    The constraint

    • Accepted loads were inconsistently executed as some carriers rejected tenders or canceled loads without notice
    • Small regional carriers lacked real-time tracking, requiring coordinators to make many manual check calls
    • Late discovery of missed pickups or deliveries left little time for recovery, increasing spot freight costs, missed appointments, and costly chargebacks
    • Eleven coordinators spent most of their day on check calls rather than managing exceptions

    What Chase changed

    • Detects carrier assignment and pickup risks well before the appointment window to allow proactive management
    • Contacts carrier dispatchers and, when needed, drivers directly to confirm their commitment and expected arrival times
    • Provides structured voice calls to carriers without telematics, ensuring no shipment goes unmonitored
    • Monitors shipments for in-transit delays, excessive idle time, and route deviations to catch issues early
    • Automatically updates shipment status and escalates only when commercial decisions require human intervention
