Automate logistics & supply chain operations.
Automate BOL verification, carrier bookings, freight claims, and POD reconciliation with deterministic AI across TMS, WMS, and carrier portals. Supply chain teams deploy in plain English with full exception handling and audit trails.
Recognized by Leading Analysts
Why supply chain teams need intelligent automation.
Document volume. Thousands of BoLs, PODs, and carrier documents flowing through multiple formats and channels daily.
System fragmentation. TMS, WMS, ERP, and carrier portals operate in silos, requiring constant manual data re-entry.
Exception handling. Shipping exceptions, rate discrepancies, and delivery failures require human intervention at scale.

Describe the process in English. It runs deterministically.
Supply chain teams deploy in plain English across TMS, WMS, and carrier portals, with full exception handling and audit trails. Exceptions are auto-resolved and encoded permanently.
“Extract shipper, consignee, weight, and commodity from BoL and create shipment record in TMS.”
- 01Extract shipper, consignee, weight and commodity
- 02Create the shipment record in TMS
“Match freight invoice line items to rate card, flag any charge exceeding contracted rate by 5%.”
- 01Match freight invoice line items to the rate card
- 02Flag any charge over the contracted rate by 5%
“Select lowest-cost carrier meeting delivery SLA and create booking with pickup instructions.”
- 01Select the lowest-cost carrier meeting delivery SLA
- 02Create the booking with pickup instructions
Measurable outcomes. In production. At scale.
Manual work vs legacy automation vs Kognitos.
See how deterministic agentic AI compares to manual processes and brittle RPA for the metrics your team tracks.
| Manual | Legacy RPA | Kognitos | |
|---|---|---|---|
| BOL / booking entry | 15–30 min each | UI bots | Minutes, exception-safe |
| Freight claims | Days to file | Manual packets | Auto-assembled disputes |
| POD reconciliation | Spreadsheet matching | Brittle OCR bots | Deterministic match + escalate |
| Carrier portal changes | Ops workarounds | Bot maintenance | Self-healing English rules |
| Time to live | N/A | 3–6 months | 2 weeks |
No carrier templates, no APIs. Exceptions handled end to end.
Kognitos coordinates operations across your TMS and ERP, updating shipping manifests and ledger items through user-interface automation, without complex backend code projects.
Every carrier format, no templates.
Kognitos reads Bills of Lading from hundreds of carriers without layout templates, extracting shipping counts and validating information accurately.
Bookings without a carrier API.
Agents read unstructured booking requests in text threads, cross-reference your routing rules, and enter data directly into external shipping portals.
Exceptions logged and claimed.
On an exception code, Kognitos creates an issue log in your TMS, updates inventory metrics, and drafts a carrier claim notice while alerting logistics managers.
Whatever else logistics runs on, automate that too.
Detention and demurrage prevention. Proof-of-delivery sheets and customs declarations. Freight invoice validation before payment. Your team describes each one in plain English, and Kognitos runs it with the same governance.
FAQs
We process 50,000 Bills of Lading a month from 300+ carriers, all in different formats, can Kognitos extract and validate them all without us building a template for each carrier?
Yes. Kognitos handles diverse formatting variations without layout templates. The platform uses advanced document processing to read Bills of Lading from hundreds of carriers, extract shipping counts, and validate information accurately.
Our freight audit catches errors after the fact and we’re still paying incorrect charges, can Kognitos validate invoices against contracted rates before payment is released?
Yes. Kognitos helps prevent overpayment by validating inbound freight invoices against original carrier contracts and spot-quotes before approving disbursement, allowing teams to catch billing discrepancies early.
We deal with detention and demurrage fees constantly because of delays in documentation, can Kognitos accelerate the BoL and POD processing cycle to prevent those charges from accruing?
Yes. Kognitos shortens documentation cycles by extracting data from proof-of-delivery (POD) sheets and custom declarations on arrival, accelerating system updates to avoid costly terminal delays.
Carrier bookings currently go through email and portal, can Kognitos automate the booking execution based on our routing guide rules, without a carrier API for every partner?
Yes. Kognitos agents can read unstructured booking requests in text threads, cross-reference your internal routing rules, and enter data directly into external shipping portals, automating bookings without custom API work.
When a shipment exception occurs (damaged goods, missed delivery, short shipment), what does the automated workflow look like, who gets notified, what’s logged, and how is the claim initiated?
Upon detecting an exception code, Kognitos extracts documentation photos or text, creates an issue log in your TMS, updates inventory metrics, and drafts a carrier claim notice while alerting logistics managers via messaging channels.
We’re using a TMS (McLeod, TMW, or Oracle TMS) alongside our ERP, does Kognitos sit between both and orchestrate across them, or does it require a direct integration with each?
Kognitos coordinates operations across both systems. The platform updates shipping manifests inside your TMS and updates ledger items inside your ERP concurrently through user-interface automation, eliminating complex backend code projects.
