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."

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.
