Case Studies Logistics

A digital breakthrough in logistics operations

Efficiency jumped 7-fold and costs dropped by 60%. Xelto's intelligent algorithms took over the tedious paperwork, optimising transport document handling across the entire supply chain.

Case study: intelligent distribution centre
Challenge

Document chaos and picking inefficiency

Manual processing of CMR letters, transport documents, and freight invoices by an overloaded team — every document required multiple verifications and manual data re-entry into the WMS. Picking errors led to costly re-packing, while the lack of demand forecasting generated downtime and overtime. The team spent most of its time on routine document handling instead of managing operations.

Solution

Hybrid AI organisation for logistics

Digital Co-workers took over processing of CMR letters, transport documents, and freight invoices — reading, validating, and entering data into the WMS without human involvement, 7× faster than the previous team. Predictive agents analyse order history and plan picking in advance, eliminating re-packing. Removing manual data re-entry and double checks translated directly into operational cost savings — integration with the existing WMS took 42 days from contract signing to full production.

Results

Measurable outcomes in the first quarter

7× & 60%
Efficiency increase and cost reduction

Digital Co-workers process transport documents 7× faster than the previous team, and eliminating manual processes translated into a 60% direct reduction in logistics operational costs.

42 days
From contract to full production

WMS integration and warehouse space management agents live in 42 days — elimination of the costly re-packing process through predictive picking planning.
