Spending Time Planning Loads? Check Out Prophesy Loadbuilder

“We’re spending too much time building loads for our trucks. Then, like clockwork, something will happen at the last minute that changes everything, and we have to do it all over again!” Sound familiar?

Our dispatch customers have an easy solution: Prophesy’s Loadbuilder. This module is a multi-stop load building and route optimizing system that is fully integrated with our top-rated Dispatch software.

Users will build multi-stop truckloads, or even multi-stop, multi-shipment truckloads, which then seamlessly flow into Prophesy Dispatch to be managed from that point on. In addition, when combined with New Prophesy VisiFreight, everything on a truck becomes visible from the earliest planning stages through to delivery. Your valued customers always know where their shipments are.

Royce Nelson of FG Transportation in Carthage, Missouri, chose Prophesy Dispatch due to it’s full integration the Prophesy loadbuilding module. Nelson likes the real-time data exchange between the modules, which prevents him from ever having to enter data twice.

“We see Loadbuilder and Dispatch as a perfect combination of planning and execution,” explained Edward J. Forman, Prophesy President/CEO. While Loadbuilder plans the loads, Prophesy Dispatch monitors all the critical steps, up to and including final delivery. “If our Dispatch customers find themselves spending time planning their loads, then they should be interested in our loadbuilding capabilities,” added Forman.
