The "Data Silo" Problem
Fragmented load tracking across multiple LTL carriers and 3PL partners leads to missed ETAs and 15% of shipments arriving late
Inaccurate fuel consumption forecasts from unintegrated telematics data causing budget overruns on long-haul OTR routes by up to 25%
Delayed PM scheduling from siloed ELD and CMMS telematics data, increasing unplanned downtime by 20% and risking FMCSA compliance violations
Invisible bottlenecks in dock-to-truck handoffs at distribution centers, inflating chassis dwell times by 2-3 hours per load
Driver HOS compliance issues hidden in disconnected ELD HR logs and DVIR reports, leading to out-of-hours violations and fines
Overlooked capacity utilization on backhauls due to poor TMS visibility, wasting up to 40% of reefer trailer space on return legs
Enterprise-Grade Custom Dashboards Built for Freight Efficiency
With over a decade of hands-on experience optimizing logistics operations for SMBs, AIQ Labs engineers proven, scalable dashboard solutions that integrate seamlessly into your existing fleet management systems.
Why Choose Us
We don't deploy off-the-shelf templates.

Imagine a central hub where real-time data from your TMS, ELD devices, and warehouse scanners converges, empowering dispatchers to make split-second decisions. Short on time? We prioritize high-impact KPIs like OTD rates and empty miles. Our approach ensures every dashboard is a tailored asset you own outright, eliminating subscription traps and delivering <span class="gradient">industry-leading reliability</span>.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Clear Visibility and Informed Decision-Making
Real-Time KPI Tracking for Fleet Optimization
Real-Time KPI Tracking for Fleet Optimization: Monitor OTR utilization rates, MPGe fuel burn, and POD delivery windows in a unified view. Freight firms using our dashboards report a 28% reduction in empty miles within the first 6 months, directly boosting profitability in a market where diesel fuel accounts for 30% of operating costs amid volatile API pricing.
Actionable Insights to Eliminate Data Silos
Actionable Insights to Eliminate Data Silos: Break down barriers between dispatch, maintenance, and finance teams with integrated views. Our custom builds consolidate ELD telematics, EDI billing, and WMS inventory data, helping you spot patterns like peak-hour yard congestion and adjust dynamic routing proactively—cutting gate delays by 22% on average across intermodal hubs.
Predictive Analytics for Proactive Logistics
Predictive Analytics for Proactive Logistics: Go beyond reactive monitoring with AI forecasts for LTL load volumes and carrier OTIF performance over 30-day horizons. Clients see 15-20% improvements in on-time pickups within 90 days, turning potential disruptions like weather delays into opportunities for efficient deadhead rerouting and $10K+ monthly cost savings.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our dispatchers were piecing together load statuses from emails, phone calls, and scattered TMS entries—it was chaos during Q4 peak season with our 50-truck fleet. Now, with the custom dashboard integrating real-time ETAs from multiple LTL carriers, we've shaved two days off our average invoice cycle and reduced late deliveries by 18%. It's like having a 24/7 control tower in our office, especially for cross-dock operations."
Mike Reynolds
Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Haulers (a regional LTL carrier serving 12 states)
"Fuel costs were killing us on those Midwest OTR runs with fluctuating diesel prices, but the predictive tracking in our new dashboard flagged inefficient routes early via integrated telematics data. In the first quarter after implementation, we dropped empty backhauls by 35% on reefer loads, saving about $45K in fuel alone. The team's actually using it daily now—no more guesswork on capacity planning."
Sarah Chen
Fleet Director, Eastern Logistics Partners (a full-truckload specialist with 200+ power units)
"We struggled with maintenance logs scattered across apps and paper DVIRs, leading to unexpected breakdowns and HOS violations on long hauls. AIQ Labs built us a dashboard that pulls ELD data directly into our CMMS, alerting us to PM needs 48 hours in advance. Downtime dropped from 10% to under 4% in six months, and our drivers love the transparency on their CSA scores and performance metrics."
Tom Vargas
VP of Operations, TransCo Freight Solutions (an intermodal logistics provider handling 5,000 TEUs annually)

Our engineers prototype tailored views with real-time feeds and predictive elements, ensuring seamless fit for your freight-specific needs such as load balancing.
Deployment and Ownership Handover
We deploy the production-ready system, train your team, and transfer full ownership—complete with source code—so you control updates without ongoing fees.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with our existing TMS like McLeod?
We start by mapping your McLeod setup during discovery, then build secure, two-way API connections to pull live data on loads, rates, and settlements. Unlike superficial plugins, our integrations handle complex scenarios like multi-leg shipments without data loss. For a recent freight client, this meant syncing 500+ daily entries in under 5 seconds, reducing manual reconciliation by 80%. We test rigorously to ensure zero downtime, and since it's custom code, you own the logic—no vendor lock-in.
What makes these dashboards suitable for LTL versus FTL operations?
LTL demands granular tracking of multi-stop routes, so we emphasize features like stop sequencing and partial load visibility. For FTL, focus shifts to full-trailer optimization, including backhaul matching. We tailor the UI accordingly—for instance, LTL dashboards might highlight cube utilization per pallet, while FTL ones prioritize lane profitability. A mid-sized carrier we worked with saw LTL dwell times drop 18% post-implementation. Every build aligns with your operation's nuances, drawing from our logistics expertise to avoid generic pitfalls.
Can we get predictive insights, like forecasting delays from weather?
Absolutely—our AI layers analyze historical data, weather APIs, and traffic patterns to predict disruptions. For example, the dashboard might flag a 15% delay risk on I-80 due to snow, suggesting reroutes. This isn't basic charting; it's machine learning tuned to freight variables like carrier reliability. One client avoided $20K in penalties last winter by acting on these alerts. We train models on your data for accuracy, with ongoing refinements to match evolving route challenges.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom dashboard?
Typically 6-8 weeks for a full MVP, depending on complexity. Week 1-2: Deep-dive audits of your workflows. Weeks 3-5: Prototyping and iterations with your team. Weeks 6-8: Testing, integration, and training. We prioritize quick wins, like a basic fleet view in 3 weeks if needed. For a 200-truck operation, we delivered a production dashboard in 7 weeks, including telematics sync. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of support to iron out any kinks, ensuring smooth adoption.
What about data security for sensitive shipment information?
Security is non-negotiable in logistics, so we use enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access to protect HAZMAT details or customer PII. Data stays on your servers or secure clouds—no third-party sharing. We conduct vulnerability audits and support FMCSA regulations. A recent project for a chemical hauler included audit logs for every access, passing their compliance review flawlessly. You own the system, so controls are fully customizable to your risk profile.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance or just one-time builds?
We build for ownership, so no mandatory subscriptions—but we provide optional support packages for updates like new TMS features or expanded KPIs. Many clients handle minor tweaks in-house thanks to our clean code and documentation. For scaling needs, like adding electric fleet tracking, we offer fixed-fee enhancements. One partner started with a core dashboard and later added AI forecasting for $8K, maintaining full control without vendor dependencies.
