McLeod Software Introduces Book-it-Now® Trucker Tools to the PowerBroker Platform for Brokers and 3PLs

McLeod Software® has certified Trucker Tools' time-saving digital freight management platform, allowing its freight brokerage and third-party logistics clients to use Book-it-Now® automatic, one-click load booking and validation in the PowerBroker® Digital Freight Match (DFM) web service.

McLeod has previously linked PowerBroker to Trucker Tools' Smart Capacity® predictive digital freight matching and carrier relationship management system. The DFM would replace the previous Smart Capacity interface, allowing for more data depth, faster communication, and the use of Book-it-Now® capabilities.

Based in Birmingham, Alabama McLeod Software is a leading supplier of comprehensive transportation management software systems for brokers and third-party logistics vendors, private fleets, truckload, and less-than-truckload carriers.

After its release in 2013, the multi-functional, multi-party mobile app has been downloaded by over 1.3 million truckers, with over 160,000 individual users running small truckload fleets of 10 trucks or less.
