ZANUS FRONT OFFICE FOR LOGISTICS — AI PHONE
Every shipper call answered. From the first ring, 24/7.
The AI answers on your menu, in your chosen voices, in up to 40 languages — the 5 AM receiving dock, the West Coast shipper at 6 PM Eastern, the weekend consignee. It reads shipment status from your connected TMS or tracking feed, sends the POD, takes the pickup request for dispatch, files the exception, quotes the lane from your rate card, and transfers drivers and urgent exceptions to dispatch with the context whispered in. Hang-ups become call-back lists.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button. Give it your website: it learns your company, works from your approved knowledge and gets better with every answer you approve.

The real Phone menu: every ring on your number — answered, transferred, transcribed, reviewed.
What it does
Forty “where is my shipment” calls no longer queue on three people: every caller answered at once, by PRO or BOL number, from connected data.
Who called, which account, which shipment, answered or transferred, transcript and summary. A consignee who called twice never explains twice; dispatch gets the story.
Not a voicemail dead end: status given, pickups requested, exceptions filed, a driver’s detention question routed — urgent cases escalated by your rules.
Inside AI Phone — the real screens
Click a tab. Every picture is the live Front Office, not a mockup — the left menu is the whole product.
Programmed by talking. Nothing changes without your yes.
Lisa reads your website, interviews you by voice or by chat — only about what the site does not say — writes every department, and tests it with exam calls before the line opens. Afterwards you change anything by telling her: “in Sales, add: we close at noon on Fridays in August.” A rule can carry dates: “the Christmas greeting until December 27.”
- Your website is the first interview — you answer only what it does not say
- Exam calls before the line opens; every real call reviewed afterwards
- She proposes improvements; you say yes or no. Nothing changes without your yes
- Keep your existing number and your existing phones
From your mobile, tell Lisa what to do with the caller on hold
A person who took a call on his mobile presses a key and tells Lisa: “transfer him to Mary”, “take a message”, “send him to voicemail.” The colleague receiving the transfer can say yes, no, voicemail, message, or the name of a department. Callers who drop in the menu are logged as call-back leads with number and path taken.
- Your whole team works from the phones they already have
- The administrator holds the first phone: an extension that rings in the browser, with hold, transfer, consult, a voicemail inbox and the AI beside him
- Every further person who wants a phone of his own inside Front Office is an operator — forwarding a call to someone’s mobile never needs one
- Hang-ups called back automatically — see Auto-Call below for scheduled calls
Auto-Call — the AI calls THEM
Not only answering. From an automated event (a due date, a ready order, tomorrow’s appointment), a scheduled funnel or a list you upload, the AI calls your registered contacts and announces your message — or talks as an agent: answers the question, moves the appointment, confirms, collects the missing detail.
- “Hi Chris, this is Crossroads Freight: your shipment is out for delivery today between noon and 4.”
- “Hi Dana, this is Crossroads Freight calling to confirm tomorrow’s pickup at your dock. Is 10 AM still good, and how many pallets should we expect?”
- Triggered by automated events, scheduled funnels or lists
- Announce a message, or act as an agent the customer can talk back to
- Call window, attempts, voicemail policy, consent and do-not-call flags — your rules
- Every call transcribed with its outcome; the AI identifies your business at the start
Scheduled Auto-Call comes inside a solution — see pricing. Calling back the hang-ups is part of AI Phone.
When your people are on the call, the AI is in their ear — AI ASSIST
Your operators work with headsets in the phone panel: outbound from to-do lists (yours, or the ones the AI prepares from hang-ups and follow-ups), inbound from the queue. Flip the AI ASSIST toggle and the AI listens to the live conversation and proposes, in real time, what to say — grounded answers in a side panel, each with its knowledge source named. The operator reads and talks — the AI never speaks into the call.
- Outbound from operator to-do lists, inbound from the queue — same panel, same knowledge
- New operators sound experienced on day one; nobody quotes a policy from memory
- Answers appear while the customer is still asking — sources shown
- Same knowledge base as every other channel — one truth
- Switch it on only for the calls where you want it

Questions, answered
Do we keep our phone numbers?
Yes. Your main line, terminal lines and dock phone stay; calls route to the AI first, your desk first, or any mix by hour and by line — for example, AI at night and weekends, staff during hours with AI overflow when the status calls pile up.
What happens with an ETA it cannot see, or a hazmat question?
Your rules decide: with no connected status the AI says a dispatcher will confirm and files the request; it never guesses a delivery time. Hazmat, dangerous-goods and customs-compliance questions are transferred to your compliance lead or taken as a message, with the context attached. The AI never dispatches a truck.
