Freight execution platform

Freight is one of the biggest uncontrolled line items on your P&L.

LiveLOADS closes that gap. It sits on top of the carriers, TMS, and ERP you already have, and pulls quoting, tendering, paperwork, and tracking into one place your finance team can audit.

The platform

One system from quote to proof of delivery.

Built for the two people who own freight. The finance lead who signs needs control. The coordinator who runs the desk needs relief. LiveLOADS gives each of them the half they need.

For finance — control

Rate benchmarks

Know what a fair rate on your top lanes was last quarter, and pull it up in under two minutes. Benchmarks per lane and per mode, before the money goes out the door.

Carrier scorecards

On-time percentage, cost per lane, claims. When the scorecard sits on one screen, carrier rate increases stop passing through unchallenged.

Automatic audit trail

Every quote, tender, rate confirmation, and invoice in one record. Finance verifies freight spend without asking the desk for a single email.

Invoice match

Quoted rate against billed rate, flagged line by line. Accessorials get challenged before they turn into write-offs.

For the freight desk — relief

Quoting

Rates from your own carriers in one view. No more re-keying quotes between inboxes and spreadsheets. At one mid-market business, the quoting cycle went from 2 hours to 10 minutes.

Tendering & booking

Tender, book, and confirm in the same flow. Booking runs 6× faster, measured at a mid-market business, and every confirmation files itself.

Carrier paperwork

BOLs, PODs, and insurance certificates get collected and filed as the load moves. Nobody chases a document by phone at 4:55 pm.

Tracking

Status on every open load in one place, with the trail kept for the record. When someone asks where their shipment is, the desk answers from a screen instead of a phone tree.

The problem, in financial terms

The three money leaks.

Finance sees a total spend number. No rate benchmark. No audit trail. No way to know if you're overpaying. That gap is concrete, and it has three names.

01

The Chase

Quotes, tenders, and PODs get chased by email and phone. Skilled coordinators spend their day running down documents instead of running freight.

Closed byQuoting, tendering, and paperwork in one flow. Documents file themselves as the load moves.
02

The Blind Spot

No lane benchmarks and no carrier scorecards. Annual rate increases pass through unchallenged because nobody can say what a fair rate was.

Closed byPer-lane rate benchmarks and carrier scorecards on one screen, before the money is spent.
03

The Drag

Skilled staff re-keying data between inboxes, spreadsheets, and the TMS. Every keystroke gets paid for twice: once in wages, once in errors.

Proof, not promises

What measured results look like.

“Freight is one of our biggest uncontrolled line items. LiveLOADS turned it into a number we can defend, with the audit trail behind it.”

Why LiveLOADS

Not a broker. Not another TMS.

You already have carriers and systems. LiveLOADS doesn't replace them. It puts them under control.

The alternatives

What you're buying today

  • Brokers take a margin on every load and sit between you and your carriers
  • Rate opacity. You see the price, never the benchmark
  • A legacy TMS replaces your systems in a months-long implementation
  • Your carrier relationships get re-wired to someone else's network
LiveLOADS

What changes

  • Zero margin on freight. Your carrier relationships stay yours.
  • Per-lane benchmarks and an audit trail before the money is spent
  • Deployed in weeks, on top of the TMS, ERP, and carriers you already run
  • Bespoke pricing quoted after the audit. You see the numbers before you see an invoice.

Every engagement includes a 90-day free trial and setup.

More than savings

Savings are the floor. The rest is upside.

Closing the money leaks pays for the platform. Everything below it is what your team and your P&L keep.

Revenue on your terms

Set your own up-charge on the freight you move. With per-lane benchmarks and your quote history behind every price, you know what the market pays and what you can charge.

Menial communication, gone

Status updates and check-ins go out automatically as the load moves. The email threads, the "just checking in" calls, the chasing. They stop.

The Excel sheet, retired

Every load, rate, and document gets captured as it happens. Nobody re-keys the day's freight into a spreadsheet at 5 pm.

You own the data

Full transparency across your logistics network. Every lane, every carrier, every rate. Your shipping data sits on your side of the table.

Your quote history, searchable

Every quote you've ever run is on record. Benchmark a new quote against your own history before you accept it, not after.

Digital rate card

Your rates, digitized. Tenders go to your most trusted partners first, at your rates, under your rules.

Connects both directions

Integrates with your ERP and accounting software.

Freight data flows straight into the systems finance already runs — general ledger, payables, cost centres. One number, from quote to close, with no re-keying in between.

How it goes live

Weeks, not quarters.

No rip-and-replace. LiveLOADS connects to the systems and carrier relationships you already have. The desk keeps working while it comes online.

Week 1

The audit

We walk your last 30 days of shipping and map the three money leaks, with numbers instead of opinions.

Weeks 2–3

Connect

Carriers, TMS, and ERP linked. Quoting and paperwork start flowing through one system.

Weeks 4–6

Control

Benchmarks and scorecards go live for finance. The desk stops chasing documents.

Before you commit

Try it on two or three of your own lanes.

Pick a handful of live lanes and run them through LiveLOADS beside your current process. You see the benchmarks, the paperwork, and the audit trail on your own freight. Nothing gets replaced.

Not ready to touch live lanes? Run the pilot with an approved carrier partner we provide, on freight that doesn't touch your operation.

Then comes the 90-day free trial and setup, long enough for the desk to feel the operational difference and for finance to see it in the numbers.

Questions, answered plainly

What businesses ask before the meeting.

What is a freight execution platform?
The layer between your carriers and your finance team. It pulls quoting, tendering, paperwork, and tracking into one auditable place, then adds what neither side had: per-lane rate benchmarks, carrier scorecards, and an automatic audit trail.
Is LiveLOADS a freight broker?
No. Brokers take a margin on every load and sit between you and your carriers. LiveLOADS takes zero margin on freight, and your carrier relationships stay yours. It's the first thing to know about us, so we put it in the category line.
How is LiveLOADS different from a TMS?
A TMS replaces your systems in a months-long implementation. LiveLOADS deploys in weeks on top of the TMS, ERP, and carriers you already run, and it gives finance a view a TMS was never built for: benchmarks and an audit trail before the money is spent.
What happens in the free 20-minute audit?
We walk your last 30 days of shipping and map the three money leaks: the Chase, the Blind Spot, and the Drag. With numbers, not opinions. You keep the map either way. No contract, no quote, no follow-up sequence unless you ask.
What does the pilot involve?
Two or three of your own live lanes, run through LiveLOADS beside your current process. You see the benchmarks, the paperwork, and the audit trail on your own freight. If you'd rather not touch live lanes yet, run the pilot with an approved carrier partner we provide. Every engagement includes a 90-day free trial and setup.
Who is LiveLOADS for?
Mid-market manufacturers, distributors, and CPG brands spending $100K+ a year on freight and running 20+ loads a month with a lean team. Anywhere in North America. Below that volume, the leaks are real but smaller than the fix.
Does LiveLOADS integrate with our ERP and accounting software?
Yes, in both directions — quoting and tendering on the way out, general ledger, payables, and cost-centre data on the way in. Freight data flows once, into the systems finance already runs. Ask about your specific ERP in the meeting.
Who owns my shipping data?
You do. Every lane, every carrier, every rate, captured as the load moves and kept on your side of the table. Your full quote history stays searchable, so you can benchmark any new quote against your own history.
How long does it take to go live?
Weeks, not quarters. Week one is the audit. Weeks two and three connect your carriers, TMS, and ERP. By weeks four to six the benchmarks and scorecards are live for finance and the desk has stopped chasing documents.
