What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the guesswork and administrative burden of managing complex freight exceptions including shipment delays, damage, loss, and carrier disputes, which require specialized domain knowledge of regulations, carrier-specific rules, and cross-stakeholder coordination to resolve without financial loss or damaged customer relationships.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Exception Classification & Workflow: Automatically categorize exceptions by type (delay, damage, loss, refusal) and severity, then apply mode-specific resolution workflows for LTL, FTL, parcel, intermodal, ocean, and air freight.
- Claims & Dispute Management: Handle carrier liability disputes, file freight claims in compliance with regulations like the Carmack Amendment, and negotiate settlements to maximize financial recovery.
- Escalation & Prioritization: Follow tiered escalation protocols and prioritize exceptions based on financial impact, customer tier, and time sensitivity to resolve high-risk issues first.
- Use Case: A 500-unit LTL shipment arrives with 30% damage, and the carrier claims force majeure. Use this Skill to collect evidence, assess liability, file a claim, and negotiate a settlement while preserving the carrier relationship.
