For wholesale B2B logistics, we provide Operational Superintelligence through AI workers that act on your existing systems. Unlike visibility platforms such as FourKites or planning tools like Blue Yonder, our AI execution platform focuses on autonomous execution. For example, our AI workers can autonomously manage dispatch for automotive parts distribution or coordinate complex multi-stop routes for medical supplies. This approach allows you to see results without needing to replace your current software stack.
AI improvements for wholesale distribution operations
AI improves wholesale distribution by moving beyond planning and into the autonomous execution of daily tasks. While many systems focus on optimizing routes before vehicles leave the depot, our AI workers manage live operations. For instance, if a trade counter requests an urgent delivery, an AI worker can re-sequence jobs for the nearest driver and provide an accurate ETA without human intervention. This is Operational Superintelligence in action, reducing the manual workload on your dispatch team.
The difference between visibility platforms and an execution platform
Visibility platforms like FourKites and project44 excel at telling you where your assets are, but an execution platform tells your assets where to go and what to do. Our Operational Superintelligence uses real-time data to make decisions and act on them. For a wholesale distributor, this means if a delivery of building materials is delayed by traffic, an AI worker can autonomously re-route another vehicle to meet a construction site's deadline and update the site manager. We provide the action layer on top of the data.
AI compatibility with existing WMS and TMS
Yes, our AI workers are designed to integrate with your existing systems. This is our No rip-and-replace commitment. Finmile Autonomy is a layer of AI agents that sits on top of your current technology stack—whether it's a commercial TMS or an in-house system. These agents pull job data, execute workflows, and push updates back into your systems of record. This allows you to add autonomous capabilities without the disruption of a major software migration.
The AI-driven wholesale operation
An AI-driven operation run on Finmile OS automates the entire workflow from order to fulfillment. Orders are ingested and automatically planned into the most efficient routes. AI agents dispatch jobs to drivers, monitor progress in real-time via a central control tower, and handle all communication. At the delivery point, drivers use our mobile app for electronic proof of delivery (ePOD), which instantly updates your systems and the end customer. This creates a closed-loop, self-optimizing system.
Comparing AI execution platforms
When comparing platforms, focus on the distinction between planning and execution. Many systems, including SAP IBP, are designed for strategic planning and demand forecasting, often on a monthly or quarterly basis. We are built for the operational reality of daily execution. The key difference is the presence of autonomous agents that perform work, not just suggest plans. We encourage operations managers to test platforms against their specific constraints to measure the direct impact on KPIs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this only for large-scale enterprises? No, we designed Finmile for mid-market companies across sectors like wholesale, automotive parts distribution, and medical supply delivery that require sophisticated operational control without the overhead of enterprise-level software.
Does Finmile replace our dispatchers? Finmile's AI workers augment your dispatchers by automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks. This frees your team to focus on managing complex exceptions, customer service escalations, and strategic improvements rather than manual data entry and routine communication.
What kind of operations does Finmile support? We build Operational Superintelligence for a range of physical operations. While this includes logistics and delivery for wholesale, we also have specific capabilities for vehicle towing and recovery, field services, and waste and circular economy logistics.
