Logistics runs on timing. Supply chains collapse when information moves slower than inventory. And yet, every logistics operation is buried under a junkyard of systems that barely speak to each other.
You’ve got legacy TMS platforms, standalone warehouse software, homegrown dispatch tools, a patchwork of ERPs, and a constellation of SaaS products added one panic-driven contract at a time. You want visibility? Great. Now string it all together without breaking compliance, delaying shipments, or waking up your CIO at 2 a.m. because the API call failed again.
Most vendors tell you to centralize everything. Build a golden dataset. Transform your data. Migrate it into a clean, modern warehouse or a pretty vector database with semantic search. But here’s the dirty truth: centralization is expensive, slow, brittle, and—as a little bonus—half the time it doesn’t work.
You spend months mapping tables, normalizing formats, testing pipelines, fixing edge cases, writing scripts to handle the exceptions to your exceptions. Then compliance flags something. Or legal. Or security. You’re stuck. The project halts. Leadership cools. But now you’re too far in to walk away. So you keep spending. Keep waiting.
And if it fails? You’ve sunk six months of work into a maybe. You’ve restructured your stack around someone else’s assumptions. And the workflows that were supposed to be better are now slower—and more fragile.
SWIRL goes straight to the data
No ETL. No migration. No black-box platform swallowing your documents and handing you back guesswork.
SWIRL installs on-premises or in your private cloud. In days. Not quarters. It connects to your existing TMS, WMS, CRM, PDFs, email servers, SQL databases—whatever you already use. It searches everything live, across systems, respecting your security and your structure. You don’t move the data. You don’t duplicate it. You don’t pray that an ingestion pipeline runs on time.
When urgency hits, search shouldn’t slow you down
A shipment is delayed at customs. You need the compliance paperwork now. Not in 20 minutes. Not after phoning someone who’s out to lunch. You type the tracking number. SWIRL retrieves the customs forms, export certs, and bill of lading—wherever they live. Maybe it’s a scanned PDF in a file share. Maybe it’s an upload in SharePoint. Doesn’t matter. The agent finds it, pulls the right doc, and surfaces the relevant section. Not a keyword match. A context-aware result.
Dispatch wants to know which routes got hammered by storms last week. SWIRL pulls logs from the dispatch system, cross-references weather alerts from your feed, and compiles the summary from driver notes and email threads. That’s not search. That’s operational memory.
An operations manager needs to know what’s delaying a shipment flagged by the CRM. They don’t have time to dig through tabs or Slack messages. They ask. SWIRL connects the dots—shipment history from the TMS, customer history from Salesforce, a driver report from an archived PDF. The issue is surfaced. The blocker is removed.
Fragmentation is normal. Usable intelligence is not
The dream of unified data is just that—a dream. The real world is messy. You’ve got checklists in Excel, maintenance reports in Dropbox, SOPs in Word docs, and incident logs in a tool the guy who quit last year built in Airtable. You’re not replacing it all. And you don’t have to.
SWIRL turns that fragmented sprawl into something agents can navigate. A mechanic asks, what’s the SOP for post-incident inspections for Class 8 vehicles? The agent retrieves the checklist, links to the latest policy update, and flags a recent training revision. That’s agentic search. Context-aware. Role-aware. Real time.
You don’t need to fix your infrastructure. You need to stop breaking it
Every traditional AI or BI project in supply chain starts by promising visibility. Then it demands transformation. What you get is complexity, cost, and fragility. Delay is just an added bonus.
SWIRL doesn’t need you to clean your data, move it, or restructure it. It works with what you’ve got. Connect a system. Get results. Connect another. Expand the view. Scale on your terms.
If it doesn’t work, you haven’t burned your architecture to the ground
That’s the safety net. SWIRL doesn’t hijack your environment. You’re not making a six-figure gamble just to find out if something might work. No massive investment. No new compliance footprint. No need to convince your IT team to rip and replace half the stack.
You can try it without rearranging your world.
And when it works? You’ve turned your messy, disconnected, compliance-heavy operation into a live, intelligent system that answers real questions in real time.
Without moving a single row of data.
