The Challenge

When Capacity Gaps Disrupt Operations and Cash Flow

Logistics and supply chain operations do not stop after business hours. Loads continue moving through nights and weekends, drivers and customers need answers, and delays or exceptions require immediate attention.

As volume grows, lean dispatch and operations teams can quickly become a bottleneck. Recruiting and replacing experienced dispatchers takes time, while existing staff juggle urgent calls, pickup scheduling, paperwork, shipment tracking, and exceptions. Providing after-hours coverage adds even more overtime and labor costs.

The pressure extends beyond dispatch. Delayed invoices, missed detention and accessorial charges, and unresolved claims weaken cash flow. Forecasting and inventory planning get pushed behind daily operational demands, increasing the risk of stockouts and excess inventory.

We saw this firsthand with a North Carolina transportation provider whose dispatch capacity could not keep pace with demand. We began with two dispatchers in the Philippines and expanded to four as volume grew. The team cost approximately 70% less than comparable U.S. staffing, saving the company roughly $200,000 annually.

What this shows is that you can grow capacity with demand without adding U.S. headcount at the same rate. Building your team in stages gives you more coverage while keeping staffing costs under control.
What We Do

Keep Freight Moving and Operations on Track

We help you build full-time global teams around the work that keeps your logistics and supply chain operations running. Add dedicated support where capacity is stretched, from shipment coordination to billing and planning.

01

Extend coverage beyond business hours

We help you staff night and weekend coverage so driver calls, shipment updates, and urgent coordination do not all fall on your daytime team.

02

Keep shipment information current

We connect you with talent to monitor shipments, update your TMS, and flag delays, giving your operations team the information needed to respond.

03

Keep billing and collections moving

We help you add support for freight invoicing, detention and accessorial charges, and receivables follow-up so completed loads do not become a billing backlog.

04

Give exceptions dedicated follow-through

We help you build capacity for claims documentation, missing paperwork, and open-case follow-up so unresolved issues do not compete with every new shipment.

05

Make time for proactive planning

We connect you with talent for forecasting, inventory analysis, and carrier reporting so planning gets consistent attention alongside daily operations.

Security

Security Built Around Your Logistics Workflows

Your logistics team may work with shipment, customer, carrier, rate, and billing data. We structure access around the role and the security controls you already have in place.

TMS and Systems Access

You decide which transportation management systems, load boards, customer portals, and accounts each person can access. We align permissions and authentication requirements to the role and the work they perform.
We put confidentiality and non-disclosure requirements in place before work begins. Additional protections can be added based on your engagement, jurisdiction, or client requirements.
You can restrict access to customer lists, carrier agreements, rate data, and lane information based on the role. This limits each person to the accounts and data they need to do their work.
If your team uses employee-owned devices, we can provide managed BYOD security designed to help protect the devices used to access your systems and data.
You can use your existing VPN and security infrastructure, or we can provide managed VPN protection with encrypted connections, threat protection, and controlled access to company resources.
