TMS Automation for Carriers

Hey Bubba! is an AI back-office automation platform for fleets. One of the things it does is keep your TMS current. Load assignments, rate confirmation details, dispatch records, milestone statuses and freight documents are written to the TMS as the work happens, so your system of record stays up to date without anyone keying the same information twice.

Duplicate entry is the tax on having good systems

A carrier with a TMS, a load board subscription and an ELD has three systems that each know part of the story and none that knows all of it. The gap between them is filled by a person retyping.

It is the most reliably wasted time in a back office, and the most reliable source of errors, because a number retyped is a number that can be retyped wrong, and nobody notices until it reaches an invoice.

What syncs

• Load assignments as they are booked
• Rate and terms from the rate confirmation
• Driver dispatch records
• Milestone statuses (arrival, loading, departure, delivery) from ELD geofence events
• Freight documents filed against the load: BOL, POD, scale tickets and rate confirmations
• Detention events and dwell timestamps
• Appointment windows and facility requirements

The documents themselves are read and classified before they sync. How document processing works.

Your TMS stays the system of record

This matters more than it sounds. Bubba does not ask you to move your operation into a new system. It fills in the one you already run, so reporting, accounting and audit keep working the way they do now, with better data in them.

Connected platforms

AscendTMS and TAI TMS are connected today. Bubba is open by design and keeps adding systems and capabilities on request, so if your TMS is not on the list yet, that is a conversation rather than a dead end. See all connected tools.

At any fleet size

• Owner-operators. Records stay current without an evening of data entry.
• Small fleets, 2 to 10 trucks. The TMS reflects what is happening rather than lagging a few days behind it.
• Midsize and enterprise, 11 or more trucks. Consistent records across the fleet, and an audit trail that does not depend on who was on shift.

Frequently asked questions

Which TMS platforms does Bubba connect to?

AscendTMS and TAI TMS today, alongside ELD and telematics providers and the major load boards. The full list is on the connected tools page.

Does Bubba replace our TMS?

No. Your TMS stays the system of record; Bubba keeps it current.

Does the sync run both ways?

Yes. Bubba writes bookings, documents and status updates into a connected TMS and reads the load and driver records it needs from it.

What if we use a TMS that is not connected?

Bubba keeps adding integrations on request, and custom connections can be built through its API. Book a demo and bring the name of your system.
