Manifest runs quotes, dispatch, the yard, billing and credit control from one login. Every load keeps one record from the first email to the posted invoice, and AI reads the paperwork for you.
Six tools that never spoke. Now one record per load.
Most carriers run a load across a spreadsheet, a CRM, a TMS, a yard planner and a lot of email. Manifest puts the customer, the price, every leg, the yard work, the paperwork and the invoice on the same order.

Delivered orders turn into draft invoices. Posting is safe to repeat, and the platform never moves money: no payments, transfers or payroll.
AI summaryadvice, not a decisionLow risk. Two trade references listed, one checked. Bank manager name and financial statements missing from the file.
Recommended: approveCAD 50,000 · Net 30 · waiting on an executive
New customers fill in their own credit application through a private link and sign it. Your risk team adds the credit report and reference checks, and an executive sets the limit. Until then, their orders can't be dispatched.
Drag a leg onto a driver. Their phone knows before you let go.
The dispatch board shows every unassigned leg, every driver and the next three days. Confirm the assignment and the driver gets a push notification with the job.
Seal checks built in. A loaded leg can't be dispatched until its seal number is confirmed.
Daily manifests. One per driver, plus a chat thread with dispatch.
Time and settlement. Shifts feed hourly or per-job settlement reports. Payroll stays with you.
Vendor legs too. Tender to active, insured carriers only. They sign the work order through a secure link.

The yard stops living on a whiteboard. Bookings make themselves.
Confirm an order that runs through your yard and Manifest creates the booking. Managers schedule it on a week view; the crew starts, completes and signs on their phones.
Week and day views. Drag unscheduled work onto a day, hour and bay.
BOLs at the booking. Generate, print and sign without leaving the yard.
Real costs on the order. Machine and labour rates price warehouse work, and yard costs land on the right order.
AI that does the reading. People make the calls.
Manifest's AI reads the documents your team drowns in and drafts the work. Nothing is sent, posted or dispatched until a person confirms it.
