Practical AI Solutions
for Everyday Logistics Problems.
We start by reviewing how your team actually works to find what's really costing you time — then build lightweight AI tools only where they'll move the needle.
Agile Operations for Small and Medium Businesses
With over 13 years of boots-on-the-ground supply chain and logistics expertise, Paceway Consulting knows that optimizing operations doesn't require massive IT budgets, expensive software licensing, or bloated development timelines.
Hands-On Execution, No Agency Overhead
Paceway works directly with your leadership team. We analyze your processes first-hand, identify operational bottlenecks in your warehouse or back office, and build targeted solutions specifically for your business.
AI-Powered Rapid Prototyping
We design, build, and deploy customized, lightweight automation in days — not months — so you get real operational relief, not a long development cycle.
No New Software to Buy
Paceway integrates seamlessly with what you already use (Excel, QuickBooks, Magaya, or your existing portals) so your team doesn't have to learn a complex new system.
Where modern supply chains lose margin.
Four friction points we audit before writing a single line of code.
Data Silos
Broken EDI and duplicate entries across systems.
Email Bottlenecks
Manual quotes and document-hunts.
Scattered Receivables
AR chased manually across separate accounting systems while cash sits stuck in the street.
AI Literacy Gap
Your team knows the operations cold, but has no roadmap for which AI tools are worth using — or how.
How we move from audit to ROI.
A three-phase path from diagnostic insight to scaled, accountable automation.
- 01
The Logistics Diagnostic
Deep-dive audit into manual friction. We map every email, EDI handoff, and dropped ball across your dock-to-ledger workflow.
- 02
The Automation Build
Only where the diagnostic finds real friction, we build lightweight, custom tools — connecting your systems and automating the manual handoffs slowing your team down.
- 03
Track & Improve
Continuous optimization and reporting. Every tool tied to a number you can see — hours saved, dollars recovered, errors caught.
Inside the operations we transform.
From the dock door to the digital ledger — the surfaces where margin is found or lost.
The Warehouse "Treasure Hunt" Cure
A cross-border e-commerce logistics provider spent over 2 hours every day copy-pasting flight statuses, filing customs pre-alerts (AMS/A-filing), and updating order tracking by hand. When US Customs (CBP) placed random holds on 1-2 packages inside a 100-box container, staff halted operations to physically search inventory — a "treasure hunt" — then rewrote Form 7512 documentation by hand.
We built a lightweight tracker that parses customs pre-alerts, matches flight arrivals, and syncs tracking to the partner portal — instantly alerting the floor with the exact box number on any Customs hold.
- Zero daily manual tracking work — saving 2 hours of clerical labor per day
- "Treasure hunt" resolved in under 5 minutes instead of hours
- 100% compliant documentation (Form 7512) generated automatically
The "3-Click" AR Recovery System
A multi-entity freight forwarder had receivables scattered across accounting systems, leaving over $100,000 "stuck in the street." Each week the team spent hours chasing AWB flown/delivered confirmations to trigger invoicing, then assembled Statements of Account by hand in Excel with no single source of truth.
We built a unified collections dashboard on top of their QuickBooks system — an automated engine that reads flown records, flags billing exceptions, and generates consolidated statements in one click.
- 3-click collections: review aging accounts, generate statements, and dispatch reminders
- $100,000 in capital recovered via faster collection cycles
- Real-time consolidated dashboard of credit risk across all stations
The Carrier Invoice Auto-Audit
A 3PL and logistics broker was losing thousands annually because carriers mistakenly billed contract rates instead of negotiated spot rates. Cross-checking multi-page PDF invoices against rate sheets took half a day every two weeks, so smaller discrepancies went unaudited and slipped through.
We built an AI "AP Audit Robot" that scans the AP inbox, extracts data from multi-page PDFs, and cross-checks every line against the negotiated spot-rate database in real time.
- Smart threshold: variances under $2 auto-approved, larger ones flagged
- 90% reduction in audit time (half a day → 20 flagged exceptions)
- Zero leakage: 100% of negotiated spot rates recovered
Ending the Manual Document Chase
A logistics provider working with partners who don't digitize shipping documents had no real-time record of what was actually moving. Every shipment's details existed only in a PDF sitting in someone's inbox — until a staff member manually opened it, read it, and retyped the details into the operational system, often days after the fact.
We built a lightweight document pipeline that automatically parses incoming shipment PDFs the moment they land, extracts the shipment data, and populates the operational system directly — flagging only the handful that don't parse cleanly for manual review.
- Shipment records populate automatically — no more retyping from PDFs
- Operational data reflects reality in near real-time, not days later
- Only non-standard documents reach a human; routine ones process untouched
Getting the Business Out of One Person's Excel Files
Years of financial history — closes, client performance, margin data across multiple business entities — lived only in one controller's personal spreadsheets. Every time leadership needed a number, it meant a direct request to that one person, and if they were ever unavailable, the knowledge simply wasn't accessible to anyone.
We consolidated the scattered spreadsheet snapshots into a shared, structured database with a simple visual layer on top, so historical and current performance data lives independently of any one person's laptop.
- Leadership self-serves answers instead of waiting on one person
- Historical performance secured against key-person turnover
- One source of truth across multiple entities and accounting systems
From Spreadsheet Requests to a Live Dashboard
Every time leadership asked 'how are we doing this month,' the finance lead had to manually pull numbers from two separate accounting systems, reconcile them, and build a one-off report — repeating the same compilation work from scratch every time.
We built a lightweight, always-current financial dashboard pulling directly from both accounting systems, showing revenue, cost, margin, and trend lines the moment leadership wants to look, with no manual pull required.
- Leadership questions answered instantly instead of after a manual pull
- Revenue, cost, and margin tracked automatically, month over month
- One consolidated view across two separate accounting systems
