Read the source ↓What the company did
Guided describes Asavinter using an AI agent to interpret emailed freight requests, extract requirements and query its pricing API. The agent prepares a structured quote and either replies or refers it for review; missing information or unsupported constraints go to a person.
How it went
The August 2026 provider story reports more than 6,500 rate requests processed since launch and a median 54 seconds from request to quote in the customer’s inbox. It gives no independent quote-accuracy test or observation period for the median.
Worth knowing
- The pricing API supplies the rate. Exact thresholds for replying without human review and the underlying pricing logic are not disclosed.
- For your desk: Verify pallet dimensions, tail-lift needs, ADR constraints and promised transit times against service rules before approving an exception or accepting a quoted option.
