Case Study: How a Logistics Company Transformed Email Intake With AI Automation

For logistics organizations, speed is everything. Orders must be processed quickly, service requests need fast responses, and customer expectations continue to rise. But for many companies, the operational bottleneck starts earlier than expected — inside the inbox.

This was the case with Company A, a mid‑sized logistics provider processing high volumes of customer emails daily. Messages ranged from new orders to general inquiries to urgent service issues. With no efficient way to triage or prioritize, the team spent countless hours sifting through emails just to determine what needed attention first.

The Challenge: Email Chaos Slowing Down Operations

Before partnering with Airiam, Company A relied on a completely manual workflow to sort and categorize incoming messages. The consequences were significant:

  • Poor visibility into priority requests made it difficult to distinguish urgent orders from routine communications.
  • Long processing times delayed responses and created internal backlogs.
  • Inconsistent customer experience emerged when high‑priority messages weren’t identified and handled fast enough.
  • Heavy operational burden diverted staff from more strategic, customer‑facing tasks.

The team recognized that the manual process wasn’t sustainable, especially as email volume continued to grow.

The Solution: AI‑Powered Email Sorting & Request Identification

Company A partnered with Airiam to deploy an automated email‑sorting solution using AI and machine learning. The system was designed to:

  • Instantly analyze incoming email content
  • Detect order submissions and service requests
  • Identify urgency and actionability
  • Automatically route or categorize each message

Within days of implementation, the company saw immediate improvements. The AI began identifying critical requests the moment they hit the inbox, enabling the team to act more quickly and confidently.

Results: Faster Turnaround, Happier Customers, and Major Efficiency Gains

The automation delivered measurable benefits across several operational areas:

✔ Faster Turnaround Times

Orders and service requests were prioritized instantly, reducing lag and allowing the team to process tasks more efficiently.

✔ Labor Savings equivalent to at least one full-time employee

By eliminating manual sorting, the company freed up substantial staff time — the equivalent workload of one FTE — allowing team members to shift to higher‑value activities.

✔ Improved Customer Experience

Clearer communication and faster responses led to higher satisfaction and fewer support complaints.

✔ Scalable Foundation for Growth

With AI handling the heavy lifting, the company gained an automation framework that can keep pace with future increases in volume.
