As a transportation business with a recently added brokering arm, you’re navigating complex operational needs. From managing over-the-road transports to moving brokered loads, finding an efficient transportation management system (TMS) is critical to your success. Based on your needs, you’re seeking a TMS that helps you schedule, dispatch, track loads, and manage data, while staying within a $100/month budget. FreightPrint offers a solution tailored to these exact needs—streamlining your operations while providing flexibility for future growth.

1. Streamlining Operations with FreightPrint’s Transportation Management System (TMS)

Your current setup of using both Central Dispatch and Super Dispatch to manage load activity is likely causing inefficiencies, particularly in managing data across multiple systems. With FreightPrint, you can consolidate all your transportation management activities into a single platform, allowing for a smoother workflow and better visibility.

FreightPrint provides an intuitive interface for scheduling, dispatching, and tracking loads, enabling you to easily manage both your carrier operations and brokering arm. Whether you're dealing with your own trucks or working with external carriers for your brokerage, you can track load statuses, monitor vehicle locations, and ensure that all dispatches are handled seamlessly. This consolidation will save you time, reduce manual work, and eliminate the confusion of juggling multiple systems.

2. Carrier and Broker Integration in One Platform

One of the standout needs for your business is managing both your carrier operations and your growing brokerage business. FreightPrint’s TMS allows you to easily handle these dual functions within a single system. You can schedule your own fleet of trucks, manage loads, and, at the same time, oversee the loads you’re brokering for other carriers.

For your brokerage, FreightPrint provides features that simplify the process of managing carrier packets, rate confirmations, and load documentation. You’ll have access to all the tools you need to ensure the carriers you work with are fully compliant and that rate cons are tracked efficiently.

This integration between your trucking operations and brokerage will allow your business to grow without the need for additional software systems, keeping costs low while improving operational efficiency.

3. Optimized Scheduling and Dispatching

Dispatching is a critical function in any transportation business, and FreightPrint helps ensure that your dispatches are smooth, timely, and efficient. Whether you’re dispatching your own fleet of trucks or managing loads for your brokerage, FreightPrint offers easy-to-use scheduling tools that allow you to plan ahead, optimize routes, and assign loads to the right carriers.

With FreightPrint, you’ll have real-time visibility over all your loads. This allows you to quickly react to any changes, such as last-minute requests, delays, or route adjustments. The system provides detailed load tracking, which means you can follow the entire journey of each load, from pickup to delivery. This level of visibility is especially important for your brokerage business, where real-time updates are crucial for maintaining trust with your clients.

4. Load Tracking and Documentation

Load tracking is one of your primary concerns, particularly when managing loads between your carrier and brokering operations. FreightPrint makes load tracking simple and efficient. With a unified platform, you can easily view and track the progress of all loads, whether they’re managed by your own trucks or third-party carriers through your brokerage.

In addition to tracking the load, FreightPrint helps you manage all related documentation. Carrier packets, rate confirmations, and other essential documents are stored in one place, making it easy to access and verify information as needed. This minimizes the risk of lost documents and ensures you have everything at hand when working with carriers and customers.

5. Flexibility in Device Usage

Your team uses a variety of devices, including Mac, Windows, and iOS. FreightPrint is fully compatible with all these platforms, ensuring that your team can access the system from any device, at any time. Whether your operations manager is working from a desktop in the office or your drivers are accessing load details on their mobile devices, FreightPrint ensures a seamless experience across all platforms.

This flexibility is particularly valuable for a small team like yours, where each employee may need to access the system from multiple devices. With FreightPrint, you won’t need to worry about compatibility issues, allowing your team to focus on the task at hand.

6. Cost-Effective and Scalable

One of your key concerns is finding a TMS that fits within a $100/month budget, with a total cost of ownership (TCO) over three years capped at $3,600. FreightPrint offers an affordable solution that fits comfortably within this budget, without sacrificing functionality. Our pricing structure is designed to be flexible for businesses like yours, allowing you to get the features you need without overpaying for unnecessary extras.

As your business grows, FreightPrint can scale with you. Whether you increase the number of trucks in your fleet or expand your brokerage to move more loads, FreightPrint’s platform is built to accommodate growth without requiring you to switch to a more expensive system. This scalability ensures that you can continue using the same system as your business expands, providing long-term value.

7. No Need to Replace Your Invoicing System

Since you’re already using an outside invoicing system and are not seeking to replace it, FreightPrint integrates seamlessly with your existing tools. You won’t need to worry about duplicating efforts or introducing inefficiencies into your billing process. Instead, you can continue using your current invoicing system while FreightPrint handles the scheduling, dispatching, and load tracking side of your business.

This flexibility allows you to keep the systems that are working for you while adding the necessary tools to manage your growing transportation and brokering operations effectively.

8. On-Premise or SaaS: The Choice is Yours

FreightPrint offers both on-premise and SaaS (cloud-based) deployment options, giving you the flexibility to choose the setup that best fits your needs. If you prefer the ease and accessibility of a SaaS solution, you can access FreightPrint from anywhere with an internet connection. This option is ideal if your team is distributed across different locations or if you prefer not to manage on-site servers.

Alternatively, if you prefer to have more control over your data and infrastructure, FreightPrint can also be deployed on-premise. This option gives you the ability to host the system on your own servers while still benefiting from the same powerful features and user-friendly interface.

9. An Easy Transition to FreightPrint

Transitioning to a new system can be daunting, but FreightPrint makes the process as smooth as possible. Our team provides support to ensure that your system is up and running quickly, with minimal disruption to your operations. We’ll help you import your existing data and train your team to ensure they’re comfortable with the platform.

For a business like yours that needs to move quickly, this streamlined onboarding process is crucial. You’ll be able to start using FreightPrint almost immediately, without the long setup times often associated with other systems.

Conclusion

As a transportation business with a recently added brokering arm, you need a transportation management system that can streamline your operations, provide real-time load tracking, and scale with your growing business—all while staying within a budget of $100/month. FreightPrint offers a comprehensive solution that meets these needs, providing an easy-to-use platform for scheduling, dispatching, and managing your carrier and brokerage operations.
