Every award can be traced
In the procurement platform, live reverse auctions end in a value-based award, an auto-generated contract and a full audit trail.

AI for supply chain and logistics companies in Irvine, CA
Waveo is an AI product studio with its office in Irvine, California. We build AI for freight, 3PL and transportation operators: carrier procurement and tenders, document processing, outbound sales and fleet visibility, with guardrails where freight and money move.
Our published logistics work is carrier procurement: live reverse auctions for tenders with a full audit trail. Where a wrong automated decision moves real freight or money, the systems we build keep a person or an audit trail at the points that matter.
Where AI fits
Where AI fits in a logistics operation, and what we can show for it
The table separates logistics work we have published from adjacent cases and from capabilities we would scope with you.
| Area | Typical problem | What we build | Proof on this site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrier procurement and tenders | Sourcing capacity through slow, manual bid processes | Live reverse auctions, value-based award, auto-generated contracts and a full audit trail | Case study: procurement and tenders |
| Freight sales | Reps spend their time prospecting instead of closing lanes | AI outbound that finds and verifies target accounts, personalizes outreach and triages every reply | Adjacent case (generic B2B outbound, shown on demonstration data): AI outbound |
| Product and specification data | Catalogs full of unverified or guessed attributes | Enrichment with cross-checking, strict schema validation and a no-guess boundary | Adjacent case (internal Waveo system, automotive vehicle data, not freight): vehicle data platform |
| Dispatch and document paperwork | BOLs, PODs and invoices keyed in by hand | Documents read, validated and routed automatically, with human review on uncertain reads | Capability, no published case study yet |
| ETA and exception tracking | Problems found late, after the customer has noticed | Agents that watch shipments and flag exceptions early | Capability, no published case study yet |
| Fleet and equipment visibility | Failures found on the road | A real-time model of fleet and equipment telemetry with anomaly detection | Capability, no logistics case study yet. Adjacent: a digital twin built for safety infrastructure |
Guardrails
Guardrails where freight and money move
People where a mistake is costly
Human-in-the-loop sits at the steps that move freight or money, and uncertain reads go to a reviewer instead of being guessed.
Evals and monitoring in production
Systems ship with evals, guardrails and monitoring, so behavior is measured on real volume where deployed and not assumed.
Proof
From the case files
Client work is described by domain and outcome because client details are kept confidential; internal systems are labelled. The full picture is on our page AI for logistics and transportation.
Logistics procurement
Reverse-auction carrier tenders
A logistics procurement platform with live reverse auctions for carrier tenders, value-based award, auto contracts and a full audit trail.
Read the case AI outbound · demonstration dataFind, verify, personalize, triage
A generic B2B outbound engine shown on an illustrative demonstration dataset: finds and verifies accounts, personalizes at scale and classifies every reply.

Our own platform, not a client delivery: a vehicle-data enrichment platform with dual-model cross-checking and a hard no-guess boundary instead of plausible-sounding gaps.

How an engagement starts
Paid discovery sprint
A fixed-scope sprint that tests your real tenders, documents or lanes, and returns a plan and an estimate before you commit.
What to bring
A sample of the flow you want to improve (tenders, shipping documents or lane data), the systems involved, and the decision that costs you the most today.
First build
One workflow taken to production with review steps and monitoring.

FAQ
Questions about AI in logistics
What logistics work can AI take on first?
High-volume, document-heavy and time-critical work: carrier procurement and tenders, dispatch paperwork, exception tracking and outbound freight sales. Where we have a published case study we link to it, and the rest are capabilities we scope in discovery.
Can AI run carrier tenders and procurement?
We built a procurement platform with live reverse auctions for carrier tenders, value-based award, auto-generated contracts and a full audit trail, so every award can be traced.
Can you automate bills of lading, proofs of delivery and invoices?
Reading, validating and routing logistics documents is a capability we offer, with human review on uncertain reads. We do not have a published case study for it yet, so we start by testing your real documents in a paid discovery sprint.
Where does a person stay in the loop?
At the steps that move freight or money, and wherever the system is unsure: uncertain reads go to a reviewer instead of being guessed, and awards in the procurement platform leave a full audit trail.
Do you build a transportation management system?
We have delivered custom TMS and bidding platforms, as described on our logistics industry page. The procurement platform is the one published as a case study. Whether to build, extend or integrate depends on what you already run, and we decide that with you in discovery.
