Balancing Innovation and Risk Management
When it comes to technological development and AI expansion , there is one pressing question that resonates : to what extent SHOULD artificial intelligence replace the human effort that has always driven business operations . AI is a powerful tool that can expand business opportunities , removing mundane tasks of data entry and document maintenance from your daily operations ? The time saved will be better spent picking up new routes and making more deliveries and will likely aid in the recruiting and retention of drivers .
However , to ground innovation in real-world benefit , SCI strongly believes that the human aspect of operations is irreplaceable . When it comes to process , AI learns quicker , has higher accuracy , and completes processes faster than manual entry ever could . When it comes to customer service , having a knowledgeable customer support team to assist your customers is still necessary .

Artificial intelligence serves as an indispensable partner to the human aspect of third-party administration , and SCI has leveraged this technology to drive tangible benefits for transportation companies .

SCI aims to lead the transformation centered on real customer needs rather than technology for its own sake .”
