Phone agents that know your loads

Use cases

The calls that eat
your team's day.

Most calls into a transportation business are the same handful of questions. A voice agent answers them instantly, so your people can focus on the calls that need judgment.

Inbound

"Where's my truck?"

Customers get live load status and ETAs, any time of day, without waiting on hold.

Inbound

After-hours dispatch

Drivers reach an agent that knows their trip, solves the simple issues and escalates the rest.

Inbound and outbound

Appointment scheduling

Book, confirm and reschedule pickup and delivery appointments with shippers and receivers.

Outbound

Carrier check calls

Call carriers and drivers for location and ETA updates, and log the answers back to your TMS.

Outbound

Invoice follow-up

Friendly reminders on open invoices, with the details on hand and a payment link sent by text.

Inbound

Front desk and routing

Answer the main line, understand what the caller needs and route them to the right person.

How we build

Built around your operation,
not a script template.

Every agent is designed with your team, connected to your systems, and tuned on real calls after launch.

01

Discover

We listen to how calls are handled today and pick the ones worth automating first.

02

Design

We write the conversation, the rules, the hand-off points and the voice your callers will hear.

03

Connect

We connect the agent to your TMS, phone system and Nodal49 apps so it answers with real data.

04

Launch and tune

We go live, review transcripts and keep improving the agent as your business changes.

Capabilities

Sounds natural.
Works with real data.

Each agent can be configured with the capabilities your calls need.

Natural conversation

Callers speak normally. The agent understands load numbers, addresses and dates, and handles interruptions.

Live data lookups

Look up loads, trips, appointments and invoices during the call, and write updates back.

Warm hand-off

Transfer to the right person with a summary of the call, so callers never repeat themselves.

Transcripts and summaries

Every call is logged with a transcript, a short summary and the actions taken.

Follow-up by text or email

Send confirmations, tracking links and payment links after the call.

Guardrails

Clear rules on what the agent can say and do, and when it must hand over to a person.

With Nodal49

Even smarter
with the rest of the suite.

Voice agents work with any system that has an API. If you already run Nodal49 products, they can use that data from day one.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Will callers know they're talking to an AI?

We recommend the agent introduces itself as an automated assistant. Callers can always ask to speak to a person.

Can callers still reach a person?

Yes. You decide when the agent transfers a call, and it passes along a summary so your team can pick up where it left off.

Which systems can the agent connect to?

Any system with an API, including your TMS and other Nodal49 products. We'll review your setup during discovery.

How long does it take to launch?

It depends on the calls you want to automate and the systems involved. We'll give you a timeline after the discovery call.

Do we keep our phone numbers?

We'll work with your current phone setup. Talk to us about your numbers and call routing during discovery.
