Trucking software, TMS integrations & automation

Keep freight moving. Keep your entire operation connected.

Running a trucking company means coordinating loads, drivers, dispatch, equipment, paperwork, and payments. We build custom software, integrations, and AI-powered workflows that connect your transportation management system, fleet data, and business operations so your team spends less time chasing information and more time keeping trucks moving.

The reality of running a trucking company

The truck is moving. The information is scattered.

The problem usually isn't that you need more software. It's that the information needed to run the business lives in too many different places.

Develop & Conquer

We connect dispatch, drivers, documents, equipment, and accounting so information moves with the load.

One connected load

From booking the freight to collecting payment.

Step through a single load. Every stage creates information that dispatch, drivers, accounting, and management need. We build systems that keep it connected.

Step 1 of 8
A load is accepted or a shipment request comes in, with locations, rate, and requirements recorded.
What we connect

The details become the source for everything that follows.

Reporting
Dispatch & load management

Your dispatcher should see the operation, not chase it.

Dispatchers coordinate trucks, drivers, brokers, shippers, receivers, appointments, and changing schedules. A connected system can bring that into one operational view, and surface the delays that need a decision.

Illustrative data. The system surfaces the situation and suggests next steps. Dispatchers keep control of delivery commitments and operational decisions.

Freight documents & billing

The load is delivered. Why is the invoice still waiting?

Time gets lost when dispatch and accounting have to find documents, enter information, and verify charges by hand before billing. The paperwork should move toward billing as soon as the delivery is complete, not sit in someone's inbox.

  1. 1

    Driver completes delivery

    The stop is marked complete against the load.

  2. 2

    POD uploaded from phone

    The signed proof of delivery is captured in the field.

  3. 3

    Document associated with load

    It's filed against the right load automatically.

  4. 4

    Information extracted

    AI-assisted extraction reads available fields from the document.

  5. 5

    Required fields checked

    Missing signatures or discrepancies are flagged for review.

  6. 6

    Office reviews and approves

    Staff verify important fields before anything is billed.

  7. 7

    Invoice prepared

    The approved load moves into your connected accounting system.

AI document extraction is not guaranteed to be accurate. The system keeps the original documents, flags low-confidence information, and lets staff verify important fields before invoicing.

Ready for billing

Every document accounted for before the invoice goes out.

Instead of hunting through inboxes and truck cabs, the office sees exactly what's in order and what still needs attention.

Detention & delays

Waiting at the dock shouldn't mean losing track of the clock.

A driver arrives for a 9:00 AM appointment. Loading doesn't start until 11:30. The dispatcher is juggling other loads. Without a reliable process, the delay might never get documented, and you can't recover a charge you never documented.

  1. 1

    8:55 AM · Driver arrives

    Arrival at the facility is recorded against the load.

  2. 2

    9:00 AM · Scheduled appointment

    The agreed appointment time is on file from the rate confirmation.

  3. 3

    11:00 AM · Threshold reached

    Elapsed time passes the free period, subject to the agreed terms.

  4. 4

    11:30 AM · Loading begins

    The wait is captured, not left to memory.

  5. 5

    12:15 PM · Driver departs

    Departure closes out the available timestamps.

The system records available arrival and departure information, compares it to the applicable agreement, notifies dispatch, and prepares an accessorial request for staff review. Recovering a charge still depends on the agreement and supporting documentation.

Equipment utilization

The next load matters before the current one ends.

A truck delivering in Reno needs a load home. Instead of checking boards, calling brokers, and comparing freight by hand, a connected system can bring authorized information together so a dispatcher can evaluate the options. Truck 12 delivers at 11:30 AM and is available at 1:00 PM.

We work with what you already have.

We don't promise automatic load-board access or autonomous freight booking. Access to load-board data depends on available integrations, licenses, and platform terms. The value is helping dispatchers evaluate opportunities using information they're authorized to access, including offered rate, loaded miles, deadhead, and revenue per total mile.

Connect your existing software

Your TMS, ELD, load boards, and accounting should work together.

Trucking companies already rely on specialized software for dispatch, fleet tracking, driver records, accounting, and freight. We evaluate the tools you use and build integrations, applications, and workflows that reduce duplicate entry.

We work with what you already have.

Integration feasibility depends on vendor APIs, licensing, permissions, and your existing software. This matters in trucking because many established systems have restricted or commercial API access, so we confirm what's possible before promising it.

Custom software development

When your trucking software doesn't fit how you operate.

Some companies run entirely on an existing TMS. Others have specialized customers, freight types, reporting needs, or settlement processes that standard software doesn't handle well. If your TMS already handles the job, we work with it. If your operation needs something different, we build the missing piece.

Custom dispatch applications

Dispatch views built around your loads, drivers, customers, equipment, and procedures.

Driver mobile applications

Load assignments, delivery instructions, document uploads, messaging, and status reporting.

Customer tracking portals

Give authorized customers access to shipment status, delivery documents, and communication.

Document processing systems

Workflows for organizing, extracting, reviewing, and routing freight documents.

Driver settlement tools

Connect approved trip, mileage, payment, deduction, and settlement information.

Operations dashboards

Bring TMS, telematics, accounting, and other available data into one view.

Internal business applications

Replace critical spreadsheets, disconnected databases, and repetitive admin work.

Driver & dispatch communication

Drivers shouldn't have to manage paperwork from the cab.

Drivers need load details without digging through texts, calls, and email attachments. A purpose-built mobile app makes the right information available when they need it.

Sacramento, CA to Portland, OR. The interface is designed for use while safely parked or through appropriate hands-free interactions, not to encourage drivers to interact with screens while operating a vehicle.

Fleet & equipment

Know what's happening with the equipment behind every load.

Trucking companies manage more than freight. Tractors, trailers, maintenance, inspections, repairs, tires, fuel, and availability all affect what you can dispatch. This is where our connected hardware work comes in.

Know your numbers

A full truck doesn't always mean a profitable load.

Revenue is only part of the picture. Fuel, driver pay, deadhead miles, tolls, and equipment costs all affect what a load actually earns. A connected system can bring those costs together using available financial and operational information.

Common questions

Trucking software and automation, answered.

Can you integrate our transportation management system with other software?

Yes, where supported. We evaluate your TMS, available APIs, licensing, and existing workflows to determine how information can move between dispatch, telematics, accounting, customer systems, and internal applications.

Can trucking dispatch be automated?

Parts of dispatch can be automated or assisted, including load intake, assignments, driver notifications, status tracking, document collection, and exception alerts. Dispatchers can retain control over operational decisions.

Can you connect ELD data with our TMS?

Depending on the ELD and TMS providers, available telematics and driver information may be integrated into dispatch and reporting workflows. These integrations do not replace the carrier's responsibility to use compliant ELD systems where required.

Can AI process bills of lading and proof-of-delivery documents?

AI-assisted document processing can extract information from supported freight documents, associate them with loads, and flag missing or inconsistent fields for review. Important information should be verified before billing or other consequential actions.

Can you automate trucking invoices?

Invoice preparation can be connected to approved rate confirmations, completed delivery records, and applicable accessorial charges. Billing rules and human review can be incorporated according to your requirements.

Can you build a custom trucking dispatch application?

Yes. We develop custom web and mobile applications, dispatch dashboards, driver tools, document workflows, customer portals, and integrations for trucking businesses.

Can you help track detention and additional freight charges?

Systems can record available arrival and departure information, associate it with loads, compare it against agreed terms, and surface potential charges for staff review. Recovering charges depends on the applicable agreement and supporting documentation.

How can AI help a trucking company?

AI can assist with organizing freight documents, summarizing load activity, retrieving information, preparing customer communication, and identifying operational exceptions. Driver safety, compliance, pricing, and dispatch decisions should remain subject to appropriate controls and human oversight.
