The question you are asking

What does an AI answering service change for a haulier or a logistics provider?

Transport and logistics are trades where the phone rings mostly for recurring questions: where a delivery has got to, how to rebook a visit, what time the loading bay opens, how to get a quote. Cantya takes these inbound calls, answers from the company’s instructions, books delivery or collection appointments and passes on the rest.

At a haulier, a parcel carrier or a logistics provider, calls come in waves. In the morning, when the rounds leave; at the end of the day, when recipients get home and find a missed delivery card. Operations staff answer between two driver assignments, and every call interrupts a task that needed attention.

Cantya cannot see your TMS or parcel tracking. It answers with what you taught it (loading bay hours, usual lead times, rebooking conditions, documents to show at collection) and, for a specific shipment, takes down the reference and passes it on with the caller’s details. Quote requests arrive with the origin, destination, volume and desired date.

In practice

How it gets set up

  1. 01

    You describe your flows and your instructions

    Loading bay opening hours, areas served, usual lead times, rules after a missed delivery, documents to show for a collection. Cantya uses them to answer and invents nothing beyond.

  2. 02

    You open delivery and collection slots

    In your calendar, each appointment type has its length and capacity: a home delivery, a loading bay booking for a pallet collection. Cantya only offers free slots.

  3. 03

    A question about a shipment goes with its reference

    Tracking or card number, name, address, call-back number. Operations receive a complete request and check in their own tools.

  4. 04

    Quote requests arrive qualified

    Origin and destination towns, nature and volume of the goods, desired date, delivery constraints. The summary goes to the sales team by email or as a row in your Google Sheets, and they call back with everything in hand.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know.

Another question?Our team will answer, with your use cases in front of them.Talk to the team
Can Cantya tell a recipient where their parcel is?

No, it has no access to real-time tracking. It gives the usual lead times you told it, takes down the tracking number and passes the request to operations, who reply with the exact information.

Can delivery appointments be handed over to it?

Yes. In your calendar, you create an appointment type for deliveries, with its length and the number of visits possible in the same slot. Cantya offers free slots, books the appointment, and moves or cancels it if the recipient calls back.

What happens when a driver asks to talk to someone?

Cantya notes the reason for the call, then transfers it to the number you designated, operations for example. If no transfer is set up, it takes a complete message that goes straight to the team.

How are quote requests handled outside office hours?

Cantya also answers in the evening and at weekends. It takes down the route, the goods, the volume and the date, then sends the summary to your tools. Your sales team calls back the next working day with a complete request.

The next call gets answered.
