Fleet and route planning: composition of vehicle shifts with driving-time constraints (Reg. EC 561/2006), urban constraints (municipal low-emission zones), ADR for dangerous goods, and customer delivery windows.
Logistics & Transportation
An AI agent squad for the logistics and transportation industry.
Polyant is the framework to build AI agent squads for logistics operators, couriers, port and airport managers: route optimisation under regulatory driving-time constraints, automatic extraction of customs documents, detection of delivery anomalies before they become complaints, coordination of access to docks and warehouses. Consistent with Reg. EC 561/2006, EU Customs Code 952/2013, ADR, GDPR.
Polyant puts an AI agent squad to work on the logistics operator's operational flows:
- daily route planning with regulatory constraints (tachograph driving times, municipal low-emission zones, ADR dangerous goods) and operational constraints (truck capacity, customer delivery windows); structured extraction of customs document data (SAD, ICS2, AEO) to accelerate practice management
- weekly identification of delivery anomaly patterns by area or carrier before they turn into complaint peaks; coordination of bookings for docks, warehouses, and sorting centres with slot and priority handling
- the runtime audit registry stays queryable via standard SQL on the operator's database for customs inspection, head of operations review, and transport supervisory bodies
03 LOGISTICS WORKFLOWS
Four typical contexts of the logistics operator.
The areas where the agent squad supports the operations and customs team.
Customs documentation: structured extraction of SAD, ICS2 pre-arrival, AEO registry from customer-uploaded documents, to reduce clearance times and compilation errors.
Delivery anomaly detection: weekly identification of systematic delays, problematic areas, and complaint clusters by carrier or geographic area before they escalate to the customer.
Dock and warehouse coordination: slot booking for port docks, loading bays, and sorting centres, with priority handling for urgencies and strategic customers.
The agent squad combines vertical patterns calibrated on the regulated vocabulary of transport with horizontal patterns (audit, compliance, escalation) that work under the same configuration and the same registry.
04 LOGISTICS SQUAD
Five coordinated agents for routes, customs, deliveries, and access.
The cargo cycle in a logistics operator is not a single step. It is an end-to-end flow across route planning, customs clearance, delivery, and dock coordination. Five coordinated agents that do their part, under the same configuration and the same audit registry.
01 FLEET
Fleet Schedule Optimizer
Route and shift optimisation with regulatory constraints (driving times Reg. EC 561/2006, port rules, urban low-emission zones, ADR for dangerous goods).

Need other agents for the logistics operator? We build them together.
Five coordinated agents for routes, customs, deliveries, and access are an example. Every operator has different systems (proprietary TMS, digital tachograph, customs management software), specific regulations (regions, ports, customs, transport authorities), and different internal procedures. The agents that truly serve get built inside the project.
06 REGULATORY MAPPING
Where the agents meet transport regulations.
Transport regulation is wide: driving times, customs, dangerous goods, urban traffic. Polyant does not promise full compliance: it states what the product does day to day to support the requirements the customer's team has to meet.
Reg. EC 561
Driving times and Smart Tachograph 2
Driving times and rest periods for professional drivers, with mandatory Smart Tachograph 2 on newly registered vehicles. Fleet Schedule Optimizer composes shifts within Reg. EC 561/2006 constraints. Agent: Fleet Schedule Optimizer.
UCC 952/2013
EU Customs Code
Customs management of extra-EU imports and exports: SAD, ICS2 pre-arrival, AEO registry. Structured extraction accelerates compilation and reduces errors. Agent: Customs Document Extractor.
ADR
ADR, dangerous goods
Transport of dangerous goods with classification, labelling, transport documentation, and dedicated routing. Fleet Schedule Optimizer applies ADR constraints to route planning. Agent: Fleet Schedule Optimizer.
AI Act
AI Act: traffic management and worker management
Road traffic management and systems that assign tasks or assess driver performance fall among the high-risk systems. For Fleet Schedule Optimizer in worker management mode, union agreement or labour-inspectorate authorisation and preventive worker notice must be planned. Agents: Fleet Schedule Optimizer, AI Act High-Risk Validator.
GDPR
GDPR and driver geolocation
Vehicle GPS traceability is personal data of the driver: union agreement or authorisation and preventive notice are decisive. Agent: Audit Recorder for the access registry.
NIS2
NIS2 for transport operators
Transport operators qualified as essential entities fall within the NIS2 perimeter: information security and incident notification to CSIRT. Agent: NIS2 Incident Reporter.

Two questions from logistics heads.
TMS (Transportation Management System) and logistics management systems are heterogeneous. The integration is delivered during the project by the Exelab team.
The typical pattern for a vertical logistics squad (with integrations on TMS, tachograph Reg. EC 561/2006, customs Reg. EU 952/2013) is 12-22 weeks. For a single first agent with smaller integrations, the estimate drops to 4-8 weeks. The duration is defined in discovery on the real case.
From a 30-minute conversation to the squad in production.
A 30-45 minute conversation to understand how Polyant for logistics applies to the operator's case and how long it takes to bring the routes-customs-delivery squad into production.
