Freight Forwarding Automation

Bautomate doesn’t just support your operations — it transforms them. By automating routine tasks, streamlining communication, and delivering real-time insights, our modern freight forwarding solution dramatically improves efficiency, enhances customer satisfaction, and drives business growth.

Common Challenges in Freight Forwarding

Despite being essential to global trade, freight forwarding is often slowed down by manual processes and fragmented systems.

  • High Volume of Enquiries Managing customer enquiries from multiple channels creates bottlenecks and delays.
  • Slow & Error-Prone Quoting Manual pricing workflows lead to inefficiencies and inconsistent customer experiences.
  • Email Overload Teams waste time sorting and processing large volumes of unstructured email data.
  • Inefficient Workflow Management Without automation, task duplication and lack of visibility hamper productivity.
  • Delayed Response Times Sluggish internal processes translate to slower customer service and lost business.
  • Limited Decision Support Frontline teams lack the real-time intelligence needed for agile, data-driven decisions.

With the right solution in place, your team can move faster, reduce errors, and focus on positioning your business to lead in an increasingly competitive and fast-moving industry.

How Bautomate works?

Freight Forwarding Automation Solutions

Enquiry Automation

Bautomate’s Enquiry Automation solution helps you handle all customer queries from multiple channels (Enquiry Forms, Chatbots, WhatsApp, Emails) in one central system, making it easy to manage and process.

How it Works?

Multi-Channel Handling

Whether a customer reaches out via a web form, chatbot, WhatsApp, or email, the enquiry bot captures and categorizes
the enquiry in real time.

Automated Classification

AI bots classify enquiries based on type, such as pricing, shipment tracking, or booking.

Efficient Assignment

The system assigns enquiries to the correct department (sales, customer service, or operations) instantly, ensuring timely and accurate responses.

AI-Powered Follow-ups

Automated responses and follow-ups improve customer communication and provide instant feedback, driving faster
lead conversions.

How Enquiry Automation Works

Multi-Channel Enquiry Capture
Freight forwarding enquiries can come from various channels such as website enquiry forms, chatbots, WhatsApp, and emails. Bautomate’s platform captures all incoming enquiries in real-time and centralizes them into one dashboard for easy management. This ensures no customer request is missed
  • Channels Supported:
Enquiry Form | Chatbot | WhatsApp | Emails

Step 1

AI-Powered Enquiry Bot Classification

Once an enquiry is captured, the AI-powered Enquiry Bot categorizes the incoming message based on its content—whether it’s a pricing request, booking enquiry, or general query. The bot classifies each request according to the relevant department (e.g., sales, customer support, or operations).

Step 2

Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)
for Emails
For enquiries received via email, Bautomate’s Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) system extracts crucial information, such as shipment details, pricing requests, and customer contact information. The IDP technology scans attached documents, making it easier to process enquiries with complex files or detailed instructions
  • AI Bots for Document Processing:
Automatically extract and classify data from email attachments

Step 3

AI Co-Pilot Assisted Routing

The AI Co-Pilot then assists in assigning the enquiry to the right team or personnel. For instance, a booking enquiry may go to the operations team, while a pricing request is routed to sales. The Co-Pilot also provides real-time insights and recommendations to streamline the decision-making process.

Step 4
