THE PROBLEM

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Every DTC logistics team runs the same broken workflow.

One in three logistics workers spends more than half their day on manual, repetitive tasks — and parcel exceptions are the single biggest driver of that wasted time.

Manually check carrier portals one shipment at a time — while thousands of parcels are in transit with no centralized view.

Spend 30–40% of your support queue answering WISMO tickets your ops team has to investigate by hand.

Gather order details, product costs, and photos from multiple systems just to build a single carrier claim package.

Create individual helpdesk tickets for every lost, damaged, or delayed shipment — before the customer even reaches out.

Chase the same carrier across FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS with no unified workflow or audit trail.

Miss the 15-day carrier refund window because no one is tracking claim deadlines across hundreds of shipments.

“I’m spending at minimum 3 hours daily just on order communication. And this is on top of managing fulfillment, supplier issues, inventory, and everything else operations involves. The growth is great, but the manual workload is not sustainable.”

THE SOLUTION

CONNECT · DETECT · ACT

Veztra replaces the workflow, not just the visibility.

Most tracking tools tell you something is wrong. Veztra fixes it.

Connect

Link your Shopify store, OMS, carrier accounts, and helpdesk in under 30 minutes. Veztra ingests your daily shipment manifest automatically.

Detect

Veztra monitors every shipment using direct carrier APIs — tracking thousands of parcels at once across all your carriers. Exceptions are flagged the moment they occur, not when a customer emails in.

Act

The AI agent drafts carrier outreach, assembles claim evidence from your order data, creates helpdesk tickets, and files claims — recovering revenue most brands leave on the table.

WHY VEZTRA

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Fits the stack without asking for a rebuild.

Veztra starts where most outbound teams already are: spreadsheets, carrier scans, ticket queues, Slack, and email. The safety model stays simple: workspace-scoped data and human-approved actions.

Operational stack

CSV-first setup

Upload the sheet you already trust. Integrations can come later.

Carrier tracking

Designed around live carrier scans and service-class SLA rules.

Ticketing

Draft carrier follow-ups and customer-facing notes from shipment context.

Slack + email

Morning Briefs and alerts land where operations teams already look.

Safety model

Workspace isolation

Every operational row is scoped to the active workspace boundary.

Human approval

AI drafts the work. A coordinator reviews before anything is sent.

Audit trail

Approvals, sends, claims, invoices, and settings changes stay attributable.

ROI DESK

CONSERVATIVE MODEL

Put a number on the morning sweep.

The savings are not from replacing a coordinator. They come from removing the tab switching, duplicate lookup, and blank-page drafting that happens on every aging shipment before lunch.

FAQ

QUESTIONS BEFORE THE DEMO

Questions before the demo?

+How long does integration take?

Most teams are live in under 30 minutes. You start with a CSV of your daily manifest, then connect Shopify, your carriers, and your helpdesk as you go — nothing blocks day one.

+Which carriers does Veztra support?

FedEx, UPS, USPS, and DHL today, via direct carrier APIs. CSV upload covers anything else while we add connectors. We confirm your exact carriers during the demo.

+Is our order and customer data secure?

Yes. Every row is scoped to your workspace, the AI drafts but never sends without human approval, and every action is written to an audit trail.

+What happens if we exceed our parcel limit?

Nothing breaks. Overage is billed at $0.05 per parcel, and we’ll flag when moving up a tier would cost you less.

+Can we cancel anytime?

Yes. Plans are month-to-month unless you opt into annual billing for the 15% discount.

+Does Veztra work for international shipments?

Yes. Veztra pulls commercial invoices and HS codes from your OMS for customs holds, and handles duties and DDU outreach proactively.
