Shippers, brokers and 3PLs coordinating carrier partners across road networks
Use case
Carrier portal development for logistics networks
Give carriers and subcontractors a structured portal for tenders, assignments, status updates, documents and confirmations, instead of relying on email chains and phone follow-ups that leave data gaps.
Use case
Who this is for
Transport teams managing tender, acceptance and capacity confirmation workflows
Operations groups reducing manual follow-up for status and document collection
Networks preparing carrier collaboration before control tower and visibility rollouts
Use case
Problems it solves
- 01
Tender and acceptance details scattered across inboxes
- 02
Late or missing status updates from carrier partners
- 03
Document exchange without version control or shipment linkage
- 04
Limited visibility into carrier performance and compliance
Use case

- Ops queue for missing updates and document exceptions
Scale
Scale later
- Rate and accessorial submission workflows with approval rules

- Compliance document expiry tracking and renewal alerts
- Integration with transport planning and control tower views
- API access for large carriers connecting their own TMS tools
Common questions
Can carriers use the portal on mobile devices?
Yes. 4RTY designs mobile-friendly flows for tender acceptance, status updates and document capture where field access matters.
Do portal events sync back to our TMS?
Yes. Acceptance, milestone and document events typically sync to TMS through API or EDI so ops teams avoid duplicate entry.
How do you onboard carriers with limited technical capability?
Pilot programs combine simple portal flows, email notifications and optional CSV or EDI alternatives while adoption ramps.
Can the same platform support subcontractors and primary carriers?
Yes. Role and lane permissions define what each partner type sees and which workflows they participate in.
