AI Automation for Logistics & Distribution
Logistics companies lose more money to inefficiency than to competition - delayed dispatches, manual data entry, slow customer updates, order mismatches, and poor route planning all pile up.

Crescent AI helps logistics and distribution teams automate tracking, dispatch workflows, customer communication, invoice processing, POD verification, and driver coordination.
Most companies save 35–60 hours/week, reduce operational cost by 15–25%, and recover ₹2–₹10L/month in preventable losses.
