Behnke replaced disconnected spreadsheets and legacy tools with a single logistics platform they own, then put AI to work on supplier forecasting, shortage detection, and executive reporting.
Behnke’s operations spanned multiple warehouses, dozens of suppliers, complex carrier relationships, and thousands of customer shipments, all managed through disconnected spreadsheets and legacy systems.
Supplier shortages went undetected until they caused fulfillment delays. Carrier performance was tracked anecdotally. And previous SaaS tools had locked operational data inside vendor platforms, blocking the integrations and analysis Behnke needed.
A logistics operations platform Behnke owns outright, with an AI layer that turns operational data into prioritized actions.
Unified orders across warehouses, with lot, serial, and location-level inventory that eliminates manual reconciliation.
Live GPS tracking through Samsara, multi-stop routing, carrier assignment, and VIN-level tracking.
Shortage detection, forecast-accuracy scoring by supplier, and automated weekly past-due notifications.
AI synthesizes shipment, forecast, and shortage metrics into prioritized recommendations for leadership.
Because Behnke owns its data architecture, AI analyzes the complete operational history, not a vendor’s export, and the value compounds as the dataset grows.
Executive summaries of supplier performance with specific recommendations: which suppliers to review, where to adjust safety stock.
Forecasted shortages surfaced days earlier, with past-due items flagged to procurement automatically.
Built on Ruby LLM, so Behnke can switch AI providers without changing application code.
