How are AI voice agents used in logistics?

Logistics teams use AI voice agents to confirm deliveries, reschedule missed drops, answer shipment status calls and pass exceptions to a human dispatcher. Bolna's COD confirmation and customer support templates cover the most common customer calls in English and Hindi. Driver and dispatch calls are built from the same parts: a prompt, shipment details passed as context variables, and custom functions that read and update your systems.

How do you set up an AI voice agent for logistics?

  1. Log in to Agent Studio at platform.bolna.ai and import the COD confirmation or customer support template, or start a new agent for driver calls.
  2. Write the prompt for your process and pass shipment ID, address, slot and driver name as context variables. Add the languages your customers and drivers speak.
  3. Add a custom function that calls your tracking or TMS API, and a transfer call tool that routes exceptions to your dispatch number.
  4. Connect a phone number, then upload the day's shipments as a batch CSV with auto-retry and calling hours set, or set up inbound on your support line.
  5. Set up extractions such as delivery confirmed, new slot and issue type, and send them to your system through a webhook after each call.

Upload the shipment list as a CSV batch from the dashboard or the Batch API. Each column is passed to the agent as context, and you can run the batch now or schedule it.

The transfer call tool hands the live call to a dispatcher or support number. An optional pre-call webhook sends the reason to your system before the transfer happens.

Every call produces a transcript, recording and the extracted fields you define. A webhook can send them to your backend, to Zapier or Make, or into a Google Sheet.
