Logistics & distribution

AI for logistics companiesthat clears the paperwork backlog.

Logistics and distribution businesses run on paperwork: delivery notes, proof of delivery, customs documents, invoices and rate sheets. Here's where AI and automation take the typing out of it.

Free and takes about a minute. We only read your public web pages. Rather talk? Book a free 30-minute call.

The admin a logistics business runs on

Delivery paperwork. Proof-of-delivery notes, collection notes and job sheets, often photographed or scanned, which someone types into the system.
Invoices and reconciliation. Supplier and subcontractor invoices checked against jobs and rates before they're paid.
Customer updates. "Where's my delivery?" enquiries answered by phone and email.
Reporting. On-time performance, exceptions and margins pulled together by hand from several systems.

Where AI helps first

Paperwork is the clearest case for document AI. VRTL Extract reads delivery notes and invoices in whatever layout they arrive, pulls out the details and flags anything unclear for a person, so the backlog doesn't build up at month end.

Systems that don't talk to each other are an integration job, not an AI job. VRTL Connect moves jobs, customers and invoices between your transport management, accounts and CRM systems so nothing is entered twice.

Reporting follows once the data is in one place: VRTL Insight gives you a regular view of performance without anyone building a spreadsheet.

Questions we're asked

How much does it cost?

The initial assessment is free. Every VRTL product is a monthly subscription with no setup fee, and your personalised page shows the exact monthly price for your configuration, including VAT, before you commit. You can switch optional modules on and off and watch the price change. Anything that genuinely needs bespoke scoping is flagged clearly rather than added later.

Is our data safe?

Website analysis only reads publicly available pages. Inside VRTL, each organisation's data is kept separate from every other customer's and access is controlled by your own team roles. We explain what data each integration uses before it's switched on.

What is the free assessment?

You paste your website address (or describe your business if you don't have one) and VRTL reads your public pages, works out what you do and which day-to-day processes a business like yours runs on, then gives you a short appraisal: where time is most likely being lost, and where AI or plain automation would genuinely help. If one of our products fits, it's set up for you with the price shown. It's free and there's no sign-up.

Can AI read delivery notes and proof-of-delivery paperwork?

Yes. Document AI can read scanned or photographed paperwork in different layouts, pull out the details you need and flag anything it isn't sure about for a person to check, instead of someone typing every page up.
