The AI-native Logistics Operating System

Logistics costs consume 8โ€“10% of global GDP. Last-mile delivery accounts for 53% of total shipping cost. Fleet fuel waste runs at 30%. LogisticsOS deploys 13 AI agents to optimise routes, predict disruptions, and slash cost-per-delivery.

Root Problems

Why this sector needs AI-native infrastructure

๐Ÿ›ฃ Route Planning: Static in a Dynamic World
Manual route planning uses yesterday's data. AI route optimisation incorporates real-time traffic, weather, delivery windows, vehicle capacity, and driver hours โ€” recalculating every 15 minutes. Result: 31% fuel reduction, 28% more deliveries per vehicle per day.
๐Ÿ“ฆ Last-Mile: The 53% Cost Problem
Last-mile delivery is the most expensive part of logistics โ€” accounting for 53% of total cost. AI dynamic slotting, crowdsourced delivery triggers, and failed delivery prediction cut last-mile cost by 28% per parcel.
๐Ÿšจ Disruption: Blind Until It's Too Late
A traffic incident, port delay, or vehicle breakdown can cascade across hundreds of deliveries before planners respond. Disruption Prediction AI detects problems 2โ€“4 hours ahead and auto-triggers re-routing and customer notifications.
๐Ÿ”‹ Fleet: Underutilised and Expensive
Average fleet utilisation runs at 67%. Vehicles depart partially loaded, drivers idle at depots, and maintenance happens reactively. Fleet Intelligence tracks every asset in real time and optimises load, scheduling, and maintenance.
๐Ÿ“Š Demand: Warehouse Staffing Blind Spots
Warehouse labour accounts for 50โ€“60% of logistics operating cost. Demand volatility makes staffing decisions reactive โ€” overstaffed during slow periods, understaffed during peaks. AI demand forecasting drives accurate 4-week staffing plans.
๐ŸŒ Sustainability: Carbon Compliance Pressure
Scope 3 emissions reporting is now mandatory for many enterprise shippers. Manual carbon accounting is inaccurate and slow. LogisticsOS calculates delivery-level COโ‚‚, reports Scope 3 automatically, and optimises routes for lowest carbon.

Governance & Responsible AI

Advisory intelligence โ€” humans decide

๐Ÿšš
Driver safety: always paramount
Route optimisation never violates driver hours regulations (EU Working Time Directive, HGV rules). AI cannot override mandatory rest periods or tachograph compliance. Safety always overrides efficiency.
๐Ÿ“Š
Autonomous re-routing: human approval
Significant route changes (>30 min deviation) require dispatcher approval. Minor optimisations (traffic avoidance) are autonomous within pre-approved parameters.
๐ŸŒ
Carbon data: auditor-grade accuracy
COโ‚‚ calculations use GLEC Framework methodology โ€” industry standard for logistics carbon accounting. Data auditable for CSRD/Scope 3 reporting compliance.
