The Challenge

What Logistics Company, Southeast Asia was facing

A logistics company operating a Cash on Delivery (COD) model was experiencing revenue leakage and operational inefficiencies due to fully manual, paper-based processes. The business had no digital visibility into its parcel lifecycle, which led to internal control failures and significant delivery delays.

Our Solution

How Area29 Labs responded

We built a comprehensive digital chain-of-custody system with barcode scanning at every parcel handoff, a rider mobile app with geo-stamped photo proof of delivery, and automated COD reconciliation. An AI-driven smart batch recommendation engine matched parcel sizes to optimal vehicle types, while a fraud detection system monitored suspicious merchant patterns in real time.
