Can AI replace our traffic managers?

No. For UK logistics and haulage operators, managed AI handles repeatable customer ETAs, POD chase, and booking confirmations under human oversight. Routing decisions, safety incidents, damage claims, and service failures stay with qualified traffic managers and controllers — agents escalate before commitments change on live loads or contracts.

Does AI integrate with our TMS?

For UK logistics and haulage operators, TAB connects managed AI to your TMS where APIs or structured exports exist. Otherwise agents work from approved status templates and controller notes — your transport management system stays the system of record for jobs, vehicles, and planning.

How much does logistics AI cost?

For UK logistics and haulage operators, TAB managed agents typically start from £299 per month including setup and UK hosting. Pricing reflects fleet size, customer call volume, and integration scope — operators often model value from hours returned to planners and faster POD completion for invoicing.

Is operational data stored in the UK?

Yes. For UK logistics and haulage operators, standard TAB deployments use UK-sovereign infrastructure for operational comms and admin data — supporting firms that need UK residency rather than routing job and customer records through US consumer AI clouds.

/01 — AI for UK haulage, courier, and logistics SMEs

Stop losing hours to Status Calls

The Agent Bureau provides managed AI agents for UK haulage, courier, and logistics SMEs. TAB agents handle customer ETA updates, proof-of-delivery chase, booking confirmations, and routine driver coordination on UK-sovereign infrastructure with logged touchpoints. Operators typically reclaim 8–12 hours per week on phone and email admin (based on TAB workflow mapping). Drivers and traffic managers retain authority on safety, routing, and service failures.

Typical weekly admin returned to planners: 12+ hrs
Touchpoints for controller review: Logged
Managed agent incl. setup and UK hosting: From £299/mo

/02Traffic desk pressure

Customers calling when planners are Replanning

When status calls stack up, invoicing waits on PODs and controllers lose hours on repeat ETAs.

01The Real Question

Who sends the ETA when the desk is on three lines?

Repeatable updates with exception escalation.

03The Result

Cleaner invoicing and fewer angry callbacks.

/04The comparison

Manual desk work versus Managed Logistics AI

The same customer status call. The difference is proactive ETAs and POD chase — or another hour on the radio. Managed AI typically starts from £299 per month.
