End-to-End Visibility
End-to-End Visibility
One screen. Every exception. Nothing missed.
Your Command Center for Every Exception.
Orders, shipments, invoices, appointments, yard — five modules, five different places to notice a problem. By the time someone catches it, it's already late. End-to-End Visibility puts every exception across all five in one screen, live. An order that hasn't been planned with its must-pickup date closing in gets flagged, the shipper is notified, and asked to approve an automatic shipment build. A shipment every carrier in the lane has turned down surfaces here too, with an agent already working the outreach to other carriers alongside your team. An invoice that fails audit the moment it's created — a discrepancy beyond tolerance — gets flagged here too, with the Invoice Agent already reviewing it against the gate log and contract rates. A trailer sitting in the yard past its window gets the carrier told to come get it — it's not a free parking space. Every exception in one place, actioned manually by your team or handed off to the agents you've trained to take it from here.
- One screen across orders, shipments, invoices, appointments, and yard — no more checking five systems for the same problem.
- Order not planned and the must-pickup date is closing in — shipper is notified and asked to approve an automatic shipment build.
- Shipment rejected by every carrier in the lane — flagged here, with an agent working the carrier outreach alongside your team.
- Invoice fails audit on creation — flagged instantly for a discrepancy beyond tolerance, with the Invoice Agent already reviewing it.
- Trailer sitting in the yard past its window — the carrier gets told to come get it.
- Action every exception manually, or train the agents to handle the ones you trust them with.
Platform
Our platform handles the coordination work behind quoting, booking, tracking, dock scheduling, and exceptions, so your team can run freight without the noise.
Rates & Carriers
Right price. Right carrier. No guessing.
Contracts, routes, and accessorials stay tight and organized. The best carrier is selected automatically based on cost or performance. Your network stays sharp, current, and ready.
Orders & Shipments
Know what’s coming. Know what’s moving.
Sales orders flow cleanly from your ERP and consolidate into shipments without the usual spreadsheet chaos. Every load has a clear plan, a clear path, and a clear next step. No surprises. No scrambling.
Gates, Docks & Yard
Calm gate. Clean dock. Organized yard.
Appointments stay tight, docks run on time, and drop trailers stay in order. Trucks hit the right door, forklifts stay busy, and yard flow stays predictable. Chaos disappears.
Billing & Audit
Truth in the bill. No leaks.
Charges are verified automatically, accessorials captured, and invoices kept honest. No missed revenue. No disputes. No chasing down errors.
Analytics & Reporting
See what's coming. Know what to do.
Beyond dashboards: predictive alerts on shipments and carriers at risk, plus AI-powered recommendations on what to do about it, before it costs you.
AI Agents
Agents are the new UI.
Reach a Shipment Agent or Invoice Agent from web chat, Teams, Slack, or email to create, update, or approve — with a person always making the final call.
EDI Integration
Orders in. Tenders out. No re-keying.
Sales orders arrive via EDI 850, load tenders go out via EDI 204, and status flows back automatically, with no human re-entry in between.
End-to-End Visibility
One screen. Every exception. Nothing missed.
Orders, shipments, invoices, appointments, and yard exceptions in one feed — actioned manually or handed off to your trained AI agents.
