Logistics Tracking Chatbot—AWB Status, ETA, and Exceptions from Your TMS Truth Data

Teenva AI & Digital Ventures builds logistics tracking chatbots for 3PLs, couriers, freight forwarders, and ecommerce shippers from Bangalore, India. Customers and consignees ask “Where is my shipment?”—the bot returns live AWB status, ETA, and exception reasons from your TMS, plus policy answers on delays, damage claims, and COD—via web, mobile app, and WhatsApp.

“Where is my order?” tickets flood support during peak season. Teenva combines tracking lookup tools, RAG on your SOPs, and proactive status pushes—fed by route optimization ETAs and demand forecasting capacity context (scoped).

What the chatbot handles

TopicExamples
Track shipmentAWB + phone/OTP → in-transit, out for delivery, delivered
ETAExpected delivery date/time from your routing engine
ExceptionsDelay, RTO, address issue, customs hold (scoped)—with next steps
PODDelivery proof link, receiver name (auth required)
Policy FAQSLA, serviceable pincodes, packaging rules, insurance
Claims (scoped)Damage/missing process—RAG on claim SOP, not auto-approve
COD (India)COD amount, refusal, remittance timeline (scoped)
B2B shipper (scoped)Bulk manifest status, pickup schedule
Internal dispatcher (scoped)Driver contact, hub inventory snapshot via tools

Answers use live tracking API—not guessed statuses from LLM memory. Different from route optimization (plan routes) and warehouse intelligence (inside DC)—tracking bot optimizes support deflection and WISMO experience.
