Hire a Logistics Officer FTE

Shipping & Delivery-Promise Officer

Shipping as a share of revenue, and the promise you made at checkout kept. The Logistics Officer FTE audits carrier invoices against the rates you agreed, tracks surcharges and rate changes, measures delivery-promise accuracy by carrier, service and lane from the scans, makes the shipping subsidy visible, and proposes service and zone choices with the cost and the promise effect shown. Exceptions — a lane that slowed, a surcharge that appeared — reach your morning page the day they start.

Shipping as a share of revenue, and the delivery promise kept

Judged on · Shipping as a share of revenue and promise accuracy

What it does not do · It does not negotiate carrier contracts, change a carrier without approval, or answer customers about their parcel — the Order Support FTE does that from the same scans.

  • Rate and Surcharge Tracking
  • Delivery-Promise Accuracy by Lane

How it works

A week with Logistics Officer.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. As invoices arrive01

    Audit

    Every line checked against the agreed rate, surcharges named, variance totalled.

  2. Daily02

    Promise accuracy

    Delivered-when-promised by carrier, service and lane from the scans; lanes that slowed flagged.

  3. Weekly03

    Proposals in Approvals

    Service and zone choices with cost and promise effect; claims drafted for billing errors.

  4. Monthly04

    Shipping as a share of revenue

    With subsidy made visible and promise accuracy beside it.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Logistics Officer reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Capabilities

Built for the job.

Shipping as a share of revenue, and the promise you made at checkout kept. The Logistics Officer FTE audits carrier invoices against the rates you agreed, tracks surcharges and rate changes, measures delivery-promise accuracy by carrier, service and lane from the scans, makes the shipping subsidy visible, and proposes service and zone choices with the cost and the promise effect shown. Exceptions — a lane that slowed, a surcharge that appeared — reach your morning page the day they start.

01

Carrier invoices audited line by line against your agreed rates, with the variance named

02

Promise accuracy measured from scans by carrier, service and lane, so the checkout estimate can be honest

03

Service and zone proposals with the cost and the promise effect side by side, for your approval

Skills

  • Carrier Invoice Audit
  • Rate and Surcharge Tracking
  • Delivery-Promise Accuracy by Lane
  • Service and Zone Selection
  • Shipping Subsidy Visibility
  • Exception Alerts
Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Recover this quarter's billing variance

A bounded push through invoice lines billed over the agreed rate, claims approved and tracked.

Diagnostic

Why did delivery complaints rise?

Ranked causes from scans: a lane, a carrier, a service, a promise set too tight.

Strategy

Which service should each zone use?

Cost and promise accuracy by service and zone with the choice it proposes.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Control

You manage. Logistics Officer executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Does it answer customers about their parcels?

No. The Order Support FTE does that from the same scans. This role audits invoices, measures the promise and proposes service choices.

What can the Logistics Officer FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Logistics Officer proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.
