| Status | Active |
The business problem
Aramex operates global express, freight, and logistics across dozens of markets. Two areas consumed disproportionate manual effort:
- Freight quotation. Inbound RFQs arrive by email in varied formats. Quoting requires checking rates across Incoterms (EXW through DDP), applying margins, and responding within SLA — all manually.
- Operational CX and settlements. The standard logistics pain points: WISMO, dispute resolution, POD validation, vendor settlement reconciliation — all requiring human agents stitching context from multiple systems.
The solution: Agent marketplace
Aramex is deploying a multi-agent approach across four domains:
| Agent | What it does |
|---|---|
| Atlas (Control Tower) | Operational visibility and anomaly detection across shipments |
| Vera (Disputes) | Dispute intake, evidence gathering, resolution recommendation with HITL |
| Nexa (Settlements) | POD validation, invoice reconciliation, automated vendor payouts |
| Clara (CX) | Inbound customer query resolution across channels |
| Freight Quotation Agent | End-to-end RFQ handling — intake, rate lookup, margin assembly, quote generation |
Freight Quotation Agent (deep dive)
The Freight Quotation Agent is a standout use case specific to Aramex. It handles:
- RFQ intake — parses inbound email with shipment details
- Data extraction — pulls origin, destination, commodity, weight, dimensions, Incoterm
- Rate lookup — queries rate databases for applicable tariffs
- Margin assembly — applies customer-specific and route-specific margins
- Quote generation — produces a formatted quotation ready for customer response
Covers all 11 Incoterms (EXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DAP, DPU, DDP), each with different cost component structures.
Why CS folks should study this
- The “agent marketplace” model. Aramex isn’t buying one agent — they’re buying a platform of agents. This is the end-state for large enterprise customers: multiple specialized agents, one orchestration layer.
- Freight quotation as a use case. High-volume, rules-heavy, email-native — a pattern that applies to any freight forwarder or 3PL. See RFQ + Freight AI.
- Multi-domain deployment. CX + settlements + control tower + freight automation in one engagement. Good example of how to expand scope within an account.
