Last updated 11 October 2026.

Records are organization-scoped, and mailbox tokens are encrypted. The work is supervised by default. Booking and shipper outreach can be switched to autopilot, per team and per action.

How does a forwarded tender become a load?

The tender is checked against what you committed to that customer, then entered in any TMS your team already logs into. For the customers you choose, in-award tenders are accepted on their own. Forwarded tenders and pasted spreadsheet screenshots are read on arrival, and it never dead-ends on no load detected. That job is load tender automation for freight brokers.

How does a spot request get a priced reply?

The price comes from your own lane cost history. The reply is drafted. The quote is logged. A lane you have never run is marked rather than filled with a made-up rate. That job is AI spot quotes for freight brokers.

How is a POD in the inbox matched?

Fields are extracted from the POD, approval comes before anything writes, and the POD, lumper receipt, and every photo are matched to the load. Missing paperwork is chased by text, call, and dispatcher on a clock. The document page is AI document and POD processing.

How is shipper outreach drafted?

Scout finds shippers moving freight where your trucks already are and drafts the note from your lane history. You approve the send until you switch that action to autopilot. It does not replace a CRM you refuse to leave. The page is shipper outreach.
