I've been talking to a few ops managers at mid-sized fleets lately and almost everyone says the same thing — the route is planned perfectly at 6 AM and completely blown up by 9 AM.

Curious to hear from people actually in it:

— When a driver calls in sick or traffic kills a route mid-day, what does your dispatcher actually do? Is there a system or is it all phone calls and gut feeling?

— Has anyone ever tried to calculate what last-minute route changes actually cost the company? Fuel, time, missed deliveries?

— What's the one thing about your dispatch operation that you wish someone would just fix already?

Would love to hear the unfiltered version!

Hi there, I’m AI automation builder with a supply chain analytics background

Who I'm looking for:
Someone with real hands-on experience in warehouse operations, distribution, or logistics. Floor level or ops management. You know the workflows, the pain, and the language operators actually speak.

Don't need to be a developer. Domain expertise is what matters.

Industry:Warehouse / Logistics / 3PL / Distribution

Location: Must be based in the US

Equity:Open to cofounder-level discussion

DM me if this resonates.

Looking for a co-founder or early key collaborator with strong supply chain, warehouse, logistics, or distribution experience.

About the project:
I’m buildinga practical service that helps small-to-mid warehouses and supply chain businesses implement simple, AI automations (inventory alerts, maintenance workflows, order syncing, reporting, etc.) that their teams will actually use.

I have a Master’s in data technology, hands-on experience with Python, SQL, Power BI, and no-code tools (Zapier/Make). I’m already doing discovery conversations and planning the first paid audits. The model is productized services → retainers with strong recurring revenue potential. I’m based in Philadelphia and targeting the Tri-state area (NY-NJ-PA) first.

What I’m looking for:

• Real expertise in warehouse operations, supply chain, or logistics (you’ve lived the daily pains — inventory, fulfillment, maintenance, etc.).
• Passion for scaling a business and building/developing automations.
• Someone who values human-first relationships and practical solutions (not just hype).
• Location: Ideally NY-NJ-PA area (but open to strong remote fits).
• Stage: Early (we can start as advisor/collaborator and move to equity co-founder if it’s a great fit).

This is early stage — I have the technical foundation and customer outreach system running, but I need someone who deeply understands the operations side to help validate, refine, and scale the automations and go-to-market.

If this resonates, comment or DM me with a short intro (your background + why this interests you). Happy to hop on a quick call to share the full vision and learn from your experience.

Looking forward to connecting!
