How FLYZEO connected 11 carrier APIs for SwiftFreight GmbH, reducing shipment delays by 42% and cutting daily operations tracking time from 6 hours to under 30 minutes.
| CHALLENGE
SwiftFreight managed 3,000+ shipments per month across 18 countries using 11 different carriers. Their operations team manually checked carrier portals, chased PODs and reacted to delays after customers complained. Average delay notification lag was 4.5 hours. POD collection took up to 72 hours. The ops team was spending 6 hours per day on tasks that should have been automated.
SOLUTION
FLYZEO built an AI Logistics Manager that connects to all 11 carrier APIs simultaneously, monitors every shipment in real time and predicts exceptions before they become customer complaints.
Key automations delivered:
- Unified dashboard pulling live data from all 11 carrier APIs in a normalised format
- AI exception prediction model trained on 6 months of historical delay data
- Automated Slack alerts to ops team within 8 minutes of anomaly detection
- Automated customer email and WhatsApp notification with revised ETA when delays occur
- POD auto-collection and filing triggered on delivery confirmation
- Weekly carrier performance report auto-generated every Monday at 7am
TECH STACK: n8n, OpenAI GPT-4o, 11 Carrier API Connectors, Slack, WhatsApp Business, PostgreSQL, Google Sheets
TIMELINE: Deployed in 14 days
RESULTS
- 42% reduction in delivery delays
- Exception detection time reduced from 4.5 hours to 8 minutes
- 6 hours per day of ops team tracking time eliminated
- POD retrieval time reduced from 72 hours to under 4 hours
- Carrier performance data available for the first time — leading to renegotiated contracts
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
"We used to find out about delays when clients called to complain. Now we know before the driver does." — Luca Ferretti, Director of Logistics
