Governance Framework
Control and accountability designed in from the start.
Decisions Requiring Human Approval
- Final delay commitment communicated to customer
- SLA breach acknowledgement or commercial compensation
- Delivery cancellation / re-routing decisions
- Sub-carrier penalty or routing decisions
- Claim / damage acceptance
- Invoice, freight or reconciliation approval
- Customer communications containing personal data
- Decisions bound by customer contract terms
Data Security Principles
- AI responses must be grounded in verified operational documents
- Shipment status data must reflect live TMS values
- Customer-specific rules and SLAs accessed by authorised roles only
- AI acts as advisor — SLA commitments and claims require human approval
- All AI responses, routing decisions and recommendations must be logged
- Exception alerts must clearly explain the basis and confidence level
- Regular quality reviews for customer-facing AI response accuracy
- Carrier performance data used for internal analysis — not disclosed without consent
