01

How we implement

Built around how work actually runs in freight brokerage

We start with one desk and its lanes, mapping how loads move through your TMS. Vetting rules come from your compliance policy, and nothing is tendered automatically until your brokers approve the rules.

Discovery call: We walk through your current process and tools (free, 30 minutes).

Workflow map & fixed quote: Written scope, software costs listed separately, compliance notes included.

Build in a test environment: Your accounts, test data first, then a supervised pilot.

Handover: Documentation, training and an optional support plan.

Limitations & compliance notes

  • Brokers need FMCSA broker authority and a surety bond; carrier selection decisions remain with your staff.
  • Carrier fraud patterns change quickly; vetting rules should be reviewed regularly with your compliance lead.

General information, not legal advice. Confirm requirements with your own counsel or compliance officer.
