STOP BUILDING FREIGHT REPORTS BY HAND
Most TMS platforms give shippers raw transportation data and expect them to figure the rest out themselves. MySpot helps turn shipment, carrier, and freight spend data into reporting your team can actually use to improve operations and reduce waste.
CONNECT TRANSPORTATION DATA ACROSS YOUR OPERATION
MySpot centralizes shipment activity, carrier communication, routing data, and freight spend information into one connected platform. Instead of manually pulling data from disconnected systems and spreadsheets, teams can build reporting around real operational workflows and transportation decisions.


BENEFITS OF MYSPOT
Built for shippers that need transportation reporting their teams can actually use.
Customized Reporting
Stop pulling data into spreadsheets. Build reports around the way your operation actually measures performance.
- Over 50 available data fields let you configure reports to your specific KPIs and workflows.
- Automate report scheduling and distribution so your team gets what they need without manual requests.
- Executive dashboards and detailed operational views in the same platform.
- Cleaner, more flexible reporting via Sigma with shipment activity, trends, and invoice visibility built in.
Freight Accrual Visibility
See what your freight actually costs before month end instead of finding out after invoices clear.
- Real-time accrual tracking eliminates surprise charges at close.
- Integrates directly with ERP systems so financial data flows without manual entry.
- Reduces month-end close processing time by up to 60 percent.
- Automates journal entries and general ledger coding for cleaner accounting workflows.
Track and Trace
Shipment status data that feeds your reporting — not just a tracking screen.
- GPS updates every 15 minutes give your reports accurate, real-time location data.
- Exception alerts tie directly into operational reporting so you track disruptions and downstream impact.
- User-level tracking lets team members follow the specific loads relevant to their reporting responsibilities.
- Global search by internal reference numbers makes pulling any shipment into a report fast.
Dynamic Routing Guides
Routing data that reflects current market conditions — not last quarter’s contracted rates.
- Contracted rates, effective dates, and expiration dates stored and maintained in one system.
- Mode comparisons across truckload, LTL, and intermodal feed into spend and performance reporting.
- Real-time pricing visibility supports more accurate cost forecasting and budget reporting.
- Routing history is captured and reportable so teams can analyze decisions over time.
Spot Market Visibility
Spot market activity captured in your reporting so you can see what coverage costs and benchmark accordingly.
- Spot bids and tendering activity recorded alongside contracted freight for complete spend visibility.
- Use spot market data to benchmark contracted rates and identify pricing gaps.
- Coverage history is reportable so teams can track how often contracted guides fall short.
- 24/7 spot coverage options available for shipments that need it.
LTL Load Execution
LTL shipment data centralized in the same reporting environment as your full truckload freight.
- Real-time LTL rates, bookings, and tracking in one place.
- Automated BOL generation and electronic signature capture with every LTL shipment.
- LTL processing time reduced by 75% with paperless documentation.
- LTL shipment history is reportable alongside all other freight modes.
Workflow Automation
Automate the freight tasks that currently require manual touchpoints and data entry.
- Automated document handling and BOL generation reduce prep time before shipment data hits reporting.
- Exception escalation workflows route alerts automatically so your team responds faster.
- Predictive delay alerts give up to 48 hours of advance notice on potential disruptions.
- Teams typically see a 25 to 30 percent reduction in manual processes after implementation.
Carrier Connectivity
Carrier performance data that flows directly into your reporting without manual scorecards.
- Carrier performance scorecards track on-time rates, service levels, and reliability over time.
- Tendering, communication, and performance data centralized so reporting reflects the full carrier relationship.
- Role-based access limits what each user sees, keeping reporting clean and relevant by team.
- Assign users to specific shipping locations for cleaner performance data by region or facility.
Seamless Integrations
Connect MySpot to the BI tools and systems your reporting team already uses.
- Native integration with Power BI, Tableau, and other BI platforms via automated data feeds.
- ERP integration keeps financial and operational data in sync without manual uploads.
- Bulk shipment upload via CSV eliminates one-by-one data entry for high-volume operations.
- Custom integrations available for proprietary systems your team cannot replace.
Operational Visibility
A single source of truth for freight data so reporting reflects what is actually happening across your operation.
- Shipment activity, carrier costs, routing decisions, and performance data in one connected platform.
- Customizable column views let each user see the data fields relevant to their reporting needs.
- Eliminates manual data collection across emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected carrier systems.
- Built to scale with growing freight operations without requiring a separate reporting rebuild.
