McLeod Software added Trucker Tools’ Book-it-Now app-based service to its PowerBroker Platform, the companies announced May 17.
PowerBroker Digital Freight Match is a web platform available to freight brokerage and third-party logistics customers. Book-it-Now is an existing service that will now be integrated into that platform to allow for automated one-click load bookings and confirmation.
“The Digital Freight Matching web service improves our logistics customers’ ability to secure additional capacity through the use of the Trucker Tools ecosystem,” Robert Brothers, vice president of product development at McLeod Software, said in a statement. “Automating the quote to confirmation process saves valuable capital to be redeployed on higher-value activities.”

McLeod had previously integrated its platform with Trucker Tools’ Smart Capacity predictive digital freight-matching and carrier relationship management solution. But the inclusion of Book-it-Now furthers that integration with new capabilities.
Trucker Tools said the integration will supersede the previous Smart Capacity interface by providing a greater depth of data, faster communication and enablement. Trucker Tools founder Prasad Gollapalli noted that the integration more tightly connects brokers using PowerBroker with truckers using Trucker Tools while bringing new visibility and access to independent owner-operators.
“For the broker, these integrated tools immediately reduce the costs of covering a load and improve the trucker’s experience engaging with that broker with an easy, one-click process to accept a load,” Gollapalli said in a statement.
Thus, more loads can be booked and confirmed in less time.
“Brokers gain hours in their day that can be used to prospect for more freight,” he said, “and for faster resolution of issues that need more detailed management and expertise.” — Transport Topics
