Shuddl — the freight operating system

Signed. Invoiced. Same second.

Shuddl runs beside the TMS you already have, captures proof at every stop, and turns your driver's signature into your invoice — in your client's inbox in under 5 seconds. Watch it happen on the map behind this page.

For US LTL & final-mile carriers, 10–150 trucks Replaces the re-keying and reconciliation half of your stack — keeps your TMS Speed email to bookable quote in under 15 seconds

No spam. One email when the doors open.

(01) The swap

What it replaces. What you keep.

Today the physical fact and the record of it are separated by humans — the driver carries paper, the biller re-keys it, everyone reconciles by phone. That gap is unbilled work, 45-day cash, check calls, and disputes. Shuddl deletes the gap, one function at a time, while your TMS keeps running.

Billing desk keying probills, chasing PODsThe invoice fires from the signature. Nobody types it.
Rating backlog on the quote deskEmail in, bookable price out — under 15 seconds, floors attached.
Check calls, "where's my truck"A live status link anyone can open.
Paper PODs, a hostile driver appOne question, one button per stop. A real driver runs it with zero instruction.
EDI projects measured in monthsA replay-certified partner in about a day.
Interline settled by spreadsheetSplits computed from co-signed custody events.

You keep: your TMS (until it's a read-only archive) · QuickBooks, forever · your trucks, your people, your customers. And if you ever leave: one click exports everything, open formats.

(03) What runs itself

Thirteen agents run the protocol. Your people own exceptions and relationships.

ConciergeReads inbound email. Replies with a bookable price — not an acknowledgment.
RaterPrices from measured physics — stops, touches, cube-miles, dwell. Floors on every quote. No price on air.
SchedulerBooks windows against real dock capacity and driver hours. Calendars all parties.
Dispatcher copilotRoute and co-load suggestions from live physics. Predicts misses hours ahead.
GatekeeperEnforces every gate server-side. Overrides are named, reasoned, visible forever.
BillerPOD event → invoice issued the same second → client emailed the evidence.
CollectorAging watch, tone-matched dunning drafts, statements. Sends on approval.
SettlerInterline and partner splits computed from custody events.
TranslatorEDI in and out, replay-certified per partner. About a day, not a project.
MigratorEats any legacy export or spreadsheet. Nothing is ever silently dropped.
WatchtowerThe unbilled ≠ 0 alarm, daily. Floor breaches, drift, concentration.
Credit officerTerms recommendation in minutes. Credit hold gates the booking.
CopilotAnswers anything about your operation, citing ledger events. Every number explains itself.

(04) Keep your TMS

There is no cutover day.

Shuddl lands as an overlay beside the system you run today. It reads, shadows, and proves itself on a parity dashboard — then takes authority one module at a time, with automatic fallback. A gradient of trust, measured.

(01)MirrorThe ledger reads your TMS's exports and shadows every live shipment.
(02)ShadowRates, invoices, and alerts computed in parallel. Deltas dashboarded. Nothing external changes.
(03)AugmentEvidence starts flowing forward: drivers on the PWA, POD photos, unified comms.
(04)Authority flipsRating → invoicing → dispatch → settlement. Each behind a gate. Automatic fallback on drift.
(05)ArchiveYour old system goes read-only. Full history preserved. Exit report generated.

Parity gates: aggregate ±2% · per-route ±10% · invoice match to the penny · two clean closes before money flags flip.
