What slow onboarding costs your network

Every new carrier is a build. Someone reads the carrier's documentation, maps their fields to yours, and tests it until it works.

That work sits in a queue behind everything else engineering has already committed to. By the time it clears, the region has opened without you or the peak has passed.

The build also limits which carriers you add. A carrier needs enough volume to justify an engineering project, which rules out the regional carriers and new lanes that could lower your cost or improve service levels.

How Locus Agents onboard a carrier

Carrier onboarding runs inside the Locus Agentic TMS, alongside carrier selection, dispatch, and settlement.

Locus Agents start from whatever documentation exists. That is also where most integrations break: a field gets renamed, a header goes missing, and nobody updates the PDF.

Locus Agents test every call against the carrier's own API in a staged environment. When a call fails, they correct the mapping and retry. The carrier's own API has the final say.

01

Name the carrier

Upload their API documentation, in whatever form it exists

02

Agents build and test

Every field mapped, then validated against the carrier's live API

No engineering ticket

03

You approve

Nothing reaches production unreviewed

04

Agents keep re-validating

A changed field surfaces before a delivery fails

Continues after go-live

What changes for your team

Your team never waits on engineering

Your operations team makes the call. Locus Agents do the build, and nothing gets filed with engineering.

Tune your carrier mix

Test a regional carrier or a new lane on small volumes, then scale the ones that lower cost and improve on‑time delivery.

Self-correcting after go-live

Locus Agents re-validate every carrier connection continuously and correct what drifts.

Recognized by Gartner

Locus is named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for Multicarrier Parcel Management Solutions, 2026.

Autonomous, on your terms

Agents act inside limits your team sets.

A human approves before go-live. Your team sees the finished mapping and signs off.

Every action is logged. Inputs and outputs attach to each step, so the audit trail exists without anyone assembling one.

You set the autonomy level. Your team decides how far the agents act on their own, and moves that line when the results earn it.

The next carrier you need is the one nobody has yet

See how fast it goes live.
