Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the system negotiate rates without overpaying?
Vedika is guided by Ved, who monitors spot market rates, historic transaction data, and active truck capacity on Intugine Discover. Ved establishes the target rate and a strict ceiling price, ensuring Vedika eliminates 15–25% broker premiums.
Q: What happens if Vedika cannot find a truck?
If the initial transporter list is exhausted, Cruise™ triggers a structured escalation workflow — automatically broadening the sourcing criteria or alerting your logistics managers with a detailed log of all attempted calls and reasons for rejection.
Q: Can Cruise handle vehicle procurement when an in-transit breakdown occurs?
Yes. When Intugine Discover detects a breakdown via telemetry, Cruise™ automatically triggers a replacement sourcing workflow, booking a new truck in under 15 minutes to protect your delivery SLA.
Q: How does this system help reduce logistics team headcount?
By automating repetitive phone calls, rate negotiations, and booking confirmations, Cruise™ achieves an 85%+ autonomous resolution rate. This allows companies to reduce spot procurement headcount by up to 70%, freeing staff to focus on strategic carrier management.
Q: How long does implementation take?
A standard enterprise integration takes 1–2 weeks. Payback period is typically 3–4 months for operations running 500+ trips per day.
