Freight brokers use multiple software to manage their day-to-day business operations. Most freight brokerage software are built using older (legacy) technology. However, to compete with the increasing demands of shippers and customers, many brokerage firms are adopting the cloud software. Many build their own software by hiring software developers, and others use SaaS software (software as a solution). With any software, you'll need to pay close attention to your needs, and not be distracted by the bells and whistles.
We put together a list of things to look for in a freight broker software in 2025.
Sending freight quotes to your customers is a very important aspect in your freight brokerage operations. For example: When a shipper reaches out to you asking for a quote for moving 22 pallets of potatoes from Idaho to New Jersey. All you need is to fill out a few fields and the quote should be ready within a few seconds. The sooner you respond, the higher the chance of getting that load.
With FreightPrint you can easily create an order and save in as a quote. As soon as the information is typed out, the software automatically sends it to the shipper for review and confirmation. An quote can be easily converted into a load and then assign a carrier for pickup and delivery.
Getting the freight load from the shipper is only half of the equation. Now, you have to find a carrier who'd be willing to work with you to go pickup and deliver the load. The old way of doing things would be to call your carriers or dispatchers, or post on a load board. This process is tedious and often unproductive.
With FreightPrint you can select a list of carriers and send a load broadcast. The carriers can see the load and respond to your rate. They can “Accept,” “Reject” or “Make an Offer.” After evaluating the carrier responses, you can easily award the load to the carrier of your choice.

When you're ready to work with a carrier, you'll need some paperwork from them to ensure that they're qualified to do business with you. You'll need to request their proof of insurance, W-9 form, DOT certificate from FMCSA, CDL Driver's license etc.
FreightPrint allows you to collect these documents digitally and store them in your dashboard. You can check these documents anytime.
3PLs or Third-Party Logistics companies handle different aspects of supply chain. Some 3PLs handle warehousing and distribution of freight for their shipper customers. Many brokerages have storage facility with ample equipments to handle inbound shipments. Unloading, storage, retrieval and packaging for outbound delivery are all critical functions of a 3PL.
FreightPrint's technology comes with mobile QR code scanners. It allows you to print labels and scan them for tracking and storage purposes. You can easily create a route or trip by selecting shipments, and printing manifests with QR codes labels for easy scanning.

Once the shipment is active, you'll need to track the status and location of the shipment at all times. Load tracking is now an essential function in freight brokerages. With smart technology you're able to see the progress of your loads, and give you valuable insights regarding your trucking operations.
FreightPrint comes with real-time load tracking. It's built in to the FreightPrint mobile app, which allows you to track and trace every shipment, and keep you and your customers informed about the status of their deliveries.
When working with multiple carriers to move your freight, accounting can be a challenge. Each hauler will have his own way of invoicing and transmitting the proof of delivery documents to you. Some will fax or email, others will send text messages with pictures attached, and some others may use regular mail. As a result, your accounting department has to cross check BOLs against orders, and verify rates and other billing arrangements made with third party carriers.
FreightPrint not only helps shippers, but it also helps haulers through auto-invoicing capabilities. Receive auto-generated invoices from any carrier, along with proof of delivery (POD). Update invoice statuses with notes. You can also process payments from your customers through our Stripe Payment Integration via Card, ACH or Bank-to-Bank transactions.
Whether you're a new or a seasoned freight broker, you know that it's a freight brokerage is a highly competitive industry. Companies go in and out of business frequently. It is important to stay ahead of the curve. One easy way to make your freight business competitive is by using a intelligent freight brokers software.
