One load record. Every party on it. Shippers, carriers and dispatch, on one record.
Shippers book and track, carriers onboard and upload PODs, and dispatch sees gate times on one load record. Each side gets its own front door.
Gate times and PODs on the load record
Load record first
A POD upload tied to the load record is often worth more than any dashboard.

What walks in
What dispatch usually tells us before a portal, and what we change first
“Detention disputes go to whoever finds the gate timestamp first.”
Appointment, gate-in and gate-out recorded per container or stop on the load record, with who entered them.

“Carriers are not paid while the POD sits on a phone.”
Drivers upload the POD to the load record from a phone, matched with the rate confirmation for pay and invoicing.
Seen in: Logistics & Freight
“Shippers call dispatch to ask where their load is.”
Shippers log in to book, see status and download BOLs, PODs and invoices themselves.
Seen in: Logistics & Freight
“Carrier onboarding is an emailed PDF.”
Sign-up collects MC/DOT authority and insurance, and later changes to contact or payment details are flagged for a person.

“Load status lives in one person’s spreadsheet.”
Status updates from carriers and dispatch land on the load record, and the TMS and accounting software read from it.

What you get
Six things the portal does, built and run by the same engineers
One load record
Reference, lane, equipment, rate confirmation and status on one record that shippers, carriers and dispatch all work from.
Gate times per container
Appointment, gate-in and gate-out recorded per container or stop, with who entered them, so free time and detention are seen before they are billed.
POD upload from a phone
Drivers accept loads, update status and upload the POD photo from a phone, in English and Spanish.
A front door for shippers
Shippers request quotes, book, see status and download BOLs, PODs and invoices without calling dispatch.
Carrier onboarding that keeps checking
Sign-up collects MC/DOT authority and a certificate of insurance, and later changes to contact or payment details are flagged for a person to confirm.
Connected to your TMS and accounting
Load data reaches the TMS and accounting software without retyping, where they offer an API or EDI (the ways systems exchange data automatically) or a dependable export.
Who it is for
For freight firms with many parties on every load
A good fit
Dispatch spends its day relaying.
Status calls, POD chasing and timestamp hunts take the hours your team should spend booking loads.
- You move freight for shippers with carriers or owner-operators.
- Dispatch chases PODs, relays status and digs for timestamps.
- You want shippers and carriers to serve themselves on one record.

Not a fit yet
Want a public load board?
A board for the whole market is a marketplace business, not a portal for your own loads.
Start with a portal for your own shippers and carriers.
Only need better quote requests?
Logins and load records are more than you need for that.

How a portal gets built
The load record first, then the two front doors
-
Step 01
Map one load, end to end
We follow one load from quote to paid invoice with your dispatch team and note who touches it and where it gets stuck.
-
Step 02
Design two front doors
Shippers and carriers get their own steps and wording, in English and Spanish, both landing on the same load record.
-
Step 03
Gate times and PODs first
The load record, gate timestamps and POD upload come first, because that is where money leaks. Booking and carrier pay follow.
-
Step 04
Run it every month
The same engineers monitor, update and extend the portal on a monthly plan, including on your busiest days.
