Carrier onboarding and book management for small brokerages
Small brokerages need carrier onboarding and insurance expiry tracking together.
Why it can work
- Onboarding carriers through PDF packets is manual and slow.
- Missed insurance renewals fall on the ops lead.
- Brokers want to rate carriers and log failures per load.
Watch out
- Brokers are unsure which carrier fields matter beyond basics.
- Users may resist changing from spreadsheets.

The job to be done
Onboard and vet carriers with compliance tracking
When a small brokerage adds new carriers and must keep their insurance certificates current, the ops lead needs to onboard carriers and track certificate expirations and performance in one place, so they can speed up setup and avoid missed renewals.

A small brokerage handling 100-150 loads a month onboards carriers using a PDF packet, which is manual and slow.
Carrier insurance certificates and expiry dates are tracked manually, so renewals are missed and the ops lead gets blamed.
Managing a personal book of carriers in a spreadsheet is limiting, and the broker isn't sure what fields beyond name, contact, rating, lanes and equipment would be…
Show all
Brokerage wants an internal way to rate carriers per load and log performance failures without hiring programmers.
