Your team checks UPS, FedEx, LTL carrier portals, and 3PL dashboards separately to figure out where shipments are. We consolidate all carrier tracking into a single view with automated alerts for delays, exceptions, and delivery confirmations — inbound and outbound. Ford's Rouge Electric Vehicle Center, GM's Factory ZERO, and Stellantis's retooling of Jefferson North are rewriting what it means to build cars in Detroit. Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers along the I-94 corridor face a brutal reality: retool for EV drivetrains and battery modules, or lose contracts to greenfield competitors. The shift from internal combustion to electric has compressed product development cycles from years to months, and legacy Plex and QAD installations weren't designed for that pace.
Detroit suppliers who digitized scheduling and traceability before the EV transition hit are winning new battery-pack contracts; those still running paper-based PPAP are getting passed over.
Consolidated tracking across UPS, FedEx, USPS, LTL carriers (XPO, Estes, Old Dominion, SAIA), regional carriers, and 3PL providers. One view for all shipments.
Track supplier shipments from pickup to receiving dock. Automated ETA updates feed into warehouse receiving schedules so your team knows what’s arriving and when.
Track customer shipments from warehouse to delivery. Customer-facing tracking pages and automated status notifications reduce "where’s my order" calls.
Automated alerts for delays, missed pickups, damage claims, address corrections, and delivery exceptions. The right person knows immediately — not when the customer calls.
Automated proof of delivery capture and ERP posting. Delivery confirmation triggers invoice release, revenue recognition, and customer notification automatically.
Tracking data flows into your ERP and WMS — shipment status updates on sales orders, expected receipt dates on POs, and delivery confirmations on invoices.
Catalog all carriers, 3PLs, and freight providers. Document current tracking methods, shipment volumes, and exception handling procedures.
Connect carrier tracking APIs and build the consolidated tracking dashboard. Integrate with your ERP and WMS for automated status updates.
Define exception types, severity levels, and alert routing. Configure customer-facing tracking pages and automated notification templates.
Deploy tracking dashboard, train CSRs and warehouse teams, and configure customer notifications. Monitor adoption and refine alerting thresholds.

All major parcel carriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL), national LTL carriers (XPO, Estes, Old Dominion, SAIA, ABF), regional carriers, and major 3PL providers. If the carrier has a tracking API, we can connect to it.
Yes. We build customer-facing tracking pages with branded URLs and automated email/SMS notifications. Customers see real-time shipment status without calling your CSR team.
LTL tracking is more complex than parcel — fewer scan points and less real-time data. We integrate with carrier APIs for available updates and supplement with ETA estimates and exception alerting. The goal is eliminating the "black hole" between pickup and delivery.
Typical results: 40–60% reduction in "where’s my order" calls, 80% faster response when customers do call (CSR has the answer immediately), and proactive exception communication that prevents complaints.
Most manufacturers are still running workflows that require a person to touch every exception, every order, every routing decision. AI agents eliminate that bottleneck — not by replacing your people, but by handling the work that was always below their pay grade.
Most manufacturers forecast demand with spreadsheets, gut feel, and last year's numbers adjusted by 5%. ML models trained on your actual order history, seasonality patterns, and market signals replace guesswork with predictions your planning team can act on.
Odoo Maintenance captures work orders, failure reasons, repair times, and equipment history. We build AI models on top of that data to identify failure patterns and recommend maintenance windows before breakdowns occur — no new hardware, no IoT infrastructure required.
Odoo Quality captures inspection results, non-conformances, scrap reasons, and lot traceability across every production order. We build AI models on top of that data to surface defect patterns, predict quality risk, and trigger alerts before scrap accumulates — no cameras, no hardware.
Most manufacturers price by cost-plus formula or by whatever the sales rep negotiated last time. AI pricing models factor in material costs, competitive positioning, customer segment, order size, inventory position, and market conditions — governed by business rules so every price stays within approved boundaries.
When an order hits your system, someone decides which warehouse ships it — usually based on habit, proximity, or whoever answered the phone. AI order routing makes that decision in real time, optimizing across inventory availability, shipping cost, delivery speed, and warehouse workload.
Manufacturers still process thousands of POs, invoices, RFQs, spec sheets, and BOLs manually — reading PDFs, retyping data into the ERP, and fixing the errors that come with it. Document intelligence extracts structured data from unstructured documents automatically, with validation rules that catch errors before they enter your systems.
Your dealers call or email to check stock before placing orders because they can't see what's available. We give them live ATP visibility across all your warehouses — available, allocated, in-transit, and expected replenishment dates — straight from your ERP and WMS.
We govern cloud migration in phases — every dependency mapped, every workload sequenced, every cutover window defined. Zero-downtime migration for manufacturers who can't afford an outage.
Most manufacturing AI projects die in the pilot phase. We deploy AI that integrates into your actual workflows -- demand forecasting, predictive maintenance, pricing optimization, and intelligent routing -- governed by operational data contracts.
Your demand planning process runs on last year\u2019s sales adjusted by a gut-feel percentage. ML models trained on your actual order history, seasonal patterns, and market signals produce forecasts that are measurably more accurate \u2014 and they improve automatically as more data accumulates.
Your legacy system holds critical data that modern applications need -- but it has no APIs, no webhooks, and no modern integration points. We build a REST/GraphQL API layer on top of your legacy system so new applications can access data without touching the core.
Metrotechs starts with the operating questions: which records are trusted, which workflows are manual, which systems own each decision, and where AI can safely improve throughput.
