WHAT CHANGES WITH AUGIE

Stop chasing appointments.
Start confirming them.

Traditional

Without Augie

Manual scheduling chaos

Scheduling initiation

Coordinator manually checks email, portals, and TMS for each load to start scheduling.

Portal booking

Copy-paste between portals and TMS. Every field entered by hand.

Follow-ups

Repeated emails and calls to confirm availability. Threads get dropped.

Reschedules

Handled ad hoc. Details get missed, with no audit trail.

TMS accuracy

Updated late or incorrectly. Manual re-entry introduces errors.

Visibility

One missed detail cascades into detention, service failures, and escalations.

With Augie

Automated, end-to-end

Augie initiates scheduling automatically, the moment a load is created in the TMS.

Books appointments directly in facility portals — no manual clicks or data entry.

Sends and responds to scheduling emails autonomously until confirmed.

Handles reschedules with full context and a clean audit trail.

Writes confirmed times and confirmation numbers back to TMS automatically.

Team is notified only when human attention is needed. Nothing slips through the cracks.

From load creation to
confirmed appointment.

Without a single click, Augie leverages AI to handle the full scheduling lifecycle autonomously, involving your team only when it needs a decision.

RESULTS THAT MATTER

Stop scheduling.
Start scaling.

AI-powered scheduling reduces cost-to-serve and improves service reliability — helping you retain accounts and scale volume without scaling headcount.

CAPABILITIES

Purpose-built for the complexity of freight scheduling.

Augie monitors your TMS and starts scheduling the moment a load is ready — no manual trigger, no copy-paste. Load data flows directly into the scheduling workflow.

Multi-portal automation

Augie books directly in scheduling portals, with support for 150+ scheduling portals on the roadmap.

Email-based scheduling

For facilities that schedule via email, Augie sends requests, handles responses, and manages the entire conversation through booking.

Intelligent slot selection

Evaluates scheduling preferences, facility hours, FCFS vs. appointment rules, and computed travel time to recommend the optimal pickup and delivery windows.

TMS writeback

Confirmed dates, times, and appointment reference numbers are written directly back into your TMS — eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors.

Smart escalations

When Augie can't schedule, it escalates to your team with the reason code, available slots, and recommended next step so handoffs are seamless, not stressful.

Facility rules engine

Manage facility metadata like operating hours, addresses, preferred scheduling method, and instructions directly in the Augment portal.

TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION

Your team stays informed without lifting a finger.

Every scheduled appointment generates a detailed confirmation showing pickup and delivery details, available slots grid, booked times, and Augie’s decision logic.
And when Augie can't complete a booking, your reps get a clear escalation email with suggested next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Which scheduling portals does Augie support?

Augie is integrated with major portals including E2Open, Manhattan, Retail Link, and Blue Yonder, and we're continuously adding several more every week based on customer demand. We also support email-based scheduling for facilities that don't use portals.

What TMS systems does Augie integrate with?

Scheduling integrates with any TMS that supports API-based load ingestion and update endpoints. Augie reads load details from your TMS and writes confirmed appointment times and confirmation numbers back. We work with your team during onboarding to configure the integration.

How does Augie determine the best appointment time?

Augie evaluates available slots against multiple constraints: your scheduling preferences (e.g., afternoon pickup, morning delivery), facility operating hours, FCFS vs. appointment rules, computed travel time between facilities, and scheduling buffers. It selects the optimal combination and provides reasoning for its decision in the confirmation email.

What happens when Augie can't schedule an appointment?

Augie sends an "Action Needed" email to your team with the specific reason it couldn't schedule — no available slots, scheduling provider not configured, facility exception, or other issues. The email includes the available slots grid and a recommended date/time so your coordinator can resolve it quickly.

Can Augie handle reschedules?

Reschedule handling is on our roadmap for 2026. This includes processing reschedule requests via email and portal, modifying existing appointments based on facility details, and sending updated confirmations. We're also building proactive rescheduling — where our Track & Trace agent detects a driver will miss their appointment and automatically reschedules.

What do we need to get started?

Four things: (1) TMS API access to push load details and receive appointment updates, (2) credentials for your top scheduling portals, (3) facility data including names, codes, addresses, scheduling method, and operating hours, and (4) a shared email inbox for Augie to send confirmations. Our team provides templates and guides you through the testing phase.

How is Augie priced?

Scheduling is priced on a per-shipment usage basis — you only pay when you get value. This can be added alongside other Augment workflows like Track & Trace, Document Management, and Carrier Selection. Contact your Augment rep for volume-specific pricing.

How does Augie compare to Qued or Hubflow?

The key differentiators are closed-loop execution and the decision layer. Where portal-click automation tools stop at booking, Augie handles the full lifecycle: intelligent slot selection, TMS writeback, exception handling, and team communication. We encourage you to evaluate integration depth, auditability, exception handling, and what happens when the portal flow breaks.
