AI nativeFreight control tower

The AI-native
control tower.

TwinShip is the freight control tower behind Sparrow XPL. Every order, carrier and invoice climbs the same floors on one consignment record, and Scout AI is wired into every one of them.

  1. 01

    One control tower. Orders come in at the ground floor, carriers go out from the roof, and Scout AI works every floor in between.

  2. 02

    Casing off. One consignment record runs up the core. Every floor writes to it.

  3. 03

    Floors apart. Each floor has a single job. The numbers match the parts list below.

  4. 04

    One order. A Shopify order is priced, booked with StarTrack and labelled. Each floor it touches lights up; nobody re-keys a thing.

  5. 05

    One exception. StarTrack scans a failed delivery. A case opens and the customer hears about it before they call.

  6. 06

    One invoice. Toll bills a $38.50 surcharge nobody quoted. Reconciliation catches it and raises the credit claim.

Dashed parts run only where installed.

This drawing needs WebGL. The parts list below covers every floor.

What each part does.

Execution, visibility and commercial control share the same integrations, rules and consignment record. Numbers match the markers on the drawing.

Connect

Orders in, carriers out, printers on the floor.

01

Integrations

Connect Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, NetSuite, SAP or your own API, or drop in a CSV. Orders arrive in one intake with the same shape, whatever system sent them.

02

Orders

Every order is normalised before it goes anywhere: addresses checked against the carrier network, dimensions and weights validated, dangerous goods and service levels flagged.

10

Carrier connectors

Australia Post, StarTrack, TNT, Toll, Couriers Please, Aramex, Hunter Express and 40+ more, over direct API, EDI or MachShip. One interface, whichever carrier wins the job.

12

Print Agent · where installed

A lightweight desktop agent on the warehouse PC picks up new labels and prints them to the right thermal printer automatically. No downloads, no clicks.

Execute

From order to booked, labelled and moving.

03

Rate shopping

Your negotiated rate cards, surcharges and fuel levies are priced in parallel for every order. Rules choose the cheapest, the fastest or the most reliable carrier.

04

Consignments

A carrier-compliant consignment is created once and booked directly with the carrier or through MachShip. The reference follows the freight everywhere.

05

Labels & manifests

Labels print in each carrier's format and manifests close out at the end of the day, grouped by carrier and account.

06

Tracking

Scans from every carrier are translated into one set of statuses on one timeline, so "in transit" means the same thing whoever is carrying it.

Control

What went wrong, what it cost, and proof of both.

07

Exceptions & helpdeskAI

The Case Automation Engine checks every live consignment every five minutes and opens a case when a rule matches. Scout drafts the carrier chase and the customer update, and the case resolves once the freight is delivered. See how it works

08

Invoice reconciliation

Carrier invoices are matched line by line to the quoted rate. Unquoted surcharges and weight disputes are flagged and turned into credit claims.

09

Scout AIAI

Scout reads every event across the network, flags ETA risk and answers questions in plain English: "Where is order 10482?" or "What did we spend with Toll last month?" Give it a Scout Task and it does the work on a schedule. See how it works

11

Consignment record

Every scan, cost, case and document lands on one record per consignment. Dashboards, DIFOT, carrier performance and executive reports all read from it.

AI nativeNot AI added

AI isn't one floor.
It's the wiring.

Scout AI was built into TwinShip, not bolted on. It works through the same tools the platform runs on, runs its own tasks on a schedule, and writes the chase emails when a rule opens a case.

02Scout AI & Scout Tasks

Ask it anything.
Or give it a job.

Scout is the AI inside TwinShip. Ask it a question in plain English, or hand it a Scout Task and it works the playbook on a schedule, then sends you the brief.

Scout AI ~200 tools Scout Task playbook Schedule
  1. 01

    One AI, every tool. Scout works through nearly 200 TwinShip tools, from consignments and cases to invoices and reports. It only sees what the person asking can see.

  2. 02

    Ask anything. "Is order 10482 on track?" Scout picks the tools, checks the scans and the cases, and answers in Scout Chat with the evidence.

  3. 03

    Give it a job. Pick a ready-made Scout Task like At-risk delivery watch, or write your own: the intent, what success looks like, the scope and where the brief goes.

  4. 04

    It runs on schedule. At 7:00 Scout works the playbook: finds the at-risk consignments, adds notes to their cases and escalates anything that needs a person.

  5. 05

    The brief comes to you. Results land in TwinShip, your inbox or Microsoft Teams. Every task has written limits: it can add notes and escalate, but it can't change rates or approve credits.

03Case Automation Engine

Problems found
before customers call.

The Case Automation Engine makes TwinShip proactive. It watches every live consignment, opens a case the moment a rule matches, and works it until the freight is delivered.

Every live consignment Trigger Conditions Actions Helpdesk case
  1. 01

    Every consignment, every five minutes. The engine re-checks every live consignment against your rules, so nobody has to go looking for problems.

  2. 02

    A trigger fires. Days past ETA, days before ETA, time in a stage, or time since the last update. TS0048213 has been silent for 48 hours, a day before it's due.

  3. 03

    Conditions narrow it down. Carrier, client, freight type, dangerous goods, lane DIFOT, or whether the client is watching. Only the consignments that matter get through.

  4. 04

    Actions run on their own. A case opens at High priority with an owner. Scout drafts the carrier chase and the customer update from the tracking timeline.

  5. 05

    Solved before anyone calls. Once it's delivered, the case resolves itself. New rules run in Shadow first, so you see what they would have done before they go live.

Dashed actions run only if the case stays stuck.
