FreightScout vs Augment
FreightScout: best as the layer that runs booking, check calls, and exceptions on the TMS you already keep, next to Augment.
Augment's freight brokerages page describes Augie as a teammate for quoting, building, sourcing, tracking, and billing on the systems a brokerage already runs. FreightScout finds the shipper first, then covers, tracks, and bills.

Side by side
| Compared | Augment | FreightScout |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer | Brokerages, plus carriers and distributors | Brokerages |
| The load | Quote, build, source, track, and bill | Win the account, then run the load |
| The account | Not the job on the brokerage page | Finding the shipper and winning it |
| Controls | Guardrails, thresholds, and approval paths | You pick what can run on its own |
Choose Augment when
The freight is already yours, and you want the desk work after that: quoting, building the load, carrier outreach, tracking, documents, and the invoice.
Their brokerage page says you set guardrails, thresholds, exceptions, and approval paths, and Augie stays inside them.
Choose FreightScout when
You want the account found and won, then the load run in one product.
Most freight software watches your business. FreightScout wins freight and then runs it.
FreightScout integrates with the TMS by API where one exists, and by reading it in place where it doesn't. Write-back is live on McLeod, Aljex, and Tai.
Booking and outreach are supervised by default, switch to autopilot per team and per action. Every action is logged and reversible.
FreightScout is not a TMS, not a load board. The TMS stays the system of record.

Questions people actually ask
How is FreightScout different from Augment?
Augment, on the pages we read, runs the work after a brokerage has the freight. FreightScout adds winning the account before that work starts.
Do I have to replace Augment to use FreightScout?
No. Nothing here says you have to pull a tool out. Use this page to match the product to the gap.
Does Augment replace a TMS?
No. Their brokerage page says there's no new system to adopt, and the TMS you run stays put.
What should I read on Augment's site?
Read the freight brokerages page first, then the home page and the platform page. We didn't bring their performance figures over.
What is the best Augment alternative for freight brokers?
If the gap is quote-to-cash on freight you already hold, Augment is a real option. If you also need the account found, use the FreightScout column in the table.
