Platform · Load Lifecycle
One state machine, from RFQ to settlement close
Every load moves through a single authoritative lifecycle — with auditable transitions, immutable quote snapshots, and guardrails at every stage.
DRAFT → OPPORTUNITY
Validate intake fields on entry — customer, lane, stops, equipment, references — before a load can advance.
BOOKED with snapshots
Accepted quotes freeze an immutable financial snapshot so margin is never quietly rewritten downstream.
COVERED & DISPATCHED
A compliant carrier accepting a tender and a confirmed tracking method gate the move into dispatch.
READY_TO_BILL → SETTLED
Approved PODs and documents open AR/AP, with backward transitions requiring a recorded reason and approver.
- Role-specific work queues for drafts, opportunities, uncovered, active, and exception loads
- Invalid backward transitions blocked unless an authorized correction workflow records before/after values
- Cancellation reasons and financial consequences modeled at pre-dispatch, in-transit, and post-delivery
