Magnus Technologies unveiled AI-powered enhancements for its transportation management software to “transform” load planning, order management, and freight visibility for truckload carriers.
Magnus has more than 20 years of experience developing and deploying enterprise transportation management software, starting in the auto-hauling industry segment.
The latest enhancements to its software-as-a-service platform are designed to make truckload planners, customer service reps, and other knowledge workers more efficient and proactive.
“Truckload carriers are accustomed to using TMS platforms with manual processes, static views, and data grids for load planning and other functions,” said Jay Delaney, director of product management. “We broke the mold, redefining the user experience with data visualizations and AI-driven enhancements that deliver breakthrough fleet management capabilities.”

Truckload Planning
The Magnus Platform gives users forward visibility of freight and capacity in their planning regions up to five days in advance.
The platform’s comprehensive metrics, customizable views, and forecasting tools enable users to strategically reposition resources to balance freight networks, transforming empty miles and dwell time into revenue.
The Magnus Platform also enriches load planning with dynamic map visualizations, including real-time weather, traffic, and color-coding to identify exceptions.
Next-Level EDI and Freight Visibility
Magnus Technologies also introduced Magnus EDI Manager. The system allows users to define rules for auto-accepting customer load tenders via EDI and other data exchange methods.
Additionally, it helps companies make better-informed decisions regarding accepting or declining orders by providing visibility of network balance, lane guidance, and customer volume commitments.
The Magnus EDI Manager shows immediate lane profitability ratings (1 to 5 stars) for each load tender based on predefined rules and data analysis.

The company also announced enhancements to the Magnus Customer Tracking Portal, enabling fleets to provide greater transparency and end-to-end shipment visibility. The portal includes accurate shipment ETA predictions based on comprehensive variables.
Magnus also added new truckload rate calculations and accessorial charges to the TMS platform, hourly driver pay, and new yard check capabilities that support dropped trailers with visibility of cargo and location status.
Subscribers to the Magnus Platform receive these and other ongoing updates and enhancements at no additional cost.
