Index McLeod Software data with LlamaIndex
Turn your transportation records into a searchable knowledge base. By running `list_customers` and `list_orders` through your indexing pipeline, you make historical data queryable. Your RAG application references this index to answer complex questions. Instead of guessing, the agent retrieves grounded facts from your actual system records.
Contextual search in LlamaIndex
Query your entire fleet history using semantic search. When you call `list_movements` and `list_stops`, the output is ingested directly into your vector store. This gives your agent a long-term memory of past shipments. It compares new load requests against previous movement patterns stored in your index.
Automated record retrieval for LlamaIndex
Keep your LlamaIndex knowledge current with live data calls. Your agent fetches the latest `list_carriers` or `list_drivers` entries whenever the index requires a refresh. This keeps your responses accurate. You avoid stale information by ensuring the agent pulls fresh API data before executing any search or summary task.
