For logistics and distribution companies
Get paid for what your operation already knows.
Every load planned, exception handled and claim filed records how your team keeps freight moving. AI labs pay for that kind of record. We license selected records on your behalf, protect customer and pricing information and negotiate the best available price.

01 Why AI labs care
What your records show that AI can’t do yet.
AI can explain what a bill of lading is. It still struggles with the decisions that keep a network running: which carrier to tender when the first one rejects, how to recover a missed appointment, when a damage claim is worth filing. Your dispatch, exception and claims records show those decisions made under time pressure, thousands of times over.
What makes logistics and distribution companies’ records valuable
- High-volume decisions with clear outcomes: tendered, rejected, delivered on time or late
- Exception handling that shows how problems were spotted, escalated and fixed
- Connected records across your TMS, warehouse system, email and carrier messages
- Years of seasonal patterns, lanes and customer requirements
02 Workflows
The work with the most value.
Buyers look for complete pieces of work, start to finish. In your industry, these are the strongest.
Load planning and dispatch
How shipments were consolidated, routed and tendered, and what happened when a carrier rejected or fell through.
Exceptions and recovery
Missed pickups, late deliveries, refused freight and the calls and messages that got shipments back on track.
Freight claims
Damage and shortage claims from documentation through settlement, including what support made the difference.
Warehouse operations
Receiving discrepancies, cycle counts, pick errors and the corrective steps taken.
Customer service and billing
Tracking requests, accessorial disputes and invoice corrections, handled case by case.
03 Connected records
One piece of work, followed end to end.
This is what connected history looks like, and why it’s worth more than any single file.
Illustrative exampleInvented details. Not client data.
A missed delivery window, recovered end to end
- TMSLoad 58114 is stuck behind a road closure, two hours from a grocery DC with a firm appointment.
- Carrier messageThe driver confirms the delay. Dispatch asks the DC for a later window.
- EmailThe DC can't move it. The account rep tells the customer early and offers next-morning delivery.
- TMSThe load is rescheduled, the reason code is recorded and the delivery lands at 6 a.m.
- BillingThe delay is documented, so the $175 redelivery charge is approved on the first invoice.
Each message is ordinary. Together they show how a team protects a customer relationship when plans fall apart. Customer, carrier and driver details are replaced before anything is shared.
04 Privacy and rights
What stays out, and what’s reviewed first.
Every industry has its own sensitive material and its own rules. For logistics and distribution companies, these come first.
Always excluded or removed
Before anything is shared, these stay out entirely or are replaced.
- Driver qualification files, medical certificates and drug and alcohol testing records
- Client records held as a licensed customs broker
- Contract rates and pricing terms covered by confidentiality clauses
- Customer, consignee and driver names, addresses and contact details (replaced with consistent stand-ins)
- Bank details and payment account numbers
- Passwords, portal logins and one-time codes
Rights reviewed before any records are shared
Customer and carrier contracts
Shipper agreements, carrier contracts and broker-carrier agreements often include confidentiality terms, especially around rates. They're reviewed to decide what can be included and what needs to stay out.
Customs brokerage records
Federal rules (19 CFR 111.24) treat a customs broker's client records as confidential. If you operate as a licensed customs broker, those records stay out of scope.
Driver testing records
DOT rules (49 CFR 40.321) bar employers from releasing drug and alcohol test results without the employee's specific written consent. Driver testing and qualification records stay out entirely.
This isn’t legal advice. We flag what we find and encourage you to have your own counsel review. How records are protected
05 How it works

06 Questions
Questions from logistics and distribution companies.
New to this? Start with our plain-English guide to licensing business data.
Can we include records that show our rates?
Often not as they are. Many shipper and carrier contracts treat pricing as confidential, so rates may need to be removed or left out. That decision comes out of the rights review, before any records are shared.
Which logistics records are most valuable?
Decisions with outcomes attached: the exception, the messages that followed, what the team did and how it ended. Several years of that across lanes, customers and seasons is what buyers look for.
Do you need access to our TMS?
Not to start. A conversation is all it takes. If you decide to go ahead, the scope you approve decides exactly what's prepared, and nothing is shared until you sign.
