Logistics Data Quality use cases
Automated Order Entry and Data Quality Across Logistics
One data quality platform. Built for the entire logistics chain.
Logichainge helps shippers, carriers, freight forwarders and warehouses automate logistics order entry and improve data quality across their operations. Incoming transport data can be processed, validated, standardised and enriched before being delivered to existing TMS, ERP or WMS environments.
Logichainge has been successfully helping logistics teams increase their efficiency and reduce cost for many years, even since before the widespread use of AI. Whether it is a transport, warehouse or any other order, Logichainge automatically reads the email/file and sends the data into your system. All data is treated with the utmost caution, to ensure your data security.
Better logistics starts with better data
Poor logistics data creates problems far beyond the point where it first enters your organisation.
An incomplete delivery address can disrupt planning. An outdated time window can cause a failed collection. A missing order reference can lead to calls, emails and manual checks across several companies. Such issues affect shippers, carriers and freight forwarders alike, leading to income loss, wasted time and resources, and customer dissatisfaction throughout the entire logistical chain, on top of the time already spent on manual order entry.
Logistics data automation prevents these problems at the source.
LDQ extracts and validates incoming data, identifies missing or inconsistent information, enriches records and sends clean, structured data to your existing ERP, TMS, WMS or other operational systems. Logichainge is positioned as an add-on to existing logistics software rather than a replacement for it.
Shippers
Shippers use Logichainge to improve transport data quality before shipment information is sent to carriers and logistics partners. Automated validation and standardisation help reduce incomplete or inconsistent transport instructions.
Your logistics partners can only execute what they receive. LDQ helps ensure that addresses, references, delivery requirements and shipment instructions are complete and correct before an order is passed to a carrier, warehouse or forwarder.
Reduce delivery exceptions, limit repetitive communication and improve control over outbound logistics data.
Carriers
Carriers use Logichainge to automate incoming order entry from shippers and customers. Transport orders can be processed and checked before clean, structured data is delivered to the carrier's TMS.
Transport orders often arrive by email, document upload, portal or EDI, each with different structures and data standards.
LDQ captures, validates and standardises incoming order data before it enters your TMS. This reduces manual order entry, prevents poor-quality information from reaching planning and helps operational teams focus on transport execution.
Freight Forwarders
Freight forwarders use Logichainge to process orders from many customers and input formats. Customer-specific rules and data-quality checks convert varying order information into a consistent structure for downstream operations.
Freight forwarders depend on accurate information from both shippers and carriers. When data is missing or inconsistent, your team often has to find the answer.
LDQ validates and enriches order data across different customers, carriers and systems, giving your team a cleaner foundation for planning, coordination and customer service.
EDI alternative
EDI is a costly connection that only works if the customer is willing to keep putting in the effort. By using Logichainge, you can simulate such a connection, except cheaper, cleaner and more reliable.
EDI is a costly connection to set up. It requires effort from you to set up and effort from your client to maintain and to deliver complete, valid data. In over 35% of the cases, manual attention is required afterwards. Logichainge Data Quality gives similar levels of automation, except the setup and maintance are much less demanding. Moreover, your data quality is much better, because incoming data is completed and validated before being booked instead of after. LDQ can even be used to validate orders coming in through your existing EDI connections.
Software providers
Whether you are an ERP, WMS or TMS, you want to provide your customers to be satisfied with your tool. Your customers want to streamline their work and spend as little time on repetitive tasks as possible.
Automating processes in your software sounds simple, but rarely is. You have to be able to adapt to missing values, incorrect formats, new values, usability, and more. Logichainge Data Quality handles this for you. You can call our services anytime you need them, and we will deliver your client data that is optimised for your and their workflows. Set it up once, use it across all your clients. Reduce your customer's work, provide the service they are looking for.
