Stop Managing Freight in Spreadsheets
Most shippers do not start with a TMS. They start with spreadsheets, emails, manual updates, and disconnected carrier communication. MySpot helps bring quoting, routing, tracking, and reporting into one connected transportation workflow built for growing shipper operations.
BUILT TO CONNECT THE SYSTEMS YOU ALREADY USE
MySpot helps shippers move beyond disconnected spreadsheets and manual workflows by connecting transportation activity across ERP systems, carrier communication, shipment visibility, and operational reporting. The platform is designed to fit into existing workflows while giving teams a centralized place to manage freight operations.


BENEFITS OF MYSPOT
Built for shippers replacing manual freight workflows with centralized transportation management.
LTL Load Execution
Book LTL shipments, generate BOLs, and track every load without switching between carrier portals.
- Get real-time LTL rates and book shipments directly through MySpot.
- Generate Bills of Lading and pallet labels automatically — no manual document creation.
- Track LTL loads with the same visibility as full truckload shipments.
- Process LTL shipments 75% faster with paperless, automated documentation.
Track and Trace
See every shipment in one place instead of logging into carrier websites or waiting on email updates.
- GPS tracking updates every 15 minutes across all active loads.
- Proactive exception alerts surface delays before your customers call about them.
- Assign individual users to track specific shipments relevant to their role.
- Search shipments instantly using your own internal reference numbers.
Dynamic Routing Guides
Compare carrier rates across modes in one place so routing decisions are based on current data, not memory.
- Contracted carrier rates stored with effective and expiration dates so you always route on active pricing.
- Compare truckload, LTL, and intermodal options side by side before tendering.
- Real-time pricing visibility helps reduce transportation costs by up to 10 to 15 percent.
- Extend or update carrier contracts without rebuilding your routing guide from scratch.
Spot Market Visibility
When contracted capacity falls short, place shipments on the spot market and secure coverage without leaving MySpot.

- Benchmark contracted rates against current market options to confirm you are not overpaying.
- Tender to spot carriers instantly once a bid is accepted.

- Build reports using over 50 available data fields.
- Schedule and automate report distribution so your team gets what they need without asking for it.
- Executive dashboards and operational views in the same platform.
- Drill into cost detail, carrier performance, or service levels without exporting to Excel.
Freight Accrual Visibility
Know what you owe before the invoice arrives — not after month-end.
- Real-time accrual tracking eliminates surprise charges at close.
- Integrates directly with your ERP system or supports batch data export.

- Custom integrations available for proprietary or legacy systems.
Carrier Connectivity
Manage carrier communication, tendering, and performance in one place instead of across emails and portals.
- Tender shipments to contracted and spot carriers without leaving the platform.
- Carrier performance scorecards track reliability over time.
- Role-based user access keeps teams focused on the loads relevant to them.
- Assign users to specific shipping locations for cleaner operational accountability.
Workflow Automation
Automate the repetitive freight tasks that eat up your team’s day so they can focus on exceptions and decisions.
- Automated BOL generation and document handling reduces manual prep time.
- Exception escalation workflows route alerts to the right person automatically.
- Predictive delay alerts give teams up to 48 hours of advance notice on potential service disruptions.
- Teams typically see a 25 to 30 percent reduction in manual processes after implementation.
Operational Visibility
A single view of your freight operation so nothing falls through the gaps between systems, emails, and spreadsheets.
