Touchless Heavyweight and Parcel Booking

What we deliver

The Problem (Before)

Heavyweight and parcel shipments require specialized carrier selection, dimensional weight calculations. Teams toggle between multiple carrier portals for booking and carrier selection

Who feels this:

Transportation Manager, Logistics Manager, Warehouse & Logistics Manager

The Outcome (After)

Heavyweight and parcel bookings automated end-to-end. Carrier selection, dimensional weight optimization, and booking execution handled without manual intervention.

What makes this different:

Heavyweight bookings require manual dimensional calculations and specialized carrier selection. This system automates the entire process from weight calculation through carrier booking.

How it works

The building blocks behind this outcome.
What Happens

The system identifies heavyweight and oversized orders, calculates dimensional weight, matches to specialized carriers, optimizes rates, and executes the booking end-to-end.

The Intelligence Behind It
  • Heavyweight carrier capacity and reliability by lane
  • Dimensional weight benchmarks by commodity
  • Rate benchmarks for heavyweight parcel carriers

This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years. No single company's data could produce it.

Why This Cannot Be Replicated

Heavyweight bookings require manual dimensional calculations and specialized carrier selection. This system automates the entire process from weight calculation through carrier booking. The intelligence layer is what makes the difference. Building the basic capability is straightforward. Building it on top of 11 years of cross-company supply chain intelligence, with continuous learning from 2.5 million agent actions per month, is what took a decade and cannot be replicated with software alone.
