Dispatch and order management
An integrated trucking dispatch system for the whole business
Our cloud-based dispatch management software handles dispatching, tracking, and logistics together, so drivers optimize their routes, shipments stay coordinated, and you keep full visibility over the fleet's performance.
Manage FTL and LTL dispatches
Oversee Full Truckload and Less Than Truckload dispatches from one board. AXIS TMS optimizes routes and streamlines the dispatching process behind them.
- Assign or offer orders Set up pending shipments and schedule orders to dispatch to a truck automatically with the Auto Dispatch option.
- Order scheduling Running a dedicated lane? Create the lane and the system starts creating the orders on schedule in your pending order queue.
- Automated dispatch notifications On assignment, the driver instantly receives a push notification and a text message with the order information.
- Split and cross-docking orders Split a single order into multiple shipments with stop-offs at cross docks, or split for recovery and breakdown reasons.
- E-signatures on delivery Drivers request signatures as proof of delivery. The signature uploads automatically to your invoice and bill of lading.
- Shipment notes Send a mass email to staff by department, or email a customer directly. Every note is stored in the shipment log with the date, time, and who placed it.
- Temperature control Enter temperature control data on the pickup stop so the driver knows the cargo temperature before the trailer is loaded.
- Mileage and costs Compare costs against each truck’s compensation and empty-miles distance before you assign the order.
- Truck next availability Know where the fleet stands with road status: Available Empty, Available Unhooked, Covered, Double Covered, or Out of Service.

Get the right driver on the right load
- Dispatch your load Dispatch any load through one streamlined app built to manage and coordinate loads efficiently — long-haul or short delivery. Load management does not have to be complicated.
- Dispatch, scheduled Schedule your dispatching in advance: assign drivers, manage routes, and keep each delivery on time without rebuilding the board every morning.
- Confirm driver availability in seconds Real-time visibility into who is available makes it straightforward to assign drivers to loads by skill set, whether you run a small team or a large fleet.
- Driver and equipment assignments Match drivers to specific routes, assign trucks to drivers and loads, and schedule maintenance around it all — so productivity goes up and downtime goes down.
Routing and tracking, once the truck rolls
- Routing and fuel-saving optimization The platform calculates efficient routes to reduce fuel consumption and cost while keeping deliveries on time, analyzing traffic patterns, vehicle capacity, and delivery schedules.
- Freight tracking Monitor freight in real time from pickup to delivery, and customize alerts and notifications so you get ahead of delays before they affect an on-time arrival.
Paperwork and settlement, off the dispatcher’s desk
- Trip sheets Generate detailed trip sheets covering routes, stops, driver assignments, and load details. Customizable templates and automated data entry keep the paperwork short.
- Driver settlement Manage driver earnings, deductions, and reimbursements so settlements calculate and process accurately. Customize the workflow and generate detailed settlement reports.
- Document management Move from traditional paperwork to a secure digital platform, with the documents attached to the order they belong to instead of a filing cabinet.
- Dispatch accounting Dispatch data flows into your accounting system rather than being rekeyed, which takes the tedious part out of managing the finances.
Access for everyone who needs it
Bring the whole team onto the system with role-based permissions, so each person reaches the information their job needs and nothing else. Real-time updates keep dispatchers, drivers, safety, and accounting coordinating from the same record instead of trading phone calls.
