# TransOptix > TransOptix is a cloud-based Transportation Management System (TMS) built by truckers, for asset-based trucking carriers and road freight companies in Canada and the United States, with support for cross-border US-Canada operations. The product is called OptiX. TransOptix runs dispatch, cross-border paperwork, billing, driver payroll, compliance and reporting from one set of records, so data is entered once. It is purpose-built for carriers who own their equipment rather than a generic logistics tool retrofitted for trucking, and it also supports brokered freight and LTL operations alongside an asset fleet. ## Key facts - Best fit: carriers running their own trucks, including owner-operators, that also hand some loads to outside carriers and cross the border. - Who it is for: asset-based trucking carriers and logistics or road freight companies that coordinate loads across owned and third-party carriers. - Markets: Canada and the United States, including cross-border US-Canada freight. - Pricing: simple per-truck pricing with no per-user fees. - Scale: from 10 trucks to 1000+ trucks, with no performance limits. - Hosting: every customer runs on a dedicated server on AWS, so data is never shared with another customer. - Onboarding: hands-on, with full on-premise training for every employee. The team is based in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and available 24/7. - Customers include: Border Solution Transport, Bestcare Transport, Street Cartage, Grandpa Transport (GTL), Northplus Trucking, Northplus Nexus, Jam Trucking, Quinte Freight. - Contact: balaji@transoptix.com or +1 (437) 605-4400. ## Dispatch & Operations Page: https://transoptix.com/#dispatch Multi-stop, multi-load and cross-border trips, planned one step at a time. Trucks, trailers, drivers and orders stay connected, so one action updates everything it touches. - Order Hub: Book an order with several loads, each with its own freight rate, fuel surcharge and PO number. The surcharge can be a percentage, per mile or a flat rate. One record carries the work from booking to invoice, moving from Pending to In Transit, Delivered, Invoice Generated and Paid as the work happens. - Load Board: See the live status of every load, from pickup planned through on board, yard moves and on dock to delivery complete. What is moving, stuck or running late is clear at a glance. - Trip Manager: Build each trip as steps: hook, pick up, cross the border, deliver, release. Assign drivers and trucks to plan multi-stop and multi-load trips. One trip can carry several loads, and one load can be carried across several trips. - Automatic Status Updates: Finishing a step updates the load, the order and the equipment. Drivers, trailers and statuses stay interlinked, so nobody chases a status by hand. - Contract Manager: Hand a move to another carrier at a flat rate and the payable is created automatically. Carrier profiles keep insurance expiry dates and documents, and brokered and asset loads live in one system. - Equipment Availability: Trucks, trailers and drivers show as Available, Planned or In Transit, so dispatchers avoid double-booking. - Trailer Tracking: Know what is on each trailer, its load history and status, and where every truck and trailer goes next. Stage loads on a trailer ahead of time for better drop-and-hook planning. ## Analytics & Reporting Page: https://transoptix.com/#analytics See how your fleet and your accounts perform before you make the next big decision. - P&L per Truck: Revenue, miles and revenue per mile for each truck, in CAD and USD. See exactly where margin is made or lost. - Order and Trip Analytics: Understand your orders and trips by date range, including loaded versus empty miles. Download any table for use in spreadsheets. - Account Manager Performance: Revenue per mile by account manager, so you can see who is winning the good freight. - Customer Trends: Customer trend reports show how each account is changing over time. - Asset Utilization: Thinking of buying more trucks? See utilization rates, idle time and revenue per asset first. - Downtime Visibility: Track days earning revenue versus sitting idle, and identify the assets dragging your operation down. ## Cross-Border (US and Canada) Page: https://transoptix.com/#cross-border Customs, border crossings and currency are part of every load, not a side spreadsheet. - Customs Module: Track clearances, PAPS and PARS brokers and unique control numbers, which are checked for duplicates. Clearance status and notes sit on each load, and one clearances view lists every load awaiting clearance with who updated it and when. - Border Crossings, ACI and ACE: ACE equipment types are supported, and ACI manifests attach to the invoice packet so the paperwork travels with the bill. - USD and CAD Side by Side: Exchange rates are stored in the system, and reports show both currencies. ## LTL & Brokerage Page: https://transoptix.com/#ltl Handle LTL freight and run a brokerage alongside your asset fleet, on the same platform. - Crossdock and Warehouse: Crossdock freight from one trailer to another and dock shipments in your warehouse. Every piece of freight is tracked from dock door to delivery. - LTL Consolidation: Consolidate LTL loads and always know what is on which trailer and where a shipment went. - Brokerage Next to Your Fleet: Run a separate logistics operation alongside your asset fleet. Same platform, clean separation, full visibility. ## Driver Mobile App Page: https://transoptix.com/#driver-app An iOS and Android app where drivers work each trip step by step and dispatch sees the progress. - My Trips: New, in-progress and completed trips in one place, so drivers always know what is next. - Step-by-Step Trips: Drivers start and complete each step in order, with trailer and load details. Dispatch sees progress live, with fewer check-in calls. - BOL and POD Capture: Photograph the BOL at pickup and the POD at delivery, from the camera or the photo library. The paperwork reaches the office right away, so you can invoice sooner. - Trip Sheets: Photograph trip sheets straight onto the trip. No more paper turned in at the end of the week. - Office Documents: Drivers see the load paperwork the office attached, so the right papers are in the cab every time. - Profile and Security: Drivers manage their profile and photo and can reset a forgotten password. Each driver sees only their own trips. ## Invoicing & Billing Page: https://transoptix.com/#billing No more exporting to another tool just to send an invoice. Create, track, email and reconcile everything in one place. - Invoices and Packets: Invoices with line items and tax. Each customer's settings decide the PDF packet: invoice, load confirmation, POD and ACI manifest. Mark invoices paid, attach remittance and email in batches. - Revenue, Receivables and Ageing: Reports that show what you billed, what is still owed and how long it has been outstanding, with ageing grouped 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120 and over 120 days. Filter invoices by unpaid, overdue, underpaid or overpaid. - Carrier Payables: See what you owe outside carriers, with freight, fuel surcharge and deductions, tracked from created to paid. Carriers are paid on Quick Pay or Regular Pay terms. - Repair Invoices: Track repair invoices by vendor, so shop costs are never lost in a drawer. ## Driver Payroll Page: https://transoptix.com/#payroll Pay is calculated from the trips that were completed, so you know what you owe, and why, before the pay run. - Pay Schedules and Pay Types: Set your pay schedule and choose from seven pay types: per mile, partial miles, hourly, flat, percent of revenue, extra pickup and extra delivery. Completed trips feed each pay period, and closing a period locks it. - Driver Types and Owner-Operator Pay: Pay company drivers, owner-operators and contractors. For owner-operators, pay a percent of revenue, apply the driver's tax percent and override rates where a deal calls for it. Pay can go to the driver, the truck owner or both. - Recurring Additions and Deductions: Set standing additions and deductions, such as insurance, an equipment lease or an advance. They apply every pay period, either indefinitely or until a set total is reached. - Fuel Cost Recovery: Matched fuel card charges become payroll deductions in one click, so fuel the company paid for comes back through driver pay. - Pay Stubs: Produce pay stubs as PDFs or email them straight to drivers. ## Integrations Page: https://transoptix.com/#integrations Accounting, mileage, fuel cards and EDI connected, so data is entered once. - QuickBooks Online and Desktop: Invoices, customers, payments and payables sync automatically, with no duplicates. A sync-status panel shows exactly what went across, and anything that failed can be retried. - PC*Miler Mileage: Road miles fill in on every step, so billing and driver pay use accurate miles without anyone typing them. - Fuel Cards: Register your fuel vendor, upload its report and card charges are matched to the driver who held the card that day. Cards not yet in the system are created automatically, so nobody sorts fuel receipts by hand. - EDI Integrations: Connect to your customers' systems over EDI, so orders and updates flow in without re-keying. Your customers won't know you switched. ## Fleet & Compliance Page: https://transoptix.com/#fleet-compliance Keep drivers, trucks, trailers and their paperwork in one place and stop tracking inspections and maintenance by hand. - Drivers: License and medical details for every driver, with their documents attached. - Trucks, Trailers and Equipment: Every truck, trailer and piece of equipment has its own record and its own documents. - Safety Records: Annual safety and preventive maintenance records with expiry dates, so you see what is due before it becomes an audit problem. - Compliance Reporting: An Equipment Compliance report shows which equipment has records expiring or overdue, and organization-level compliance settings keep the rules consistent. ## Platform & Security Page: https://transoptix.com/#platform A clean interface, fully hosted for you, with the access controls and safeguards a fleet needs. - Dedicated Server per Customer: Every customer runs on a dedicated server on AWS, so your data is never shared with another customer. No software to install, and access from anywhere. - Role-Based Permissions: Roles include admin, manager, dispatcher, driver and carrier account manager, plus custom roles. Grant view, create, edit or delete access per feature and per page. - Audit Log: A plain-language log of who changed what, and when. - Automated Backups: Your data is backed up automatically, so you are covered if something goes wrong. - Bulk CSV Import: Bring your existing data across during onboarding with CSV imports. - Partner Directory: One directory for customers, shippers and receivers, carriers, customs brokers, yards and vendors. - Built for Scale: From 10 trucks to 1000+ trucks, with no performance limits. Per-truck pricing that scales with you. - Clean, Focused Interface: Focused screens instead of cluttered dashboards and 47-tab workflows. Works seamlessly on a laptop and on a multi-monitor setup. ## How it works Page: https://transoptix.com/#how-it-works 1. Book the order: Enter the order with its loads, PO number and rates in the Order Hub. Dispatch sees it on the Load Board straight away. 2. Plan the move: Build a trip in the Trip Manager with your drivers and trucks, or hand the load to an outside carrier in the Contract Manager. 3. Run the trip: The driver works through each step in the mobile app, or dispatch updates it. The BOL and POD are photographed and reach the office right away. 4. Clear the border: For loads crossing between the US and Canada, customs clearance and PAPS or PARS numbers are tracked on the load. 5. Invoice the customer: The delivered order is invoiced with a complete document packet and emailed to the customer. 6. Sync to QuickBooks: The invoice and its payment flow into QuickBooks without re-keying. 7. Pay your drivers: The completed trip feeds driver payroll. Fuel and recurring deductions apply automatically, and pay stubs go out to drivers. 8. See the profit: P&L and analytics show profit per truck, per customer and per account manager. ## How TransOptix compares with a traditional TMS - Pricing: TransOptix offers Per-truck, transparent.
