  • Less manual data entry

  • Improved accuracy and fewer errors

  • Faster invoicing

2. AI Updater: Automating Broker Updates for Seamless Communication

The Challenge:Keeping brokers updated with real-time load statuses, delays, and delivery times manually can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes. This results in communication gaps and slower response times, affecting operations.

What Datatruck Does:AI Updater automates broker communications, ensuring that your team never misses an update. It can trigger updates based on load stages like In-Transit or Delivered, keeping brokers in the loop without manual input.
