A Long Beach logistics firm needed AI-driven chat for their trucking portal
For your Long Beach business.
Trusted by companies across the USA
A Long Beach-based 3PL company was losing bids because their customer service chatbot couldn’t handle complex rate inquiries. Every time a shipper asked about LTL pricing or transit times, their bot either froze or sent customers to a voicemail box that never got checked. The team tried updating the script twice, once in Python, once in Node.js, but kept hitting the same wall: the bot couldn’t interpret natural language queries about freight rates.
They needed someone who could build a system that understood "How much to ship 5 pallets from Long Beach to Phoenix by Friday" the same way a human dispatcher would. Not just another API call to OpenAI, but a production-grade chat system that could pull real-time data from their TMS and quote rates without human intervention. The catch? They needed it live within six weeks before their next contract cycle opened up.
Most agencies in California would have quoted a three-month project with a team of four. We matched them with a developer who had shipped three production RAG systems before. She started by mapping their existing freight data schema, then built a LangChain pipeline that could parse vague shipper questions into structured queries. The first demo cut their average response time from 22 minutes to 45 seconds. By launch day, their chatbot was handling 70% of rate inquiries autonomously, freeing their dispatchers to focus on exceptions.
The best part? She works directly in their Slack channel during Long Beach business hours. No time zone gymnastics, no handoff delays. They message at 4:15 PM Pacific and get a code review by 5:30 PM. That overlap is why they’re still running her code two years later.
We’ve been building production-grade AI apps for California businesses since 2015. Our first LangChain project shipped in 2019, two years before most agencies even knew what embeddings were.
She doesn’t check out at 5 PM India time. She’s in your Slack channel from 8 AM to 5 PM Pacific, same as your Long Beach team. Code reviews, standups, and demos all happen in real time.
Most offshore teams treat staff augmentation like a factory line. We embed one developer directly into your workflow. They own the code, the bugs, and the on-call rotation, just like your local hire.
No proprietary frameworks. No black-box SaaS. The Python scripts, the LangChain chains, the embeddings, it’s all yours from day one. We even walk you through the architecture so you can modify it later.
We’ve worked with Long Beach port operators, Orange County logistics firms, and Bay Area fintech startups. Our developers sign NDAs that actually hold up in court, and we’ve never had a data breach in 11 years of remote development.
You pay one price per month for the developer’s time. No hidden costs for overtime, no surprise AWS bills. If we scope creep, we tell you upfront, before the hours pile up.
One developer dedicated to your team, working during California business hours. Best for long-term AI roadmaps or when you need coverage for multiple concurrent projects.
Half-time commitment with the same developer every week. Ideal if your AI workload fluctuates or you’re testing an MVP before scaling up.
Pay only for the hours you use, with a monthly cap to protect your budget. Good for bursty work like debugging a failing RAG pipeline or migrating from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4.
Add 1-3 developers to your existing team for a single project. Common when multiple AI features need to ship at once, like a chatbot plus a document Q&A system.
We start with a 30-minute call to map your current AI stack, your team’s workflow, and the specific problems you need solved. No sales pitch, just a technical deep dive to see if we’re a fit.
We present 1-2 candidates within 48 hours based on your tech stack and project scope. You interview them via Zoom; we handle the logistics. No generic offshore resumes, just developers who’ve shipped similar systems.
Your developer gets access to your systems on day one. We spend the week setting up their dev environment, reviewing your codebase, and defining the first sprint’s deliverables. You get a Loom walkthrough of their setup by Friday.
The developer ships a working prototype within two weeks. You see it in your own staging environment, not a PDF report. If it’s not what you expected, we revise before the next sprint starts, no extra charge.
Your developer works in your Slack channel and project board. Daily standups are optional; async updates via Loom recordings keep everyone aligned. If priorities shift, we reprioritize the backlog without billing for scope changes.
"Ritik and his team at Aneri Developers are top notch! We have been working together for almost 2+ years now and the project continues to evolve exactly how I had envisioned it. His communication is amazing and his attention to detail is even better! The mobile app and back office that we have created has freed up so much of my day to day while also giving my clients much better transparency and service in return too. His pricing is very fair and I feel extremely lucky to have him helping behind the scenes and growing my business! I look forward to all our future endeavors and continued success. Thank you!"
"I used Aneri Developers to build a campaign website. They were responsive, creative and handled any web-site related problems promptly. The turnaround time to implement updates was impeccable. Rutvik was also very patient and gracious. I recommend Aneri Developers for your website development needs."
"Great developer. On Time. Reasonable pricing. I trust working with him. We have an on going business now!"
