How AI boosts warehouse efficiency and cuts costs

AI isn’t just for the big players. Tom Graham’s latest piece in Parcel and Postal Technology International highlights how SME logistics operators can harness AI to compete with enterprise-level innovation. From route optimisation to predictive maintenance, smaller operators now have access to tools that can drive real efficiency and resilience. It’s not about spending big it’s about starting small, focusing on high-impact use cases, and building digital maturity step by step.

🚀 Introducing SKUdrop AI Mapping for Product Uploads At SKUdrop , we’ve always believed that AI is not just a trend, it’s a tool that drives efficiency, accuracy, and smarter supply chains. We’re excited to announce the first rollout of our AI integration which is now live: 🔹 AI-Powered SKU Onboarding Our new AI mapping tool eliminates the friction large brands face when uploading their entire catalog of SKUs into our system. Instead of spending days manually converting product data, our AI does the heavy lifting: ✅ Identifies internal customer SKU data ✅ Seamlessly converts external product data into SKUdrop ✅ Ensures accuracy across every line item This means brands can implement SKUdrop’s supply chain tactics and capabilities faster, with less friction, and with confidence in data integrity. And this is just the beginning. AI’s role in SKUdrop will extend beyond onboarding, into forecasting, inventory movement automation, and other critical areas of supply chain management. We’re proud to combine AI with global supply chain solutions and this rollout is our first step forward. #SupplyChain #AI #Ecommerce #SKUdrop #chinastorage #productportfolio #barcodes #ecommerce #logistics #GS1 #supplychain #shipping #SKUdata #globaldistribution #AIintegration

Shipwell has been leading with AI in logistics long before it was a headline-maker. Today marks the shift from traditional TMS to an AI workforce built for tomorrow’s supply chain: https://lnkd.in/gXMcFn8a The new AI suite introduces two new beta features, alongside our user-friendly experience: Track & Trace AI Worker Achieve near-instant shipment visibility and reduce manual tracking by up to 70%. This always-on worker monitors every shipment, flags exceptions, and coordinates with carriers—so updates and resolutions happen faster—making it easier on your team to get work done. In-App AI Assistant Get logistics expertise on demand. Create orders, schedule recurring shipments, manage dock appointments, and solve complex data tasks—all without leaving the platform. No steep learning curve. No risky integrations. Just proven, secure AI that gets real results: ✔️ Less manual work ✔️ More visibility ✔️ A supply chain that’s always one step ahead Meet the TMS that comes with its own workforce—built by a team that’s been delivering AI-driven results for years, not months.

Sifting through the AI hype to find gold can be exhausting, but here is an easy nugget. Our approach to AI at Shipwell is the same as our approach to any other problem: 1. Focused Curiosity 2. Select the best tool for the job 3. Build what your customers want In this revolution of AI-assisted everything, we've adapted how we work to include the latest tools: ClaudeCode for developing; LangGraph Platform to host, monitor, and evaluate our agents; CodeRabbit for code reviews and team collaboration. These tools augment, but do not replace, our fundamental experimental approach. Test everything all the time. Continuous evolution and constant evaluation of how we create won't stop. We will relentlessly improve our customer experience through best-in-class products.

I’m proud to share another significant milestone in our commitment to driving innovation for supply chains. Shipwell was first to market with integrated AI workflows to support AR/AP, finance, and settlement, which led to rapid adoption and measurable impact for our customers. Today, we’re taking that vision further with the launch of Shipwell AI Studio. Now, Shipwell customers can purchase, configure, deploy, and monitor autonomous AI Workers directly within their supply chains. Each AI Worker is designed to mirror the real processes that users follow today, automating exception management and routine tasks. For example, our track and trace AI Worker reviews shipping documents, checks for discrepancies such as incorrect PRO numbers or issues with the bill of lading, and proactively reaches out to carriers or their systems to update shipment information. This is just one of many ways we are transforming supply chain operations through practical, reliable automation. Shipwell is now the only pure SaaS platform offering planning, execution, visibility, automation, integrations, optimization, dock scheduling, settlement, and AI Workers - all within a single, unified, cloud-based SaaS solution and API. This comprehensive approach ensures our customers have the tools to build more resilient, efficient, and intelligent supply chains, staying ahead in a competitive landscape. We’re excited to see how our customers leverage these new capabilities to drive their businesses forward. Great work Dave Mathias Tyler Dorland Carolyn Wilson and the many other Shipwelleans who made this happen!

AI in Logistics Is Booming — But Are We Data Ready? As AI continues to reshape supply chain operations. From predictive demand planning to route optimization. One critical challenge remains: data readiness. In my experience working with platforms like CargoWise and Blume Visibility, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful these tools can be only when the underlying data is clean, accurate, and real-time. Without it, even the best AI systems are making decisions on flawed inputs. For companies aiming to adopt AI across their supply chain, the focus shouldn’t just be on automation. It should start with building strong data processes, real-time visibility, and collaborative workflows that turn raw information into actionable insights. 💡 What’s your take? Are we moving too fast on tech without fixing the basics? #SupplyChain #AIinLogistics #DataReadiness #CargoWise #SCM #DigitalTransformation #UseOfAI
