How It Works

Go live in days, not months

We integrate into your TMS and workflows as an extension of your team: no process changes, no disruption, no learning curve.

The Process

Four steps to operational freedom

Connect Your TMS

We plug into your existing TMS: McLeod, TMW, Aljex, MercuryGate, or any other platform. No migration required. No new software to learn. Your team keeps working exactly as they do today.

Meet Your Dedicated Team

A dedicated team of trained specialists (with separate AP and AR team members) is assigned to your account. During a 2-3 week ramp-up period, they learn your specific workflows, TMS configuration, customer requirements, and billing rules. They become experts in YOUR operation.

Account-specific playbooks

We Run Your Back Office

Your team handles the day-to-day: PODs chased within 24 hours, every carrier invoice verified before payment, shipper invoices prepared and submitted, AR monitored and collected. You get weekly performance reports.

You Scale Without Hiring

Add loads, not headcount. As your volume grows, your dedicated pod scales with you. When volume dips, you can scale back down. Quality stays at 99%+ because every team member follows standardized operational playbooks.

Frequently asked questions

How long does onboarding take?

Most brokerages go live within 2 to 3 weeks. During onboarding, ClearLane connects to your TMS, reviews your rate structures and key customer accounts, documents your operational workflows, and trains a dedicated team on your specific processes.

No. ClearLane plugs into your existing TMS using dedicated login credentials. There is no data migration, no software installation, and no disruption to your current team’s workflow. If your team uses McLeod, TMW, Aljex, Tai, Turvo, or another platform, ClearLane works inside it.

Every ClearLane client is assigned a dedicated team, not a rotating pool of generalists. Your team is trained specifically on your workflows, your rate structures, and your key customers. You also get a dedicated client success contact for ongoing communication and performance reviews.

During the first week, ClearLane runs parallel operations alongside your existing processes to ensure accuracy and consistency. Your dedicated team processes live loads under close quality assurance review. Performance reports are generated daily during this ramp period, and your client success contact is available for real-time feedback.

Every client receives weekly performance reports covering key metrics: POD turnaround time, invoice accuracy rates, AR aging analysis, revenue recovered through pre-billing audits, and any exceptions or issues flagged during the week. Your dedicated client success contact walks through the report with you and addresses any operational questions.

If you add bookkeeping services, a dedicated bookkeeper is assigned to your account during onboarding. They review your chart of accounts, learn your recurring transactions and vendor categories, connect to your accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, or Sage), and begin reconciliation. The bookkeeping team is separate from your freight operations team to ensure accounting expertise is not diluted by load-processing work.
