Global Logistics Turnaround
When a Fortune 500 entity faced a total breakdown of their NAFTA shipping corridors, we implemented an autonomous, agentic routing algorithm.
The Problem
Incumbent carriers had monopolized lanes, charging massive premium surcharges disguised as “fuel hedging.” The client had zero visibility into real-time alternate capacity.
The Solution
We deployed a dynamic LLM sourcing agent that constantly scraped spot-market rates and automatically built RFQs for any lane where the incumbent’s rate deviated by > 5% from market baseline.
The Result
- 18% Hard Savings isolated in 90 days.
- 43% Reduction in late deliveries by forcing spot-carriers to compete on SLA.
- Total elimination of incumbent complacency.
