Initiate Auto Tracking On Your Load

To unlock the magic of your Transflo Velocity+ integration, start by assigning your Transflo registered carrier to a load. Be sure to fill out the load expense financials with a rate for your carrier. If you are not familiar with how to assign a carrier to a load, please visit our support article HERE.

From the Shortcuts menu in Load Management or from the Load Actions bar at the top of the load, click "Dispatch and Tracking" to start tracking the load with Transflo.

If your carrier is not already a Transflo Mobile+ or Transflo Command Center user, an invitation will go out to the carrier requesting them to open an account.

If your carrier is reviewed by Transflo already, you will be cleared to proceed. Select the large blue Sync Load Data with Transflo button to send your load confirmation to the carrier for approval.

Tracking and Document Capture

With Transflo & AscendTMS, you now have 100% digital document capture and tracking on all loads! Everything is kept within your Load Log for easy reference. Once you have initiated auto-tracking on the load (see above) your carrier has the ability to update every step of the way via the Transflo app. 

As they are updating the status of the load, this information will return into your AscendTMS automatically and be visible within your Load Log. 

First, you will get an indicator within your Last Contact column letting you know you have updates:

When you click to view updates, you will see your Load Log appear:

To view tracking breadcrumbs, select "View Load Log with map" from your shortcuts menu or Load Actions menu.

*Note: If you are not seeing the breadcrumb trails for tracking please contact TransFlo to have your Automatic breadcrumb tracking turned ON for your account! Please Email support@transflo.com to get assistance with this!

Document Capture:

The logistics pipeline has many moving pieces with paperwork for each one. Keeping track of all this information from multiple sources is time-consuming. With Transflo & AscendTMS, it has never been easier!

Now, your carrier simply needs to upload a photo of his document(s) into his Transflo app and voila - they are automatically attached to your Load Documents within AscendTMS! 

When a document is received, you will see this in your Load Log:You can select "Click here" to view the document or navigate to your View or Send Load Documents from your Shortcuts menu or Load Actions menu.

If that isn't cool enough, there is ANOTHER place you can manage documents from Transflo within AscendTMS - your Document Management! In Document Processing you will see all incoming documents from Transflo labeled for easy access and processing:

*Note: If you are not receiving documents from the TransFlo App please reach out to TransFLo and make sure you have your account document delivery settings set to API, not email! Please email support@transflo.com to get assistance with this!
