Problem
Freight brokers rely on legacy transportation management systems that are expensive to implement, require multi‑year contracts, and involve manual data entry across separate tools for load tracking, carrier coordination, and accounting. This results in high administrative overhead, delayed load booking, and difficulty scaling operations.
Solution
ARK TMS offers a cloud‑based transportation management platform designed specifically for freight brokers. The system provides real‑time load tracking, split‑screen workflows that let users manage loads and carriers simultaneously, and automatic synchronization with QuickBooks to eliminate double entry of invoices and bills. Users can generate rate confirmations, bills of lading, and invoices with a single click, including built‑in e‑signatures. Carrier onboarding is streamlined through MC‑number auto‑fill and compliance checks. The platform is delivered as a SaaS service with transparent, per‑user pricing and no setup fees, enabling brokers to start using the software the same day.
Target Audience
ARK TMS is aimed at small to mid‑size freight brokerage firms that need a modern, integrated TMS to manage loads, carriers, and accounting efficiently.
