Vectrix automates order entry in logistics with AI

Antwerp-based startup Vectrix has raised €1.15 million in a seed funding round led by RDY Ventures. The company has developed a platform that uses artificial intelligence to automate the manual entry of transport orders, a traditionally slow and error-prone process.

Vectrix's platform aims to reduce order processing times from around eight minutes to two minutes, while minimizing errors. The system continuously learns from the data processed, identifying inconsistencies and suggesting corrections, for example, for specific requirements such as temperature conditions in pharmaceutical transport.

How the platform works

Vectrix integrates into the IT infrastructure as a pre-TMS (Transport Management System) layer, converting unstructured input (emails, data from ERP systems) into validated information ready for use in transport management systems. Each automated decision is transparent and based on customer configurations, historical data, and defined operating procedures. Logistics teams can review and approve pre-filled transport orders through a single interface.

The funding will be used to expand the team, grow in Europe, and further develop the product, with deeper integrations into transport management systems.

The problem of manual entry

Logistics companies handle a high volume of transport requests daily. Administrative teams often manually enter order details into transport management systems. This repetitive process takes several minutes per request and increases the risk of human error.
