Logistics & 3PL

Contract AI for 3PL and warehousing providers

Q: Can goHeather review a 3PL agreement written by the client?

Yes. On a tender, the client’s own paper is the usual starting point. Upload the agreement with its rate cards and service schedules and goHeather reads them together from the provider’s side, quoting each clause it flags with a plain-English summary of how it is drafted.

Q: Can goHeather draft a warehousing agreement from our template?

Yes. Upload the services agreement you already use, or start from one of 10,500+ lawyer-made templates. goHeather asks about the client, the site, the storage and handling rates and the term, proposes an outline for you to approve, and writes a complete first draft. If a clause is missing, such as a stock-take process or a rate review, ask for it and it is added. The draft exports to Word with track changes.

Q: Which logistics contracts can goHeather draft and review?

Warehousing and third-party logistics agreements, fulfillment contracts, service level agreements, distribution agreements, brokerage terms and NDAs. You can draft your own version from a template or upload the client’s paper for review, including the revised drafts that come back during a rate review. goHeather is a general contract AI, so it also drafts and reads equipment leases, property agreements and the employment paperwork for your sites.

Q: How long does a 3PL contract review take?

A few minutes, schedules included. Findings in a long 3PL agreement are ranked high, medium and low, so your commercial team knows what the document says before space and labor are committed to a go-live date.

Q: Can we check every logistics contract against our own positions?

Yes, with playbooks. Write down the positions your operation works to, such as the liability limits you accept, the insurance you carry or the rate mechanism you need over a five-year term. goHeather checks each incoming agreement against them and marks every rule compliant or non-compliant, with the relevant clause quoted.

Q: Is our 3PL rate card used to train the AI?

No. Your documents are never used to train our models and never sold. Rate cards, volumes and client names are encrypted, our database provider meets bank-grade security standards, and goHeather runs more than 25 enterprise-grade security controls. Our security page has the full breakdown.

Q: Does legal AI for logistics replace our lawyers?

No. goHeather is a contracts AI, not a law firm. It handles the first read of thin-margin contracts where a full legal review is hard to justify, which leaves your lawyer’s time for the agreements that need it. It tells you what the agreement says and what to look at. It does not tell you what to accept.

Draft your warehousing or fulfillment agreement from your own template, or upload the client’s 3PL contract and get its liability, insurance, storage rate and volume clauses quoted back in minutes. Then send redlines in Word and collect e-signatures in the same place.

What it checks

What goHeather drafts and checks in a warehousing agreement

The clauses it covers in warehousing, 3PL and distribution agreements, whether you draft them or receive them

A warehousing or third-party logistics agreement ties up space, racking and labor for years, and the clauses that decide whether it stays profitable usually sit in the schedules rather than the main form. goHeather covers the clauses below in both directions: when it drafts your own services agreement from your templates, and when it reviews the client’s paper, where each one comes back quoted with a plain-English summary of how it is drafted. What to do about any of them is a decision for you and your lawyer.

Liability for goods and insurance

Custody liability. What the agreement makes you liable for while goods are in your care, and whether any limit is expressed.
Basis of valuation. Whether loss is measured at cost, replacement value or sale value.
Shrinkage tolerance. Whether any allowance is given, and how discrepancies found at stock-take are handled.
Insurance. Who is required to insure the goods, at what level, and whether the agreement refers to your cover when setting liability.
Consequential loss. Whether it is excluded, and whether the exclusion runs both ways.

Storage rates, volumes and term

Rate review. Whether there is an index, a review date or a cost mechanism, and what triggers it.
Minimum volumes. What the client commits to, and whether the commitment is matched by your own obligations.
Ancillary charges. What is chargeable outside the headline rate, and what is deemed included.
Term. The minimum period, and how it interacts with the space and labor you are committing.
Payment terms and set-off. The payment period, and how widely any set-off right is drafted.

Service level agreement terms and credits

The measures. What the service level agreement measures, over what period, and how each figure is calculated.
Service credits. How they are calculated, whether they are capped, and whether they are expressed as a sole remedy.
Client dependencies. What the client must do for you to hit the measure, and what the agreement says when they do not.
Force majeure. Which events the clause covers, and which it excludes.

Termination and exit

Termination rights. Which party has them, on what notice, and on what grounds.
Committed costs. What the agreement says about racking, fit-out and labor committed for the term.
Stock removal. How goods come off site, who pays, and what happens to goods left behind.
Exit assistance. What you are required to provide on handover, and whether it is chargeable.

How goHeather fits your 3PL contract process

Logistics contracts are long and often signed against a go-live deadline, which is usually when the full legal read gets skipped. With goHeather, you draft your own agreement from a template or upload the client’s, and the main form and schedules are read together. Each clause above comes back quoted and summarized. You then send redlines as a Word file with track changes, compare the version that comes back, and collect e-signatures once both sides agree. Along the way you can see which contracts are worth sending to a lawyer.

goHeather is a contracts AI, not a law firm. It tells you what your agreement says and what to look at. It does not tell you what to accept.
