How Vectrix is Revolutionizing Logistics & Transportation with AI
Manual order entry in logistics is a time-consuming, error-prone process. Belgian startup Vectrix is changing this with AI-powered automation. Recently securing €1.15 million in seed funding, the company is poised to transform how logistics teams handle transport orders across Europe.
Why Manual Order Entry is a Pain Point
Logistics companies process thousands of transport requests daily. Administrative teams often manually input order details into transport management systems—a task taking 8 minutes per request. This repetitive work leads to delays and human errors, especially when handling complex requirements like pharmaceutical temperature controls.
How Vectrix Solves This Problem
Vectrix’s AI platform automates order entry, reducing processing time to just 2 minutes per request. Key features include:
- AI-driven data validation to minimize errors
- Adaptive learning from historical data
- Customizable workflows for client-specific agreements
- Seamless integration with ERP and transport management systems
Real-World Impact
Founded in 2024 by Dimitri Allaert and Ben Selleslagh, Vectrix’s platform acts as a pre-transport management system (pre-TMS). It converts unstructured data from emails or ERPs into validated transport orders. The AI learns from customer configurations and historical patterns, allowing logistics teams to review and approve orders through a single interface.
What the Seed Funding Will Achieve
The €1.15 million seed round, led by RDY Ventures, will accelerate:
- Team expansion to support European growth
- Deeper integrations with transport management systems
- Product development for tailored client workflows
Ben Selleslagh, CTO at Vectrix
“Our AI understands each customer’s context, filling in missing information while keeping logistics employees in control. This feedback loop improves efficiency and helps companies address talent shortages,” explains Ben Selleslagh. New hires can now onboard faster, and teams save time on repetitive tasks.
Why This Matters for Logistics & Transportation
Automation is critical in an industry facing labor shortages and rising demand. By reducing manual work, Vectrix helps companies scale operations while maintaining accuracy. The platform’s transparency ensures every automated decision aligns with client agreements and historical data.
Conclusion: The Future of Logistics Automation
Vectrix’s seed funding marks a pivotal step in modernizing logistics workflows. As the company expands into neighboring European markets, its AI-driven approach sets a new standard for efficiency and accuracy in transport order processing.
