AI agents for logistics and delivery companies in the UAE: shipment questions answered and exceptions routed, with operations keeping every decision.

Tracking questions flood the ops desk, and exceptions surface too late.

A logistics operations desk spends its day answering tracking questions and loses the exceptions in the noise. A Wakil agent takes shipment enquiries on WhatsApp or email, reads live status from your TMS and carrier systems, and answers with the real position rather than an estimate.

When something is wrong, a delay, damage or a reroute request, it logs the exception with full context and escalates to operations. Your team decides and acts. The agent does not reroute anything on its own.

In practice

A UAE delivery company answered 82% of shipment status enquiries automatically, leaving its operations desk free for exceptions only.

Common questions

What logistics teams ask us first.

Where does tracking data come from?

Directly from your TMS and carrier APIs, so the customer gets the live position rather than a generic estimate.

Will it reroute a shipment?

No. It logs the exception and escalates to your operations team with the full picture. Routing decisions stay with your people.

How are customers kept updated?

The agent sends the status update once operations has made a decision, so customers hear from you without anyone chasing them.
