INDUSTRIES → LOGISTICS & 3PL

AI teammates for the operators who move everyone else's product.

Routina was built inside a working healthcare 3PL — Flexio, delivering for Baxter International, Smith & Nephew, MMM, and Puerto Rico's largest pharmacy networks. The same platform now runs order intake, dispatch, routing, driver networks, proof of delivery, pricing, and invoicing for 3PLs, couriers, and last-mile carriers — on top of the TMS and WMS you already run.

PAINS → SOLUTIONS

What slows a logistics operation down, and what Routina does about it.

From the outside it's one job — get the thing from A to B. From the inside it's dispatch before sunrise, re-routing when stop 14 cancels, driver chats, status calls, and invoicing at month-end. Here's where the time goes, and where Routina takes it back.

PAIN

High staff turnover

Drivers and dispatchers turn over constantly. Every departure takes routes, client quirks, and process knowledge with it.

SOLUTION

Knowledge that stays when people leave

Each client's ordering, pricing, routing, and invoicing rules are configured once in Routina, not kept in someone's head. Agents keep dispatch and support moving through every resignation, and new hires step into a process that's already running.

PAIN

Doing more with the same team

Volume grows faster than headcount. Dispatchers spend the morning building routes by hand and the afternoon answering calls.

SOLUTION

Operate more efficiently

Agents build, push, and re-sequence routes and answer status questions. On a 47-stop day, the dispatcher spent 20 minutes on exceptions instead of 4 hours managing the route.

PAIN

Hurricanes, outages, and people out

A storm, a power outage, a dispatcher on vacation — and the morning dispatch depends on whoever is left.

SOLUTION

Business continuity

Agents work around the clock with the full history of every client, order, and route. When a person or a site is out, the work is picked up by the team and the agents — and nothing depends on who was on shift.

PAIN

Not enough drivers when volume spikes

Peak days, new clients, and driver call-outs leave routes uncovered, and growth is capped by the fleet you can hire.

SOLUTION

Access to the Last-Mile Management Module

An on-demand network of independent and staff drivers — routed, verified, priced, and paid on the same platform — so capacity scales with volume instead of headcount. See the module ↓

PAIN

Every client orders differently

One client sends an API feed, one sends email, one calls at 7am. Dispatchers retype all of it.

SOLUTION

One order queue

Order Intake normalizes API, email, and phone orders into one standard record, with each client's routing and handoff parameters applied.

PAIN

Month-end invoicing rebuilt from memory

Pricing rules live in someone's head, and invoices get reconstructed from manifests and spreadsheets.

SOLUTION

Priced and invoiced from the same records

Pricing Agent prices every order against the client's contract. Invoice Manager generates invoices from the same records, so month-end is a review, not a reconstruction.

PAIN

"Where's my package?"

Clients and recipients ask for status on whatever channel they happen to use, all day long.

SOLUTION

Status answered from live data

Customer Updates answers status questions 24/7 via WhatsApp and SMS from live GPS data, and escalates only the ones that need a human.

PAIN

Failed deliveries and billing disputes

A missed stop turns into a re-attempt, a client complaint, and an argument about what happened.

SOLUTION

Proof for every stop

POD Manager captures signature, photo, timestamp, and GPS for each stop, schedules re-attempts, and exports the record in seconds when a client disputes a charge.

THREE OPERATIONS, ONE PLATFORM

Where Routina runs in logistics.

These are the three logistics shapes we see most. They share a platform but not a workflow. Each has its own agents, integrations, and customer base.

Healthcare Logistics

Clinical-priority deliveries, pharmaceutical cold-chain, hospital supply, home care dispatch. Integrates with EHRs, pharmacy systems, and clinical scheduling tools. Built first inside Flexio for Baxter and Smith & Nephew.

AGENTS
Dispatch Coordinator Routing Optimizer Driver Comms BOL Manager Cold Chain Monitor Exception Handler

Dispatch Coordinator rebuilds 47 daily stops when a clinical priority delivery comes in at 7am — every driver gets the new sequence on their phone, customer ETAs update automatically.

Last-Mile Delivery

Multi-stop residential and B2B delivery, e-commerce fulfillment, fragmented routes across urban and suburban geographies. Integrates with Google Maps, OnFleet, Twilio, WhatsApp Business, and customer-facing tracking tools.

AGENTS
Routing Optimizer Driver Comms Customer Updates POD Manager Failed Delivery Handler

Customer Updates fields 'where's my package?' messages 24/7 via WhatsApp — answers from live GPS data, escalates only the ones that need a human.

3PL Warehousing & Fulfillment

Multi-client warehousing, B2B distribution, and middle-mile moves. Inbound receiving, inventory allocation, client inventory visibility, shrink monitoring, and SLA tracking — plus cross-border operations through the ARK Logistics partnership (Grupo Rizek).

AGENTS
Inbound Receiving Inventory Allocator Carrier Coordinator Business Intelligence BOL Manager

Business Intelligence mirrors inventory from scheduled WMS updates throughout the day and flags variance against the client's shrink threshold before it becomes a year-end dispute.

SOLUTION

The Last-Mile Management Module: your driver network, run like a gig platform.

The module manages the drivers who make every delivery: an on-demand network of independent and staff drivers, routed, verified, priced, and paid by the same platform that runs your order intake and dispatch.

Gig-Economy Driver Network

Build an on-demand pool of independent and staff drivers. Open routes and stops are offered to qualified drivers nearby, who accept from their phone — so capacity scales with volume instead of headcount.

Routing & Dispatch

Stops sequenced by geography, time windows, vehicle capacity, and priority. Cancellations and same-day orders re-route the day automatically, with live status for dispatch and clients.

Proof of Delivery (POD)

Signature, photo, timestamp, and GPS captured on the driver's phone for every stop — attached to the order as evidence for invoicing and disputes.

Driver Compliance

Licenses, insurance, vehicle documents, background checks, and training tracked with expiration alerts. A driver whose documents lapse stops receiving routes until they're renewed.

Delivery Pricing

Rate rules by client, zone, service level, distance, and surcharges — applied automatically to every stop, so what the client is billed and what the driver earns are consistent.

Driver Payables

Driver pay calculated from completed, verified stops — mileage and adjustments included. Payouts batched for approval, with a statement every driver can see.

ORIGIN

We didn't theorize logistics from outside. We built it inside a 3PL.

Routina was built inside Flexio — a healthcare logistics operation delivering across Puerto Rico for Baxter International, Smith & Nephew, MMM, Triple-S, and the largest specialty pharmacies on the island. Every Routina agent in this section was first run against real clinical SLAs, real customer escalations, real driver shortages, real exception cases — before it was made available to anyone else.

That's the difference between logistics software written by software people and logistics software written inside an operation that runs the routes every morning. The platform survives a 6am dispatch under pressure, not just a quarterly demo.

IN PRACTICE

Two logistics workflows, start to finish.

Not a feature list. Two actual flows our agents run today — what each step is, which agent owns it, what integration it touches, and what the operator sees.

LIVE Morning dispatch · 47 stops · 6 drivers
1
Routing Optimizer
At 5am, builds the daily route plan from yesterday's manifest plus overnight additions. Factors driver hours, vehicle capacity, traffic forecasts, clinical priority, and customer time windows.
Flexio Logistics, Google Maps
2
Dispatch Coordinator
At 6am, pushes the route to each driver's phone with stop sequence, customer details, and special instructions. Confirms driver readiness.
Twilio, WhatsApp Business
3
Driver Comms
Mid-route at 9:30am, stop 14 cancels (customer not home). Routing Optimizer re-sequences remaining stops. Driver gets the new order. Affected customers get new ETAs via SMS in their preferred language (EN/ES).
Twilio, Google Maps
4
POD Manager
Captures proof-of-delivery for each completed stop — signature, photo, timestamp, GPS. Flags 2 deliveries with exceptions for next-day re-attempt. Logs everything to Flexio Logistics for invoicing.
Flexio Logistics, customer portals
RESULT
47 stops dispatched, re-routed, delivered, documented. Dispatcher spent 20 minutes verifying exceptions instead of 4 hours managing the route.
LIVE Multi-client order day · intake to invoice
1
Order Intake
Overnight and morning orders arrive from three channels: API from larger clients, email from mid-size accounts, phone orders logged manually. Each is parsed into a standard order record.
Client APIs, email, manual entry
2
Routing Coordinator
Applies each client's routing parameters. Independent pharmacies in the same area are grouped into a shared zone and routed together to maximize route density.
Locations, routing rules
3
Pricing Agent
Prices every order against its client's contract — base rate, zone, service level, surcharges — and hands the day's orders to the TMS for dispatch.
Customer pricing rules, TMS
4
Invoice Manager
Generates each client's invoice from the same priced, delivered records — no month-end reconstruction.
QBO
RESULT
Orders from every channel land in one queue, priced and routed by rule, handed to dispatch without retyping — and invoicing reads from the same records instead of being rebuilt at month-end.

COMPLIANCE

Logistics-grade by default.

Not features we added. Conditions we built in — because in healthcare logistics, the regulator and the patient are the same person.

Cold Chain Integrity

Temperature logging and alert thresholds for pharmaceutical and biological deliveries. Chain-of-custody documented from origin to recipient with timestamps.

DSCSA Pedigree Tracking

Drug Supply Chain Security Act compliance built in. Lot numbers, expiration dates, transaction history — all tracked and exportable for regulator and partner audits.

Electronic Proof of Delivery

Signature capture, photo evidence, GPS coordinates, timestamps. Court-defensible delivery records, exported in seconds for billing disputes or compliance audits.

Driver & Vehicle Compliance

Licenses, insurance, vehicle documents, and training tracked with expiration alerts. A driver whose documents lapse stops receiving routes until they're renewed.
