Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI for logistics?

That depends on your requirements. Field-specific solutions such as Simacan Control Tower are built for logistics; general assistants such as Gemini are broader in use and cheaper to start with. At the top of this page are our picks.

What is the difference between a 'field-specific tool' and a 'general assistant'?

A general assistant (such as ChatGPT or Claude) is a clever all-rounder you converse with yourself. A field-specific tool is a ready-made product for logistics, often built on top of such an assistant, with its own domain knowledge, integrations and GDPR commitments. In the 'Quality' column you can see which model a tool runs on.

May I use confidential data?

Operational decisions have direct consequences; use AI as a tool with human oversight and make sure the source data is reliable.

What does the GDPR profile mean?

Our summary of what the provider publishes about data protection: EU hosting, no training on your data, certifications and provenance. 'Strong' = several safeguards published; 'Unknown' = the provider shares little, so ask them. It is a tool, not legal advice.
