Trucking technology: dispatch dashboards, driver apps and recruiting sites

Software for carriers, not a carrier

Flowmatix builds software for trucking companies. We do not haul freight, dispatch loads or employ drivers. What we provide is the technology a carrier runs on: company and driver-recruiting websites, dispatch and load-management dashboards, driver mobile apps, integrations with ELD, TMS and load-board platforms, and shipment tracking portals for your customers.

Trucking companies come in many shapes, from owner-operators adding their first few trucks to regional fleets with dedicated dispatch teams. The right technology depends on that scale. We start by riding along, figuratively, with your dispatchers, drivers and customer service staff to see where time goes each day: which screens they check, what they retype and which calls interrupt them most. The build then targets those specific points instead of adding another system for everyone to learn.

One view for dispatch, drivers and customers

Dispatchers in smaller fleets often juggle a TMS, an ELD provider's portal, a load board, text messages and a whiteboard. A dispatch dashboard pulls truck location, driver hours of service status, load details and appointments into one screen, so assigning the next load is a decision rather than a research project.

Drivers get a mobile app for load details, document capture, such as bills of lading and proof of delivery photos, and messages from dispatch, built to work with patchy signal. Customers get a tracking portal with live status and documents, which cuts down the calls asking where their load is. Integrations depend on what your ELD and TMS providers allow through their APIs, which we confirm before scoping. Projects usually take four to ten weeks.

Recruiting drivers, and when to keep it simple

Driver recruiting websites are built around what applicants look for: lanes, home time, equipment and pay structure, followed by a short mobile application that a driver can finish in a truck stop parking lot. Applications flow into your recruiting system, with automated follow-up so promising candidates hear back quickly.

If your fleet is small and your TMS covers dispatch well, a recruiting site and a customer tracking page may be all you need. Custom dashboards pay off once several systems need to work together.
