In-App Logistics Assistant for Smarter Logistics AI Inside Your TMS - Shipwell
A Logistics AI Assistant Built Into Your Everyday
Stop jumping between menus and reports just to find basic answers. Shipwell’s In-App AI Assistant connects straight to your live data and answers your team's day-to-day operational, financial, and reporting questions directly. From pulling live shipment statuses to verifying contract rates, the assistant turns everyday data lookups into simple conversations.
Meet Your Logistics AI Assistant
Shipwell’s In-App AI Assistant is a logistics-focused conversational assistant embedded directly in the platform. Think of it as a faster, more intuitive way to interact with your TMS–using conversational language instead of navigation. It can help with:
- Shipment Tracking And Status Updates: Instantly pull live locations, ETAs, and missing documentation.
- Carrier And Contract Details: Quickly verify assigned carriers, lanes, and contracted rates.
- Invoice And Financial Tracking: Monitor freight invoices and see their approval level in the pipeline.
- Order And Line-Item Visibility: Search PO's and instantly see their connection to active shipments.
- Facility And Scheduling Parameters: Look up dock hours, upcoming appointments, and routing guide rules.
The logistics assistant operates on a secure layer via the Shipwell MCP Server. Using this bridge respects user permissions, and gives your team total network visibility without the risk.
Too Many Clicks. Too Much Context Switching.
Even the best TMS workflows slow teams down when:
- Simple actions require multiple screens and steps
- Users have to remember where to go and how to do things
- Reporting and data questions interrupt execution
- New team members face a steep learning curve
Every interruption and distraction steals time from real logistics work. Our In-App AI Assistant frees you to focus.

Once activated, the In-App AI Assistant is always available inside Shipwell, no extra training, setup per user or new workflows to learn.
- Click the blue icon in the bottom-right corner
- Ask a question or make a request
- Review and confirm when required
- Get results in seconds
Helping Teams Move Faster
Most TMS platforms force users to choose between power and simplicity. The In-App AI Assistant eliminates that trade-off by making complex actions feel effortless.
Your Assistant, Your Brand
The In-App AI Assistant is configurable through AI Studio, giving authorized users control over how it shows up for your team:
- Give the assistant a new name (it’s Swifty by default)
- Update the avatar to match your brand
- Customize the first message users see when starting a conversation
Enterprise-Grade Security & Data Protection
Like having a conversation with yourself inside a vault: whenever you chat with the In-App AI Assistant, your information is protected.
- SOC 2® compliant security practices
- Role-based access and authentication
- Audit trails for actions taken
- No AI model training on customer data
Any conversational AI tool applies large language models (LLMs) to display information clearly. Our logistics assistant makes use of Anthropic’s Claude, because of their robust security measures and data training policies. Your data remains protected and under your control.
Smarter Conversations, Faster Than Ever Before
The In-App AI Assistant turns everyday logistics tasks into simple conversations–helping your team move faster, with less friction without leaving your TMS.
