Think of it as upgrading from a patchwork of rusty trailers to a sleek, interconnected convoy. Our multi-service approach integrates routing, tracking, and compliance into one scalable platform. No more hitting ceilings on shipment volumes; our architecture grows with your fleet, ensuring efficiency even as you expand routes nationwide. We've helped firms reduce operational delays by 35%, turning potential roadblocks into smooth highways.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Unlimited Growth in Your Freight Operations
Effortless Route Scaling
Effortless Route Scaling: Our software anticipates volume spikes, like Q4 holiday rushes with 40% freight surges, optimizing routes in real-time using dynamic load balancing to eliminate empty backhauls. Freight firms achieve a 30% increase in load efficiency within the first quarter, boosting revenue per mile by $0.15 without adding trucks or risking HOS violations.
Zero Bottleneck Tracking
Zero Bottleneck Tracking: Integrated AI tracking via unified ELD and GPS feeds delivers end-to-end visibility from dock to door, slashing cargo claim disputes by 50% and POD reconciliation time by 70%. No more chasing updates across apps—everything from pickup to final delivery, including cross-dock transfers, flows through one dashboard, ensuring on-time performance above 95%.
Compliance-Ready Automation
Compliance-Ready Automation: Built-in AI automates FMCSA Hours of Service logging, DOT reporting, and digital audit trails for IFTA fuel tax compliance, reducing preparation time from days to under 2 hours per audit cycle. This scalable, enterprise-grade feature keeps you regulation-ready across multi-state operations, avoiding fines averaging $12,000 that affect 40% of logistics providers annually.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our legacy TMS couldn't scale with our growth from 50 to 150 trucks—we were hemorrhaging 15% on empty backhauls and detention fees every month. Their custom integration with our ELD system went live overnight, pushing us to 98% load utilization and cutting fuel costs by 22% in just six months. It's like having a 24/7 dispatch team that anticipates every lane imbalance."
Mike Harlan
Fleet Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Haulers (Regional LTL Carrier)
"We were drowning in Excel sheets for HOS-compliant driver schedules and manual FMCSA compliance logs, racking up $8K monthly in overtime alone. AIQ's platform automated scheduling with AI-driven fatigue predictions, saving us $45K in the first quarter while seamlessly scaling to 20 new cross-border routes without a single violation or delay."
Sarah Ruiz
Director of Transportation Logistics, TransCo Logistics (International Freight Forwarder)
"Peak season demand forecasting was chaos—overcommitting to Q4 holiday loads led to $20K in excess warehouse inventory and delayed LTL shipments. After deploying their AI tool with historical EDI data integration, our accuracy hit 92% within two seasons, avoiding those costs and enabling 25% more volume on existing capacity for cross-border hauls."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom software handle peak freight seasons without downtime?
Freight volumes can spike unpredictably, like during Black Friday rushes, overwhelming standard systems. Our enterprise architecture uses modular AI scaling—think auto-scaling servers that ramp up resources on demand, handling 5x normal loads seamlessly. We've built in redundancy for critical paths like routing and tracking, ensuring 99.9% uptime. For a mid-sized carrier we partnered with, this meant processing 2,000 extra daily shipments without a hitch, cutting delays by 28%. We start with a capacity audit to match your growth projections, so you're never caught off-guard.
Can this integrate with our existing transportation management system?
Absolutely—integration is our core strength. We don't replace your TMS; we enhance it with deep, two-way APIs that pull in real-time data for smarter decisions. For instance, syncing with systems like Oracle TMS or SAP, our AI overlays predictive routing without data silos. A recent freight client integrated their legacy setup in under two weeks, eliminating manual exports that wasted 10 hours weekly. Our approach ensures bidirectional flow: updates from your TMS feed our AI models, while optimized routes push back instantly. This creates a unified ecosystem, reducing errors by up to 40% in multi-vendor environments.
What makes your solutions scalable for growing freight companies?
Scalability isn't an afterthought—it's engineered in. Unlike no-code tools that cap at certain volumes, our custom builds use microservices architecture, allowing components like load planning to expand independently. As your fleet grows from 20 to 200 trucks, the system adapts without bottlenecks, supporting unlimited shipments via cloud elasticity. We reference industry benchmarks: logistics firms often hit walls at 500 daily loads with off-the-shelf software, but our clients scale to 5,000 effortlessly. Take a regional hauler we worked with—they tripled routes post-implementation, with zero performance dips, thanks to proactive load balancing and AI optimization.
How do you ensure compliance with transportation regulations?
Compliance is non-negotiable in freight, where violations can cost thousands in fines. We embed regulatory logic directly into the software—AI automates ELD logging, HOS tracking, and IFTA reporting, pulling from GPS and driver inputs for audit-proof records. Our systems flag potential issues in real-time, like over-hours violations, preventing them proactively. For a cross-state carrier, this cut their audit prep time from 20 hours to 2, while maintaining 100% DOT compliance. We stay ahead of changes, like recent FMCSA updates, with modular code that's easy to adjust, ensuring your operations remain efficient and penalty-free.
What's the typical timeline for developing custom software for our freight ops?
Timelines vary by complexity, but we aim for efficiency without rushing quality. A basic integration and dashboard might take 4-6 weeks; full multi-service builds with AI forecasting run 8-12 weeks. We kick off with a two-week discovery to scope your needs—like mapping current bottlenecks in dispatching or inventory. Development follows agile sprints, with bi-weekly demos to align on progress. A freight partner with similar scale went live in 10 weeks, transforming their manual processes into automated workflows. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of optimization support to fine-tune for your daily realities, ensuring quick ROI.
How much does custom software development cost for a freight company like mine?
Costs are tailored to your scope—starting around $50K for core integrations, scaling to $150K+ for comprehensive AI suites covering routing, tracking, and compliance. Unlike subscriptions that drain $10K+ yearly, our model delivers ownership, with payback in 6-9 months via efficiencies like 25% fuel savings. We base pricing on deliverables: a simple load optimizer might be $40K, while enterprise-scale with custom UIs hits higher. For a 100-truck operation, our solution saved $80K annually in labor alone. We offer phased payments tied to milestones, making it accessible for SMBs hitting growth ceilings.
