What is one of the keys to a successful logistics business? Using tech to create efficient messaging between shippers and carriers.
Whether you sit on the carrier side or the shipper side, all logistics professionals need to be able to communicate efficiently and effectively in order to succeed. Being able to bridge this gap for shippers and carriers is key to the long-term success of your logistics business.
Without shippers, there are going to be a whole lot of empty carriers driving around, or more likely, entire fleets brought to a screeching halt. Without carriers, shippers will have an impossible gap to fill in their service offering. The moral of the story is that - in order to function smoothly - the freight industry needs shippers and carriers to be working in sync with each other.
That’s why we developed LoadAccept - a cost-effective, reliable messaging platform that bridges the gap between shippers and carriers.
Current impediments to simple communication
Logistics companies (on both land and sea) need to be able to send and accept EDI tenders, provide automated responses, and send Event/Location updates.
Far too often, these companies don’t use software that is compatible with that of their transport partners and are left to rely on manual processes that are labor-intensive and prone to human error.
Further adding to their frustration is the fact that messages are usually charged per character but sold in bulk, making financial reconciliation more difficult than it should be.
Today, economic inflation and changes to regulations have created further uncertainty in the industry, with pressure on operators sometimes leading to strained relationships and fractured communication channels between collaborators.
The solution -LoadAccept
Our logistics veterans drew on their extensive experience on all sides of the industry to create Load Accept - an online EDI portal for logistics providers. It was designed with shippers and carriers in mind, and it’s currently the only cloud-based system that lets you automate and accept loads.
Load Accept is a lightweight web application that’s easy to install. Its prime function is to simplify messaging and enable businesses to be message compliant with all of their peers, regardless of size or software.
Load Accept works alongside our EDI module to streamline updates, replacing manual emails and spreadsheets.
How it messaging works
In an attempt to stop the manual update process, both shippers and carriers are increasingly demanding that peers integrate with their TMS.
LoadAccept connects the dots between different transportation management systems, allowing you to batch accept and automate your load acceptance with the award management rules engine, and to update your customers with one click messaging.

Why we came up with it
We’re logistics people. We understand the challenges faced in different parts of the industry because we’ve faced those same challenges ourselves.
We created Load Accept to reduce the communication barriers between truckers and shippers, allowing more businesses to work together and to improve the cost-effectiveness of their service.
This kind of software has always been needed, but never quite as much as it is now. With the introduction of enterprise TMS software and visibility platforms, carriers are needing a better way to provide updates now more than ever. We’re excited to be leading the improvement and innovation of the logistics industry, and confident that it can provide some much-needed support to businesses of all sizes.
