One operating layer. Fewer manual touches. Higher service fidelity.
Connect carrier compliance, visibility, and exception handling through a single layer instead of a stack of disconnected point tools.
The manual-touch problem
Every load a brokerage moves accumulates manual touches: vetting a new carrier's authority and insurance, chasing a check call because the tracking link went dark, re-keying a status update for the customer, and arguing detention after the fact with no shared record of when the truck arrived.
Most operations attack each touch with another point tool — one for compliance, one for visibility, one for EDI — and end up paying for the stack twice: once in licenses, and again in the swivel-chair work of reconciling what the tools disagree about.
Tranztec takes the opposite approach: one connected layer under the whole life of the load, drawing on the same 65+ connector library across carrier TMS, telematics, and visibility systems.
One layer across the life of a load
Vet the carrier
Check operating authority, insurance coverage, and safety ratings automatically — and keep checking them continuously, not just at onboarding. Carrier Trust and FreightSentinel-style monitoring surface anomalies on active loads before they become fraud or compliance incidents.
Tender and book
Offer loads to carriers and receive acceptances or rejections through CarrierCloud's Partner Network instead of phone-and-email round trips. Every order, quote, stop update, and document lives on the load, scoped to the approved partner relationship.
Track without check calls
Pull live location, status, and exception data straight from the carrier's telematics and TMS systems. ETAs update continuously from GPS, ELD, and appointment data together — not on a fixed polling interval that goes stale between updates.
Resolve exceptions on shared data
When detention, a missed appointment, or a delay turns into a dispute, you and the carrier are looking at the same arrival and departure record. Disputes settle on evidence instead of dragging out over whose timestamp to believe.
Carrier trust, built into the layer
Fraud and double-brokering risk doesn't wait for your quarterly compliance review. Carrier Trust & FreightSentinel run on the same connectivity as tracking and tendering, so trust data is part of the operation instead of a separate system to check.
Continuous carrier vetting
Verify authority, insurance, and safety ratings on an ongoing basis — not just at onboarding.
Anomaly detection
Surface unusual activity on active loads before it becomes a fraud incident.
Evidence gathering
When something looks wrong, capture the supporting evidence a dispute or investigation needs.
Risk-aware tendering
Factor carrier trust into the tender decision itself, not a separate check afterward.
What plugs into the layer
Brokerage operations draw on the parts of the 65+ connector directory built for the buy side of the load: digital freight management tools like Truckstop RMIS, Highway, and Parade for carrier sourcing and identity; visibility platforms including project44, FourKites, and Descartes MacroPoint; TMS connectors such as McLeod Software, Revenova, and Descartes 3GTMS; and an LTL carrier network spanning carriers like Estes, Old Dominion, and SAIA.
Connections run over API, EDI, or portal depending on the system — and because every Tranztec product draws from the same connector library, a connection added once is available everywhere.
Frequently asked questions
How does Tranztec vet carriers?
Carrier Trust continuously verifies operating authority, insurance coverage, and safety ratings rather than checking once at onboarding. FreightSentinel-style monitoring adds anomaly detection on active loads and gathers supporting evidence when something looks wrong, so risk factors into the tender decision itself.
Which visibility and carrier-sourcing platforms does Tranztec connect to?
The connector directory includes visibility platforms such as project44, FourKites, Descartes MacroPoint, FreightVerify, and Shippeo, plus digital freight management tools like Truckstop RMIS, Highway, and Parade — part of 65+ prebuilt connections you can browse in the connections directory.
Do carriers have to install anything to share tracking with us?
Often not: Tranztec pulls status and position data through prebuilt connectors to the telematics and TMS systems carriers already run — providers like Samsara, Geotab, Motive, and ISAAC Instruments. For carriers without connected telematics, the Driver Mobile App module covers GPS tracking, status, and proof-of-delivery capture.
Does Tranztec replace our TMS?
No. Tranztec is the connectivity and trust layer around your TMS, with prebuilt connectors for platforms including McLeod Software, Revenova, and Descartes 3GTMS. Your team keeps working in the system it knows; Tranztec handles carrier connectivity, visibility, and compliance data flowing in and out of it.
Is automated exception handling available today?
Real-time data and predictive ETA tracking are shipping Modules today, the universal transportation API ships as CarrierCloud, and Carrier Trust is available as standalone capability. Deeper governed automation across the full tender lifecycle is on the Collaboration OS roadmap — direction we're building toward, not shipped functionality.
