Cortex transforms chaotic phone calls, WhatsApp group chats, and paper trip sheets into a synchronized logistics command center. Gain real-time visibility over drivers, vehicles, consignments, and demurrage penalties.
The Operational Cost of Fragmentation
Traditional off-the-shelf software and spreadsheet trackers create siloed operations, slow departmental handoffs, and revenue leakages.
Dispatchers spend their days fielding frantic phone calls, texting driver locations, and juggling spreadsheets to track which carrier accepted which load. Critical handover notes vanish into chat histories.
Paper PODs take up to 3 weeks to travel from remote consignee docks back to headquarters. Invoicing is delayed, disputes escalate, and working capital remains locked up.
Third-party freight bills arrive with disputed accessorial fees, detention hours, and toll discrepancies that finance teams lack the operational data to verify or dispute, silently bleeding margins.
Expired commercial driver licenses, missed fitness certifications, or overdue brake inspections result in heavy regulatory fines, impounded vehicles, and costly transit delays.
Configured for Your Industry
Every module is built on Cortex Studio, backed by flexible entity relationships, automated triggers, and granular role permissions.
Match incoming shipment manifests with optimal vehicle capacity, driver hours-of-service (HOS), and route restrictions with one click.
Drivers capture digital customer signatures, photo proof of cargo condition, and GPS timestamped geofence check-ins directly on their smartphones.
Automatically reconcile carrier invoices against contracted rate cards, agreed fuel surcharges, and validated delivery timestamps without manual entry.
Track vehicle odometers, telematics fault codes, insurance policies, pollution certificates, and driver fitness deadlines with automated reminder escalations.

Deployment Methodology
A phased, risk-mitigated rollout designed for zero operational downtime and measurable time-to-value within 90 days.
We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your transportation workflows, evaluating telematics providers (Samsara, Geotab), ELD hardware, carrier rate cards, EDI/API settlement connections, and warehouse dock coordination procedures. We map route exception patterns, dwell time delays, and fuel surcharge calculations.
Our engineers configure Cortex entities for loads, shipments, vehicles, drivers, trailers, and geo-fenced delivery hubs. We establish event-driven Kafka and webhook streaming from fleet GPS hardware, enabling millisecond tracking updates and predictive arrival calculations.
We deploy the Cortex driver mobile interface across company drivers and dedicated 3PL contractors. Automated dispatch rules match available haulers to unassigned loads based on equipment suitability, driving hours remaining, deadhead miles, and profitability margins.
We activate automated multi-factor freight invoice auditing to match carrier bills against agreed rate sheets and GPS-verified dwell times. Branded customer tracking portals are turned live, followed by phased cutover across regional freight corridors.
Proven Impact
Paper trip sheets were causing a 22-day lag between cargo delivery and invoice issuance, creating severe cash flow strain.
Implemented Cortex Mobile ePOD and automated dispatch matching across all 4 regional hubs.
Reduced invoicing turnaround from 22 days to 15 minutes post-delivery, improving cash collection cycles by $1.2M monthly.
Security & Governance
Enforces mandatory driver rest breaks and limits consecutive driving shifts automatically.
Immutable proof of delivery records backed by satellite geofence entry/exit timestamps.
Structured document validation ensuring Hazmat documentation accompanies appropriate cargo manifests.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Cortex provides a lightweight, responsive Progressive Web App (PWA) that works seamlessly on any Android or iOS smartphone browser with zero app installation, offline data caching, and photo capture support.
Yes. Cortex features pre-built webhooks and REST connectors that ingest live GPS coordinates, odometer readings, and engine diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) in real time.
Drivers can initiate an 'Exception Flow' directly in their mobile interface, uploading photos of damaged crates, recording notes, and selecting reason codes. Cortex immediately alerts the account manager and routes replacement inventory.
Yes. Cortex provides branded client tracking portals with restricted permissions where your customers monitor shipment milestones, download POD documents, and view estimated arrival times without seeing internal driver or rate data.
Cortex integrates bidirectionally with QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, SAP, Xero, and custom accounting databases via automated API settlement pipelines.
