Pushbuild

Software that connects dispatch, tracking and invoicing for a logistics company.

Freight data tends to live in three or four places: the TMS, the tracking portal, the carrier's emails and a spreadsheet someone keeps. We connect them so a load is entered once, customers get status without calling, and invoices go out when the paperwork is in. The scope is written down and agreed before we start.

Sound familiar?

What logistics and freight companies tell us before a project starts.

  • Dispatch, tracking and invoicing each live in a different system and we copy between them.
  • Customers call every few hours asking where their load is.
  • Bills of lading and proof-of-delivery arrive as photos and PDFs and someone retypes them.
  • Invoices wait days because the paperwork is incomplete and nobody knows which piece is missing.
  • We cannot see margin per lane or per customer without a day in a spreadsheet.

What we build

Each one is a working piece you can open and check when it's done.

One view across tracking, dispatch and billing

Data from the systems you already run pulled into one dashboard, so each load shows its status, carrier, cost and invoice state on one line.

Dashboards and reporting ETL and data pipelines

Load documents read automatically

Rate confirmations, bills of lading and delivery receipts read on arrival, with the key fields filled into your system for a person to check.

PDF and document data extraction

Customer status updates

Pickup, in-transit and delivered messages sent to the customer by email or text from the load record, so fewer check-in calls reach dispatch.

n8n, Make and Zapier automation API integrations and data sync

Invoice when the paperwork is complete

A load is flagged ready to bill once the delivery document is in, the invoice is drafted in your accounting system, and anything missing is chased.

QuickBooks, Xero and HubSpot integrations

Carrier and rate tracking

Quotes, carrier details and lane history collected from emails and portals into one sheet or database you can search.

Web scraping and data pipelines Python scripts and utilities

Quote requests handled faster

Incoming quote requests parsed into a standard form, matched to your lane rates and sent to the right person with a draft reply.

n8n, Make and Zapier automation

Logistics software we work with: McLeod, Turvo, Samsara, Project44, Descartes, Rose Rocket, Aljex.

And the general tools around it: QuickBooks, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Twilio, Zapier, Make, n8n, Power BI.

Example projects

Illustrations of the shape of the work, not past clients. Yours gets its own written scope.

Example project

Split freight data into one dashboard

Example: a regional freight operation has tracking, dispatch and invoicing in separate tools. The data is pulled nightly into one dashboard with a line for each load and its billing state.

APIs, a small database, Looker Studio

Example project

Proof of delivery to invoice

Example: a brokerage receives delivery photos from drivers. Each one is read, matched to its load, and the load is marked ready to invoice with a draft in the accounting system.

Email, PDF extraction, QuickBooks

Example project

Where is my load text

Example: a small carrier lets customers text a load number and get back the latest status from the dispatch record, with a person taking over if the answer is unclear.

Example build

Supplier invoice extraction for an accounts-payable team (PDF to structured data)

  • PDF and scan ingestion from a shared inbox and a watched folder
  • Header and line-item extraction with per-field confidence scores
  • Per-vendor templates that improve as invoices are approved
  • Checks: line items vs subtotal, duplicate detection, PO match, GL account suggestion

Python, OCR, layout-aware PDF parsing, LLM extraction with validation rules, PostgreSQL, React

Questions people ask first

Our TMS is old. Can you still connect to it?

Often, yes. If it has an API we use it. If it only exports files or has a web portal, we can usually work from those. We check this first and tell you in the scope.

Do we have to replace our systems?

No. The aim is to connect what you have and remove the retyping between them.

Who owns what you build?

You do. It runs in your own accounts, with notes on how it works so your team can change it later.

How do we start?

Tell us which systems hold your loads and where the most retyping happens. We reply with questions or a written scope.

Tell us what you need built.

Email a few lines about what you want and which tools you use, or call. We reply with questions or a written scope.
