In freight brokerage, your decisions are only as good as your data.
If you're quoting loads based on outdated info, tracking freight through phone calls, or waiting for manual reports to close out the month your data may be costing you more than you think.
The problem? Many brokers don’t realize they’re running behind until they’ve already lost revenue, customer trust, or team efficiency.
That’s why we created this simple, 4-part Freight Broker Data Health Check.
Use it to spot delays in your quoting, tracking, financials, or team workflows and get real-world solutions you can act on today.
Quotes are the front line of your business and delays here hurt your win rate and your margin.
Ask yourself:
❏ Can your team generate quotes instantly from up-to-date lane data?
❏ Do reps have access to live rate history and margin thresholds in one view?
❏ Are quotes tracked and sent from within your TMS or CRM?
❏ Does your system flag unprofitable quotes before they go out?
If you answered “no” to most of these, quoting friction is costing you freight.
Shippers expect answers now. If your team relies on phone calls, emails, or spreadsheets for status updates, you're operating reactively.
Ask yourself:
❏ Are you using real-time visibility from ELDs or app-based tracking?
❏ Can your team view load status and exceptions in one dashboard?
❏ Do customers get tracking updates automatically—no phone call needed?
If not, your tracking workflow may be killing productivity and trust.
Data delays in invoicing and margin tracking don’t just create disputes, they drain your bottom line.
Ask yourself:
❏ Is margin data visible at the point of quote and dispatch?
❏ Are accessorials automatically tracked and included on invoices?
❏ Can you spot underperforming lanes or reps in real time?
❏ Are financial insights updated automatically (no custom reports required)?
If you’re building reports manually or spotting issues too late, your profit is at risk.
If your team doesn’t trust the data or has to work around it, you’re losing time and increasing burnout.
Ask yourself:
❏ Does your team operate from one source of truth?
❏ Are dispatchers or reps rekeying data between systems?
❏ Can you train new hires quickly on one platform?
❏ Do users feel confident acting on what they see in the system?
If your team is constantly cross-checking or using multiple tools, you're not running lean.
