Questions and answers
Trace for Brokers is a brokerage TMS for freight brokers and 3PLs, with the agent built into every step. One load record carries the quote, the carrier, the tracking, and the invoice, so your team can quote, cover, move, and collect without switching systems, with the margin in view from the first email. Requests, carrier replies, calls, and documents are classified and filed to the right load, so nothing lives in someone's inbox. Your shippers get a portal to quote, book, track, and download their documents.
Yes. Trace can be your TMS, but it does not have to be. Start with one part, such as quoting, beside the TMS you run today, with the agent reading and writing the records you already keep, and move the rest across when you are ready. Your reps keep working while Trace proves itself on your own loads.
From your own history. Every quote, carrier offer, and phoned-in rate becomes a rate on its lane, so your desk prices from market data it already owns. Each lane shows your history, the market benchmark, and a floor you can trust, and your margin rules run on every quote before it reaches a rep. Weather and each carrier's rating on the lane sit beside every rate, so the quote goes out while the freight is still yours.
Yes. One posting goes to DAT, Truckstop, Loadlink, and 123Loadboard at once, while the agent emails and calls the carriers who have run the lane. Every board offer, email, and call comes back in one table, ranked by rate, rating, and history on the lane, and the posting is pulled the moment the load covers.
Sell rate, carrier cost, and every adjustment stay on one load record, from the first email to the paid invoice, so a thin load shows up while you can still act on it. Your margin rules apply to every quote, and the agent negotiates with carriers only inside the limits you set, so leakage is caught before month end.
Yes. Your shippers sign in to a customer portal where a guided form prices the shipment as they type. They can book, follow their freight on a live map, and download PODs, invoices, and claims in one place, so the where's-my-truck question is answered before they call your desk.
Yes. Trace runs freight in Canada and the United States, including cross-border loads, on the same load record as everything else. The agent posts to Loadlink and 123Loadboard as well as DAT and Truckstop, works carriers on both sides of the border, and keeps your customer informed as the load moves.
We run a week of your own loads through Trace with you, so your team sees it work on your real lanes and customers before you hand it anything more. Connect your inbox and the first quotes go out the same week.
Start with the part that hurts most.
Run quoting beside the TMS you have today, and add the rest when you are ready.
