Our mission is to establish simple integrations that enable brokers to digitally exchange information with OTR Solutions and make day-to-day business exchanges more efficient. In digitizing this exchange, we are reducing excess staff phone time, enhancing the carrier experience with faster setup and increased load coverage, and streamlining document exchange and rate/payment verification. This digitization leads to an exchange that is more secure, cost-effective, and scalable.

Key Processes

The Load Sharing API supports the process of sharing valid rate verification information and ensuring easy and accurate invoice creation in OTR systems by pre-populating their invoice creation with Load information received from the broker.

Today, verification of the load information is accomplished either by confirming paperwork via email or making a phone call to the broker. The process can be incredibly time-consuming and inefficient, not only for the carrier, but also the broker. Sharing load data via API would facilitate a more accurate and consistent confirmation of rates, reduce manual tasks for both the carrier and the broker, and ensure timely and transparent acceptance of the load.

The Rate Verification API addresses the following use cases:
• A Carrier books a load with a Broker.
• A Broker wants to upload Rate data to OTR
• A Carrier has completed delivery of a load.
• A Carrier takes an advance is taken on a load
• An issue arises with the load (e.g. Claim, TONU, etc)

Data Entities Exchanged
• Load Information (Rate Confirmation)
• Advance Information
• Load Status

Load Management

For a Carrier to factor an invoice through OTR Solutions they need to upload the load data and paperwork. When a Load board, Broker, or Broker TMS has created a load in the OTR system, the OTR system will pre-populate invoice information for the carrier. The information below are actions that the Broker can take to surface relevant information to the carrier for streamlined invoice factoring.
