Logistics & supply chain
Which order exceptions can a rule settle, and which need your team?
For shippers, 3PLs and freight operators. Most exceptions follow rules someone already knows; the cost is in handling each one by hand, and in the ones handled differently every time.
What to compile, what to keep on a model, what to leave alone
Typical calls, not a verdict on your workflow. The Workflow Diagnostic decides yours, on your own cases.

-
Carrier selection
Compile into codeRate, lane and service-level rules with a right answer for each shipment, and a record of why it was chosen.

What your regulator or auditor will ask
Customs and trade rules differ by country and change often, and your broker and compliance team own them. What we help with is showing which version of a rule made each decision, so a question from an auditor or a customs authority has an answer.

Old system holding the rules?
Warehouse and transport systems often hold routing and exception rules nobody has written down. Specify them before you migrate.
