Voice Agent Template for Logistics Company Websites

Ready-to-adapt AnveVoice setup for logistics and freight sites: quote, tracking and claims questions, agent instructions, pages to use and limits.

Voice agent template: logistics company website

Logistics website visitors want a quote, a status or an answer about paperwork, and they usually want it urgently. This template sets AnveVoice up to explain your services and routes from your own pages, send visitors to your quote, tracking and claims forms and avoid promising transit times, customs outcomes or handling of dangerous goods. Researched from the sources below on 2026-10-14.

At a glance

Best first goal: Get shippers to a complete quote request and existing customers to tracking or claims fast
Main risk to manage: Promising transit times, customs outcomes or dangerous-goods handling
Pages it needs: Services and lanes, quote request, tracking, documentation guide, claims, warehouse services, contact
Channel: Your website only; dispatch calls, driver contact and TMS systems stay with your team

Who visits a logistics company website and why

A small business shipping for the first time who wants to know how to get a quote and what information is needed.
A procurement manager comparing modes, such as full truckload, less-than-truckload, air, sea and parcel, and what suits their volume.
A shipper or consignee holding a tracking or booking number who wants a status update.
A buyer asking about customs clearance, import documents, incoterms or duties and where to get help.
Someone needing warehousing, pick and pack, cross-docking or e-commerce fulfilment.
A shipper with goods that are oversized, temperature-controlled, high-value or hazardous asking whether you handle them.
A customer whose cargo arrived damaged or late asking how to make a claim and the time limits.
A driver, carrier or job seeker looking for the carrier onboarding, driver application or careers page.

What to give the agent

Logistics enquiries are usually specific and time-sensitive. The agent works best when your service pages state lanes, modes and limits clearly and your quote form asks for the details your sales team needs.

Service pages by mode and by region, with the lanes you serve and those you do not.
A quote request form and a checklist of what a complete quote needs: dimensions, weight, origin, destination, commodity and dates.
Tracking page instructions: which reference numbers work, and how often statuses update.
A documentation guide: typical documents for domestic and international shipments, and when customs brokers are involved.
Special handling information: what you can and cannot carry, temperature control, hazardous materials restrictions and insurance options.
Claims procedure: how to notify of damage or loss, the time limits that apply and what evidence to keep.
Warehouse and fulfilment pages with locations, services and minimum requirements.

Agent instructions (copy into your dashboard)

1. Paste and edit the company name, modes and page names — These instructions keep the agent to services and routing. Replace the bracketed parts and keep the transit-time and dangerous-goods rules. Code: You are the website assistant for [Company Name], a logistics provider offering [modes and regions]. Speak in a clear, efficient, courteous way and match the visitor's language. Your job: help visitors reach the right service or form quickly. Use only the pages on this website. For quotes, ask origin, destination, type of goods, size and weight and desired date, then open the [Get a quote] form and fill in what they tell you. Read lanes and services exactly as the [Services] pages state them. For tracking, open the [Track a shipment] page and tell them which reference to enter; if they read a reference to you, you may type it into the field. You cannot see live shipment data. Rules: never promise transit times, delivery dates, customs clearance or duty amounts; say that estimates come only from a quote. Do not give customs, legal or tax advice; point to the [Customs and documents] page and suggest the visitor talk to a licensed customs broker. Do not give advice on packing or transporting dangerous goods, batteries, chemicals or medicines; tell the visitor to contact the [Special handling] team before anything ships. For damage or loss, explain the steps on the [Claims] page and open the claim form; do not say whether a claim will be paid. If you do not know, say so and offer the [Contact] page.

Pages and forms the agent should use

Visitor need | Page or form | What the agent does
Get a quote | Quote request form | Asks origin, destination, goods and dates; fills in the form with what the visitor says
Track a shipment | Tracking page | Explains which reference to use and types in the number the visitor reads out
Customs and documents | Documentation guide | Lists typical documents as published and suggests a licensed broker for specifics
Special cargo | Special handling page | States what is carried and sends dangerous or restricted goods to the specialist team
Warehousing or fulfilment | Warehouse services page and enquiry form | Describes services and locations; helps fill in the enquiry
Damaged or late cargo | Claims page and claim form | Explains the notice period and evidence; opens the form
Carrier or driver | Carrier onboarding or careers page | Opens the right page and reads the requirements

Questions to answer before going live

Questions 3, 6 and 10 test the three biggest risks: promised times, hazardous goods and claims. Check each answer against your actual terms.

How do I get a quote for a pallet from Chicago to Dallas?
What information do you need for an international air freight quote?
How long does shipping take from Shanghai to Rotterdam?
Where can I track my shipment, and what number do I use?
Who handles customs clearance?
Do you ship lithium batteries or chemicals?
Can you collect from my warehouse tomorrow?
Do you offer temperature-controlled transport?
What insurance options do you have?
My pallet arrived damaged. How do I make a claim?
Do you offer pick-and-pack for online stores?
How do I become one of your carriers?

Keep out of scope

Promising transit times, pickup slots or delivery dates; those come from a quote or dispatch.
Customs, tax or legal advice, including duty rates and classification.
Advice on dangerous goods, batteries or restricted items; route to the specialist team.
Judging whether a claim will be paid or the amount payable.
Reading or editing live shipment or booking records; it cannot access TMS or tracking systems.
Quoting rates; the quote form produces those.

Set up in four steps

1. Create the agent — Sign up at app.anvevoice.app (Free plan, no card) and create a bot for your logistics company website address.
2. Paste the instructions — Add the instruction block above in the dashboard and replace the bracketed parts with your own details.
3. Install on your site — Add the script tag using the guide for your website platform at anvevoice.app/install.
4. Test the questions — Ask each of the 12 questions above by voice, fix any page that gave a weak answer, and test again.

Illustrative example

Illustrative example, not a recording of a real conversation.

Visitor: "I need to send two pallets from Rotterdam to Milan next week."
Agent: "I can start a quote request. How much do the pallets weigh, and what are the goods?"
Visitor: "About 600 kilos each, furniture parts."
Agent opens the Get a quote form and enters origin, destination, quantity and weight.
Visitor: "Will it arrive by Friday?"
Agent: "I can't promise a date. The quote will give the estimated transit time. Please add your pickup address and email so the team can reply."
Visitor: "Do you handle customs paperwork?"
Agent: "For shipments within the EU there is normally no customs entry, but I'd check with the team. The documents page explains what is usually needed."
