We build custom AI into the systems your logistics operation already runs — WMS, TMS, ERP — so warehouse moves, routes, forecasts and paperwork stop eating margin. Nederlandse hub: <a href="/nl/ai-voor-logistiek/">AI voor logistiek</a>.
Last updated: 11 June 2026
AI for logistics automates warehouse tasks, route planning, demand forecasting and document processing by building custom models into your WMS/TMS/ERP — not by selling you another SaaS. Crux works to fixed prices: an AI audit at €2,500, a working proof of concept at €20,000, and production systems from €50,000. You own the code.
The best returns come from the repetitive, decision-heavy work your planners and warehouse staff do by hand every day. We scope the highest-value use case first, prove it, then scale it into production.
A concrete view of how each capability maps to an operational result. We instrument every build so the outcome is measurable against your own baseline.
| Use case | What the AI does | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Warehouse automation | Optimizes slotting and pick paths from live order data | Faster picks, fewer touches, higher throughput per shift |
| Route optimization | Plans and re-plans routes/loads against constraints | Lower kilometres and fuel, more on-time deliveries |
| Demand forecasting | Predicts SKU-level demand and reorder points | Less overstock and fewer stockouts, freed-up working capital |
| Document / OCR | Extracts and validates data from CMR, invoices, customs docs | Hands-free intake, fewer errors, faster settlement |
Most logistics AI tools are generic SaaS: you bend your process to their model and rent access forever. Crux does the opposite. We build AI that fits your WMS, TMS, ERP, carriers and label formats — your data, your rules, your integrations. You own the code and the models outright, so there is no per-seat lock-in and no vendor deciding your roadmap. A packaged product can be part of the stack where it genuinely wins; the intelligence and the glue that make it work in your operation are custom. See AI automation for how we integrate.
Fixed prices, no open-ended day-rates. You know the number before we start, and each stage earns the next.
A staged path that de-risks every euro. Audit — we find the highest-value use case and confirm your data can support it. Proof of concept — we build it against your real data and measure it against your baseline. Production — we harden, integrate into your WMS/TMS/ERP and hand over a documented, EU AI Act-ready system your team owns and can run without us.
Fixed prices: €2,500 audit, €20,000 proof of concept, production from €50,000. The audit ranks use cases by return, the proof of concept proves one of them on your real data, and production delivers the integrated system. You own the result at every stage.
No. This is custom software you own, not a subscription. Crux Digits is not a WMS and not a SaaS product. We build AI and integrate it into the systems you already run — WMS, TMS, ERP, carrier and label platforms — and hand over the code.
Yes, and integration is the whole point. We connect to your warehouse, transport and ERP systems through their APIs or scheduled data exports, so the AI works inside your current process instead of replacing it. Your team keeps the tools and workflows it already knows.
Usually more than you think. Order history, routes, stock movements and scanned documents are all usable, and most logistics operations have years of it. The €2,500 audit exists to check this before anyone commits, so you never pay for a build your data cannot support.
Yes, and most logistics use cases sit in the lower-risk tiers. Those still require documentation, transparency and human oversight, which we build in rather than add afterwards. Route planning and document processing rarely count as high-risk; anything deciding about people can.
Start with a €2,500 audit that ranks the AI use cases with the highest ROI in your operation — or run the free AI-readiness scan first. No lock-in, you own what we build.
