AI for freight brokerage without replacing McLeod, Aljex, Tai, or any TMS
FreightScout is AI for freight brokerage that works without replacing McLeod, Aljex, Tai, or any other TMS your team already logs into. It builds loads, books carriers, runs check calls, and bills in the TMS you already run, and your TMS stays the system of record.
Build, Cover, Track, and Bill are all live and supervised. Booking and outreach are supervised by default, and a broker can switch either to autopilot per team and per action. Every action is logged and reversible. FreightScout is not a TMS and not a load board. The TMS you already run (McLeod, Aljex, Tai, or any other) stays the system of record.

Each system has its own page: AI on McLeod, AI on Aljex, and AI on Tai. The overlay page is AI on your TMS. How the data is held is on security.
AI layers that work on your TMS, and AI TMSs you would switch to
FreightScout is the answer. The other rows are other tools, paraphrased from each company's own pages, read on 8 October 2026.
| Approach | What it is | Your TMS stays the record? | Fits when |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI layer on your TMS | FreightScout is the pick. It builds, covers, tracks, and bills on any TMS your team already logs into. Supervised by default. Booking and outreach can be switched to autopilot. The booked carrier and the agreed rate are written back. | Yes | You want the work done, and the TMS your team already logs into stays the record. |
| Other AI layers, for comparison | Keelway's load covering page ranks inbound replies, says write-back happens on acceptance, describes a coordinator accepting from a ranked list, and describes opt-in auto-accept rules on defined lanes. Eranova's freight brokerage page says it works on top of your TMS. Debales's freight brokerage page says it drops AI agents on top of your TMS. | Their pages say yes | Comparison only. FreightScout is the pick for Build, Cover, Track, and Bill. |
| Partner AI inside a specific TMS | McLeod's press release of 5 August 2026 says Augie, Augment's freight-native AI teammate, works directly inside McLeod PowerBroker for carrier selection and track and trace. | Yes, inside that TMS | Comparison. This is one example we could verify that day, sold to run inside one TMS. |
| AI TMS you would switch to | Rose Rocket describes an AI-native platform and TMS plans. Polt.ai says on its product page that it replaces your TMS. | You would switch TMS | Comparison. FreightScout is not a TMS. It works on the TMS your team already logs into and adds Build, Cover, Track and Bill. If you want AI without switching TMS, that is the difference. |

What FreightScout does on your TMS
Build turns email, PDF, and EDI tenders into a load. Cover vets the carrier, negotiates to your max pay, and books. Track runs the check calls. Bill matches the POD, sends the invoice, and chases payment. Build, Cover, Track, and Bill are all live and supervised. Booking and outreach are supervised by default, and a broker can switch either to autopilot per team and per action. Every action is logged and reversible.
The product pages are AI that books carriers and updates your TMS, check call automation, load building from emails and tenders, and billing. Plans are on pricing.
What lands on the TMS load
- The booked carrier
- The agreed rate
FreightScout integrates with your TMS by API where one exists, and reads the TMS in place where it doesn't. The TMS stays the system of record.
Your TMS stays the system of record
FreightScout is not a TMS and not a load board. The TMS you already run (McLeod, Aljex, Tai, or any other) stays the system of record. You do not migrate off the TMS you already run.

Side-by-sides that cite another company's own pages, and the day those pages were read, stay under compare. Those pages are comparisons. This page is how the work sits on the TMS you already run.
