In the Logistics sector, the challenge is immense: guaranteeing on-time delivery, optimizing inventory, and reducing operational costs while maintaining maximum visibility. However, the daily reality forces us to deal with manual warehouse management, inefficient picking processes, errors in shipping data entry, and a constant lack of synchronization between systems.
To break this operational cycle and transform logistics into a strategic competitive advantage, the solution is Agentic Automation in Logistics. We invite you to discover how!
Agentic Automation goes beyond traditional warehouse management (WMS) and RPA, combining Artificial Intelligence (AI), intelligent software agents, and physical robotics (AMRs) to orchestrate complex logistics flows from start to finish. This not only generates radical efficiency but also provides the agility and predictability necessary to meet customer delivery promises.
Critical Logistics Processes You Can Transform Today
Agentic automation enables a transformation that spans from material sourcing to last-mile delivery.
Logistics Cycle |
Specific Processes to Automate |
Strategic Value Proposition |
Planning and Sourcing |
Demand Forecasting and Replenishment: Integrating data from sales, seasonality, and external events to automatically generate purchase orders (POs). | Reduction in Stock-Outs: Decreases the Stock-Out Rate and optimizes working capital by aligning inventory with real demand. |
Warehouse Management (WMS) |
Warehouse Task Optimization: Intelligent assignment of picking, packing, and replenishment tasks, guiding personnel or robots (AMRs). | Increased Productivity: The picking cycle time can be reduced by up to 50%, eliminating unnecessary travel and errors. |
Transportation and Distribution |
Carrier Selection and Quotation: Agents select the most efficient carrier (cost/time) and automate documentation (labels, manifests). | Cost and Service Optimization: Real-time negotiation and selection of rates, ensuring the best service and reducing the Cost per Shipment. |
Reverse Logistics |
Returns Management: Automation of the inspection, inventory re-entry, and customer refund process. | Improved Customer Experience: Speeds up refunds and product re-availability, turning returns into a seamless process. |
The Return on Investment (ROI) in Agentic Logistics
By implementing Agentic Automation, you are investing in supply chain resilience and customer satisfaction.
Total Visibility and Predictability
The intelligent orchestration of processes allows for complete visibility of inventory in transit, warehouse status, and carrier performance in real-time. This enables Logistics Managers to act proactively against delays or bottlenecks, rather than just reacting.
Reduction of Errors and Operational Costs
AI agents can manage shipping data validation and documentation with superior precision compared to manual processes, significantly reducing costly shipping errors and carrier disputes. By automating repetitive tasks, the need for labor in low-value tasks is reduced.
Strategic Focus
By eliminating the operational burden (such as 60% of the time spent on manual document management), your Logistics team can transition from mere “operators” to value-added analysts. This means focusing on strategic route design, negotiating with key suppliers, and continuous improvement of lead time.
