FreightScout works on top of Aljex

FreightScout: best as the layer that runs booking, check calls, and exceptions on the TMS you already keep, next to Aljex.

FreightScout works on top of Aljex. It builds the load, books the carrier, runs check calls, and bills, and Aljex stays the system of record. Aljex presents itself as a complete freight broker TMS and says its software helps you win more freight through a more productive user experience. Most freight software watches your business. FreightScout wins freight and then runs it. FreightScout is one product covering the whole load. It finds the right prospects, coaches real sales meetings, quotes live freight, and runs the follow up that wins the business. It then executes the loads that are won, attributing margin to the rep and the dispatcher who earned it and running an agent that proposes the next action and carries it out against real TMS data once a human approves. It runs in production today on 148,220 real loads. Aljex is a TMS and FreightScout is not, so this is not really a choice between them. The overlap is the phrase win more freight. Aljex means a faster screen for the people already doing the work. FreightScout means finding the prospect, coaching the meeting, quoting the lane and running the follow up that closes it.
