Supply Chain and Warehouse Operations

Know in real time which loads are covered—and which still need a carrier

A freight broker tracks loads and carrier assignments across a spreadsheet and phone calls, so nobody has real-time visibility into which loads are covered versus still needing a carrier. Build a shared board every dispatcher sees the same way.

"I think that one's covered" isn't a dispatch system

A spreadsheet updated by phone calls drifts out of date fast. An uncovered load can sit unnoticed while everyone assumes someone else handled it—right up until the shipper calls asking where their truck is.

Require an explicit carrier acceptance before a load counts as covered, so the coverage status is never a guess.

From posting to settlement
  1. 1. Shipper posts a load with pickup, destination, and requirements
  2. 2. Broker sources and assigns a carrier with a quoted rate
  3. 3. Carrier is dispatched and load status is tracked in transit
  4. 4. Proof of delivery is collected on completion
  5. 5. Settlement is calculated between shipper, carrier, and broker margin

Example build brief

Example prompt
Build a freight broker management app with load posting, carrier sourcing and dispatch, in-transit status tracking, proof of delivery, and settlement calculation.

Scenarios to test in your preview

  • A load must not show as covered until a carrier has confirmed acceptance, not just been contacted.
  • Settlement must reflect the actual quoted rate, not a renegotiated one that wasn't recorded.
  • A load without proof of delivery must not be marked complete for settlement purposes.
FAQ

Common questions about freight broker software

Who is this for?

Freight brokers matching shipper loads to carriers who need real-time coverage visibility.

Can carriers accept loads themselves?

Yes—give carriers portal access to view and accept posted loads directly.

How is this different from a TMS?

This is built for the broker's carrier-sourcing workflow. See transportation management system for the shipper-side tendering model.
