Dayjob: AI Agents for Industrial Logistics

Hey 👋 We're George and Fred, founders of Dayjob! 

What we solved in the UK and are now solving in the US

Industrial logistics plans are still built manually, every single morning. A transport planner sits down at 7am, spends 60 to 90 minutes dragging jobs onto trucks, and the plan is usually wrong by 10am. 

Our customers tell us they literally cannot hire and train planners fast enough. It’s a nightmare when one of those planners is off sick or has to go away on vacation. 

Humans are being asked to continuously re-optimise hundreds of constraints: vehicle capacity, weight limits, time windows, driver hours, live traffic, all in real time. It's cognitively impossible to do reliably.

If a fleet can complete just 10 more jobs a day, that's worth millions per year. The opportunity cost of bad scheduling is enormous and almost nobody in this industry has solved it.

What we've built: Dayjob sits on top of existing ERP software. Our scheduling agent builds a full fleet schedule in about 60 seconds. The same task currently takes a human planner most of the morning.

We're live with fleets in the UK today, and currently launching in the US.

Early results:

• 5 to 10% improvement in fleet efficiency from day one
• 50% improvement in hitting customer time slots
• One customer saw an £800K revenue uplift in their first year

We started in waste management deliberately. It's one of the hardest planning environments in existence: high variability, tight regulatory rules, constant real-time changes. If you can solve scheduling there, you can solve it anywhere in industrial logistics.

The backstory: Fred and I met at Oxford 13 years ago. In 2022 we started building ERP software for waste operators. We spent early mornings in depots watching planners work, rode in trucks, sat next to schedulers as they built their routes. 

We pivoted to Dayjob in January 2025. We're now at $496K ARR, growing fast, and scheduling is just our first agent. We have three more covering the full operational workflow launching later this year.

We'd love to connect with: Anyone in the waste-hauling market or the broader industrial logistics market.
