MendriX, together with partner Freightdog, is introducing an AI-powered link between Microsoft Outlook and MendriX TMS. With the new Outlook add-in, a planner or inside sales representative converts an incoming e-mail into a complete transport order in one click. The result: less retyping and searching, fewer errors and more time for customers and planning.
Joost Cassee, managing director of Freightdog: "AI only works if it matches the way people actually work. That's why we have tailored our models to each customer and integrated them into the MendriX structure so that Outlook is effortlessly part of the TMS workflow. No two transport companies work the same and they don't have to. Our approach allows us to fine-tune for each customer and make AI really valuable in day-to-day operations."
Here's how it works:
- Recognition: open the Freightdog add-in in Outlook (web or desktop) and let AI automatically recognise all relevant order data.
- Replenish: Is something missing? Send a complete replenishment request directly from the same e-mail.
- Creation: Everything is right? One click and MendriX TMS creates the order.
"We combine a trained AI model with the MendriX structure," says Freightdog. "For each customer, we can fine-tune, because no two transport companies work the same."
Why this is so valuable
- Time savings: fewer clicks, copies and searches.
- Increase yield: Faster response times and higher conversion on transport request.
- Happy employees: Less manual work.
- Fewer errors: uniform data capture, less interpretation.
- Seamless workflow: Outlook remains the starting point, MendriX TMS remains the heart of order-to-profit.
