Transport office automation

Transport Office Automation That Keeps the Wheels Turning, Day and Night

Boafo Agent automates the day-to-day grind of the transport office, POD chasing, driver paperwork queries, customer ETA updates, exception triage, so planners and traffic teams focus on routing, not chasing.

Live in production with real customers. Trained on your business before launch.

What's getting in the way today

  • Planners spend half their day on phone calls instead of routing.
  • POD chasing eats hours every week and delays invoicing.
  • Customers ring for ETAs the office should pre-emptively send.
  • Driver paperwork queries pile up after 6pm with no cover.
  • Manual exception triage produces inconsistent customer responses.

How AI transport office automation works

Boafo Agent integrates with your TMS, telematics and email to handle the repetitive office workflows automatically.

It proactively pushes ETA updates to consignees, chases drivers for missing PODs, triages delivery exceptions and answers driver paperwork questions 24/7.

Your planners and traffic team see only the cases that need a human, the rest is handled, logged and audit-trailed.

Example conversation

Driver:What goes in box 7 of the new collection note?
AI:Box 7 is consignor reference, use the customer's PO number from your run sheet. If it's blank, log 'NIL' and continue.
Driver:Cheers.
