Overview
What this solution explores
This reference architecture outlines an ops assistant that reads shipment state from systems of record, triages exceptions, and drafts customer updates — with humans owning commitments and edge cases.
Business problem
Where work gets stuck today
Dispatch and customer ops answer the same status questions all day while real exceptions compete for attention. Updates are inconsistent and hard to audit.
Existing process
How the work usually moves now
- 01
Customer or partner asks for shipment status
- 02
Ops looks up TMS/WMS screens and message history
- 03
Manual reply composed under time pressure
- 04
Exceptions are spotted late when someone notices a stuck shipment
Proposed AI workflow
The intended operating path
- 01Resolve shipment identity and fetch live status from systems of record
- 02Answer routine status questions with structured, auditable replies
- 03Triage exceptions into reason codes for ops queues
- 04Draft customer updates for human approval when commitments are involved
- 05Never invent ETAs — only surface system fields or escalate
