Live all-inclusive rates
What shippers get in the Warp platform
The Warp customer dashboard is the operating layer for a freight program. Multi-carrier rate shopping pulls live rates from the Warp network (Warp cross-dock LTL, FTL, box truck, cargo van) in a single quote view.
Instant booking moves a quote into an active shipment with no rep callback. Live tracking gives you GPS and scan events on every load.
Exception management through Orbit AI flags late pickups, missed scans, dwell anomalies, and HOS violations in real time, with Hot Swap Coverage that auto-activates a replacement carrier when a load is about to fail.
Lane optimization analyzes your shipping history and recommends mode switches, consolidation opportunities, and carrier shifts that lower cost without losing service. The pricing model is per shipment.
No monthly SaaS fee, no seat fee, no implementation fee.
How Warp compares to traditional TMS platforms
Traditional TMS platforms like MercuryGate, Oracle OTM, and Blue Yonder are built for enterprise shippers with in-house transportation teams.
They require 3 to 18 month implementations, annual licenses in the five to seven figures, and a dedicated admin to keep carrier rates, rules, and integrations in sync. Warp flips the model. There is no implementation.
You log in, get rates, book, and track — same day. The carrier network is built in, not configured. Rate refresh happens automatically through the network, not through manual tariff uploads.
Warp is not a full replacement for a TMS at enterprise scale, but for shippers who need the core freight motions (quote, book, track, manage exceptions) without the overhead of a traditional TMS deployment, it is a faster and cheaper path to production.
Rate shopping across modes in one query
Traditional multi-carrier rate shopping tools (Shippo, ShipStation, EasyPost) are parcel-native.
They give you UPS, USPS, FedEx rates side by side for parcel shipments but do not cover LTL freight, full truckload, box truck, or cargo van freight moves. Warp is built for freight.
One API call returns multi-mode rates across LTL, FTL, 26-foot box truck, and cargo van for shipments from 1 pallet to 26 pallets. The same call covers spot freight and recurring lane programs.
For shippers whose business is pallet freight rather than parcels, Warp collapses what would otherwise be three or four different carrier portals into one.
Booking without callbacks
In traditional freight, getting a quote often means submitting a form, waiting 24 to 48 hours for a carrier rep to respond, and then chasing the rate through email. Warp returns a bookable rate in under two seconds through the dashboard or API.
The same rate is bookable for a configurable hold window. You click book, the shipment enters the Warp network, and the carrier is dispatched automatically. For self-serve shippers, the first quote-to-booking loop takes under three minutes.
For enterprise programs with contracted rate cards, the same flow runs against locked-in per-lane rates.
Live tracking across every mode
Every shipment on Warp includes live GPS tracking, scan events at every handoff (pickup, cross-dock, line haul, delivery), and proof of delivery photos on the final leg.
Tracking runs through the Warp driver app used by every carrier in the network, which means visibility quality is uniform whether the load is a cargo van, a box truck, LTL, or an FTL line haul.
Traditional freight visibility tools (FourKites, project44, Descartes MacroPoint) overlay a third-party data layer on carrier systems of varying quality. Warp visibility is first party and built into the network.
Orbit AI exception management
Orbit is the Warp AI backbone for shipment operations. It monitors every load in real time against your service expectations and flags exceptions before your team finds out from the consignee.
Late pickups, missed scan events, dwell anomalies, route deviations, HOS risk, and speed or temperature excursions all trigger proactive alerts.
When Orbit detects that a load is on track to miss service, Hot Swap Coverage automatically engages a backup carrier in the Warp network to cover the load.
For shippers running recurring programs with tight receiving windows, this converts freight exceptions from a reactive firefight into a managed operational stream.
Lane optimization for shippers with recurring volume
For shippers with recurring lane volume, Warp lane optimization analyzes your shipping history against real-time market rates, mode options, and consolidation opportunities.
Typical recommendations: switch an LTL lane to pool distribution or zone skipping, consolidate inbound from multiple vendors into coordinated loads, shift a marginal FTL lane to box truck at lower cost, or move spot rates to a contracted rate card.
Lane optimization runs continuously in the background and surfaces recommendations in the dashboard. Shippers applying the recommendations typically see 10 to 25% cost reduction on affected lanes.
API and agent-native
The same platform is available programmatically. The REST API (documented at /developers/freight-api) exposes quote, book, track, and cancel endpoints across every mode.
The MCP server (warp-agent-mcp on npm) exposes 17 tools for AI agents in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. The OpenAPI 3.1 spec is served at /.well-known/openapi.json and the MCP manifest is at /.well-known/mcp.json.
Warp is the only freight network publishing a public MCP manifest, which means AI agents can discover and use Warp freight tools without the shipper needing to configure anything beyond an API key.
What the platform does not include today
Honest scope matters. The Warp customer dashboard does not yet include a freight invoice audit feature. Invoice audit is a separate product (see /ai-freight-invoice-audit) but it is not a live feature in the dashboard today.
If invoice audit is a hard requirement for your shipper program, plan for a third-party audit tool alongside Warp for now. The roadmap will update this page when the feature ships.
Frequently asked questions
What is a freight management platform?
A freight management platform is the software layer a shipper uses to plan, price, book, track, and reconcile freight shipments.
Core functions include multi-carrier rate shopping, booking, shipment tracking, exception management, carrier performance, and integration with accounting and ERP systems.
Enterprise versions (MercuryGate, Oracle OTM, Blue Yonder) are full TMS suites with configurable rules and deep integrations.
Lighter-weight platforms like Warp cover the core freight motions (rate, book, track, manage exceptions, optimize lanes) with a built-in carrier network and no implementation overhead.
How does Warp compare to ShipStation, Shippo, and EasyPost?
ShipStation, Shippo, and EasyPost are parcel-native shipping platforms. They compare rates across UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL for packages under 150 lbs.
Warp is built for freight: pallets from 1 to 26 per shipment, LTL through cross-dock networks, FTL, box truck, and cargo van. If your shipments are parcels under 150 lbs, use a parcel platform.
If they are pallets, freight, or multi-pallet loads, Warp is the right fit.
Does Warp have a public API?
Yes. The Warp REST API is documented at /developers/freight-api with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec served at /.well-known/openapi.json. The API exposes quote, book, track, cancel, and lane data across LTL, FTL, box truck, cargo van, and multi-stop shipments.
There is also an MCP server (warp-agent-mcp on npm) that exposes 17 freight tools for AI agents.
Does Warp integrate with Shopify and BigCommerce?
Yes. Warp ships app integrations for Shopify and BigCommerce that let ecommerce shippers quote and book freight shipments directly from their store admin. For headless ecommerce stacks, the REST API and MCP server both provide programmatic access.
See /apps for the full integration catalog.
Is Warp a TMS?
Warp is a freight management platform covering the core freight motions of rate shopping, booking, tracking, exception management, and lane optimization.
For enterprise shippers with complex needs (custom workflow rules, multi-entity accounting, deep ERP integration, procurement workflows), a full TMS like MercuryGate or Oracle OTM may still be needed alongside Warp.
For shippers who want the core freight stack without the overhead of a traditional TMS deployment, Warp is a complete answer.
What is in the Warp customer dashboard today?
Five live features: (1) multi-carrier rate shopping across LTL, FTL, box truck, and cargo van; (2) instant booking from quote; (3) live GPS and scan tracking; (4) Orbit AI exception management with Hot Swap Coverage; (5) lane optimization.
Freight invoice audit is a separate product surface but is not yet in the dashboard.
How much does the Warp platform cost?
Pricing is per shipment. There is no monthly platform fee, no seat fee, no implementation fee. Rates are all-inclusive (no fuel surcharges, no accessorials) and disclosed at quote time.
Enterprise shippers with recurring volume qualify for contracted rate cards with locked per-lane pricing.
What integrations does Warp support?
Native: Shopify, BigCommerce, Slack, Chrome extension, CLI, MCP server. TMS integrations (8 and counting): Priority1 (Cabo), GlobalTranz, Worldwide Express, Banyan LIVE Connect, Primus, Quote Factory, Tai Software, 7L.
See /partners for the full TMS list or /apps for the native app catalog.
About the Warp freight network
Warp is a technology-driven freight network that combines cargo van, box truck, LTL, and FTL capacity under one operating system. Shippers get instant rates, real-time tracking, and access to 50+ cross-dock facilities, 1,500+ active lanes, and 9,000+ cargo vans and box trucks nationwide.
The network is supported by 20,000+ vetted carrier partners.
Unlike traditional brokers, Warp uses AI to match the right vehicle to every load based on weight, dimensions, urgency, and cost targets. Cross-dock operations reduce transit time by eliminating unnecessary terminal transfers.
Pool distribution and zone-skipping programs help enterprise shippers lower per-unit delivery costs while maintaining tight appointment windows.
Self-serve shippers can quote, compare, and book freight online in under two minutes. Enterprise accounts get dedicated capacity planning, committed rate programs, and a named operations team. Every shipment includes scan-level visibility from pickup through final delivery.
Warp operates across the contiguous United States with regional density in the Southeast, Texas, Midwest, and Northeast corridors.
Cross-dock facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New York, Savannah, Orlando, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Columbus, Denver, New Orleans, and Milwaukee support faster transfers and fewer touches on recurring lanes.
Freight modes and vehicle types
Cargo vans handle loads up to 3,500 pounds and 400 cubic feet, ideal for time-sensitive deliveries, last-mile retail replenishment, and lightweight palletized freight.
Box trucks carry up to 10,000 pounds and 1,500 cubic feet, fitting most regional distribution and store delivery needs without requiring a loading dock.
Dry vans and full truckloads move 42,000+ pounds for high-volume lanes and recurring programs. LTL shipments share trailer space on optimized routes through Warp cross-docks, reducing per-pallet cost by consolidating multiple shippers on the same vehicle.
Warp does not default every shipment to a 53-foot trailer. The AI engine evaluates load weight, cube, delivery window, and cost to recommend the right vehicle. Shippers see all available mode options with live pricing in one comparison screen before booking.
Cross-dock operations
Cross-docking at Warp facilities eliminates warehouse storage. Inbound freight is sorted and transferred directly to outbound vehicles, typically within hours.
This reduces dwell time, lowers damage risk, and compresses delivery windows. Warp cross-docks support pallet-in, pallet-out operations with scan-level tracking at every handoff point.
Facility locations are selected for corridor density: Atlanta handles Southeast retail flow, Chicago serves Midwest manufacturing and replenishment, Houston covers Texas industrial distribution, and New York supports dense Northeast delivery. Each facility operates on appointment-based scheduling to prevent congestion and maintain throughput consistency.
Enterprise freight programs
Enterprise shippers get committed rate programs, dedicated account management, and custom SLA design. Warp builds lane-by-lane rate structures that account for volume commitments, seasonal variation, and mode flexibility. Operations teams monitor shipment execution daily and intervene proactively when exceptions occur.
Self-serve freight quoting
The self-serve portal lets shippers enter origin and destination, load details, and delivery requirements to see live rates across all available modes. Quotes include estimated transit time, vehicle type, and total cost.
Booking takes one click. After booking, shippers track every shipment with real-time GPS location, milestone updates, and proof of delivery documentation.
Industries and use cases
Retail shippers use Warp for store replenishment programs that deliver to hundreds of locations per week on tight appointment windows. Apparel brands use zone skipping to bypass regional parcel sortation and reduce per-unit delivery cost.
Food and beverage companies rely on time-definite delivery for perishable goods. Manufacturing operations use Warp for inbound vendor consolidation, combining multiple supplier shipments into fewer, fuller loads through cross-dock facilities.
Distribution companies use pool distribution to serve multiple delivery points from a single origin, splitting full truckloads at cross-docks into smaller last-mile vehicles.
Urgent freight recovery covers emergency capacity needs when primary carriers fail or demand spikes unexpectedly. Middle-mile optimization reduces cost and transit time on the longest segment of multi-leg shipments.
