Industry
Logistics & mobility
Communicate shipment status, delivery slots and disruptions proactively, before anyone calls. Driver and customer communication run in one queue; exceptions become tasks with deadlines.
Requirements
What matters in customer contact.
The requests, rules and peaks that shape this industry – and how Univerx answers them.
Where is my shipment?
The most common question can be answered before it is asked. Notices on dispatch, delay and delivery, by SMS or messaging.
Changing a delivery slot
New slot, safe place, neighbour: AI agents handle it in chat or on the phone and write it into the connected system.
Drivers need answers
Unclear address, blocked access, recipient not home. Driver requests run in their own queue with priority.
Exceptions that get stuck
Damage, loss, returns: task routing turns them into cases with a deadline, a workbin and tracking.
Disruptions in the network
Weather, strikes, outages: one disruption affects many at once. Proactive notices and callbacks take the pressure off.
Critical sectors
NIS2 explicitly names transport as well as postal and courier services. Documents on supply chain and reporting lines on request.
#Inform instead of making people wait
In logistics and mobility, almost every customer question has a status as its answer. Where is the shipment, when will it arrive, why is it late? People who know the status do not need to call.
Univerx turns events into notices. Dispatch, delay, a delivery attempt or a cancellation trigger notifications by SMS, email or messaging. Anyone who replies lands in the queue together with the case.
#The next best action for the shipment
With journey orchestration, every event is followed by the fitting action. A missed delivery attempt triggers an offer of a new slot. A long delay offers a callback.
| Event | Action |
|---|---|
| Dispatch | Notice with time window and a link to change the slot |
| Delay | New slot, reason in plain language |
| Delivery attempt | Offer: new slot, safe place or pickup |
| Damage | Case with photos and a deadline to the back office |
#Drivers and customers in one queue
Drivers need a fast answer, or the route stalls. Their requests run in their own queue with priority. Dispatch and customer service see the same case.
When the recipient calls afterwards, it is already clear what happened. Nobody has to ask twice. AI agents handle simple slot changes themselves and hand over with context.
#When a disruption hits many
Storms, strikes or outages affect thousands of shipments or passengers at once. One central announcement in IVR and chat, proactive notices and callbacks instead of hold absorb the wave. The use case Peak load & crisis communication describes the order.
#Regulation in view
The NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555 covers the transport sector as well as postal and courier services. Univerx supports your obligations with documents on request; see NIS2 in the Trust Center.
For passenger transport, Germany's Accessibility Strengthening Act sets requirements for digital customer interfaces. For messaging and self-service, WCAG 2.1 AA is the goal.
#A typical start
- Workshop: define events, channels, rules and systems.
- Pilot: one event type with a notice, a reply option and slot changes.
- Rollout: driver queue, exceptions with deadlines, disruption communication.

Use cases
Flows teams here start with.
From first contact to resolution: the use cases that often come first in this industry.
Peak load & crisis communication
When everyone calls at once: inform proactively, offer callbacks instead of hold, let AI agents answer the most frequent question and reset teams with forecasting and short-term scheduling. In an order that has been planned in advance.
Self-service around the clock
AI agents resolve routine requests on the phone and in chat, at any hour. They are disclosed as AI, act only in approved systems and hand over with context as soon as a person is needed.
Customer service
Every request on the right channel, with the right person, with the whole context. Routing, workspace, Univerx Assist and knowledge work together in one flow.
Back-office automation
Steer back-office work the way you steer customer contacts: task routing with SLAs, workbins and tracking. Semantic² checks the documents and returns findings in euros with their source. A person always makes the decision.
