AI alerts for shipment delays before your clients complain.
Solo freelancers in logistics lack affordable tools for tracking multiple carriers, forcing manual work that scales poorly as their gigs grow.
ShipPulse uses AI to predict and alert on delays across multiple carriers by analyzing historical data and real-time status. Freelancers get proactive SMS/email warnings with mitigation tips, preventing client escalations. It focuses on risk reduction, scaling with gig volume without added effort.
