What changes when it is logistics & supply chain

Most RAG projects fail at retrieval, not generation, the model was fine, the right passage was never fetched. We benchmark retrieval separately, because that is where the accuracy actually lives.

In logistics & supply chain, your data depends on partners whose systems you do not control. That single fact reshapes how rag & knowledge retrieval has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is proof-of-delivery capture, usually integrated against TMS. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

RAG & Knowledge Retrieval workloads in logistics & supply chain

  • shipping document processing
  • proof-of-delivery capture
  • exception and delay handling
  • freight invoice audit
  • route and load planning

What is included

  • Ingestion pipeline for your real document formats
  • Chunking and embedding strategy tuned to your corpus
  • Hybrid keyword plus vector retrieval with reranking
  • Citations on every answer, traceable to the source page
  • Permission-aware retrieval that respects existing access rules
  • Retrieval quality benchmarked against a labelled question set

Questions from this sector

Our partners send data in every format imaginable.

That is the normal starting condition and exactly what document intelligence handles, email, PDF, EDI, scanned paper, all normalised into one structure.

Can it predict delays?

Yes, where there is enough history. The usable output is a reliable exception alert with enough lead time to act, not a precise arrival time.

RAG or fine-tuning?

RAG for knowledge that changes and must be cited; fine-tuning for style, format and task behaviour. Most production systems use RAG for the facts and light fine-tuning or few-shot prompting for the form.

How accurate will it be?

We build a labelled question set from your domain and report retrieval precision and answer accuracy against it. That number is the deliverable. We do not ship a system whose quality nobody has measured.

Can it respect our existing permissions?

Yes. Retrieval is filtered by the user's actual entitlements, so the assistant can never surface a document the user could not already open.
