Platform

Everything freight needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Shipmater is built for the full lifecycle — from job posting and carrier selection through live tracking, proof of delivery, and payment. One platform, every role covered.

Open Market Bidding

Post freight jobs to every verified carrier on the platform. Carriers compete — you pick the best price, timeline, and reputation.

Contracted Carriers

Lock in rates with trusted carriers under per-mile, flat, or per-load contracts. Direct dispatch with zero bidding friction.

Real-Time GPS Tracking

Live carrier position on an interactive map. Route polyline, ETA, and every ping stored — shipper and receiver both see it.

Smart Route Planning

OSRM-powered real-road routing calculates accurate distance and drive time before a job is even posted.

Multi-Role Access

Separate dashboards for shippers, carriers, receivers, and admins. Each role sees exactly what it needs and nothing it doesn't.

Bid Management

Carriers place, withdraw, and update bids. Shippers accept in one tap. Rejected bids are automatically notified.

Contract Management

Create, activate, and manage carrier contracts with custom rate types. Contracted jobs skip the market entirely.

Escrow Payments

Funds are held in escrow on job assignment and released automatically on delivery confirmation. Stripe-powered, dispute-protected.

Proof of Delivery

Carriers upload delivery photos at drop-off. Timestamped, GPS-tagged, and permanently attached to the shipment record.

Carrier Verification

DOT number, MC authority, and insurance verification built in. Run background checks before a carrier touches your freight.

Smart Notifications

Granular email and SMS alerts for every shipment event — assignment, pickup, GPS updates, delivery, and disputes.

Admin Console

Full platform visibility. Monitor all shipments, manage users, review disputes, and track platform revenue in one dashboard.
