order, and scores whether each shipment should exist on its current path. That includes tax-feasible echelon bypass and load consolidation options across five cost pools.
Does it replace our TMS?+
No. It reads dispatch exports and ERP data you already have and recommends better routing decisions. Your TMS and ERP stay in place; the agent adds a decision layer on top.
What outcome should we expect?+
Typical engagements target 3 to 5% freight savings, validated in a guaranteed assessment replay on 6 to 24 months of your own dispatch data before rollout.
What data do you need to start?+
Dispatch and TMS exports (6 to 24 months), carrier contracts and rate cards, and ERP shipment and cost feeds. CSV and Excel drops are fine for an assessment.
What happens after the assessment?+
You receive a savings number tied to named shipments. If it clears your hurdle, we deploy the production module on your stack and hand over code you own.
