Freight technology company Loadsmart has launched the Smart Match tool, which provides carriers an efficient way to find the best available loads.

By directly integrating with the fleet management platforms relied on by carriers, Loadsmart is able to use machine learning to match available trucks with the freight it’s awarded via integrations with popular transportation management systems.

With API integration directly to both the carrier and the shipper TMS, Smart Match uses the location of trucks to instantly connect available capacity with shipper demand which can maximize revenue per loaded mile for fleets.

“Smart Match empowers carriers to move beyond the current load-to-truck paradigm, filtering through endless freight being offered, and instead go truck-to-load, pulling freight from the cloud onto their assets to help balance their network ,” said Hunter Yaw, vice president of product management and business development, Loadsmart. “The new capability will help accelerate how carriers align their networks to the highest yield markets.”

With Smart Match, carriers can receive automated load recommendations based on the current and future availability of their trucks. As a result of TMS integration and relationships with some of the country’s biggest shippers, Smart Match offers visibility to thousands of potential shipments.

“The transportation industry is at a pivotal crossroads rounding out a particularly tough year. We believe in equipping carriers and shippers with technology to succeed and thrive, while minimizing cost per transaction,” said Erik Malin, vice president of operations at Loadsmart. “With AI-powered Smart Matching, we’re making it faster and easier for carriers to uncover the most profitable markets and find the right opportunities to grow their business.”

Smart Match is  available for fleets of all sizes, ranging from owner-operators to enterprise carriers. Learn more: https://loadsmart.com/carrier/.
