Cloud Based Transportation Management System

Grasshopper is a transportation management system that plans routes, runs dispatch, and captures proof of delivery on one platform. Built for operations moving big and bulky freight, where a stop takes an appointment window, a crew, and a piece count that has to match.

All-in-One Transportation Management System

From the moment an order is accepted to the signature at the door, connected logistics software modules handle it. A TMS system built for operations ready to scale, replacing the spreadsheets and phone calls that sit between planning and delivery.

Route Planning & Optimization

Routes are built around service levels, delivery windows, and how much room is left on the truck. Grasshopper's AI powered route optimization uses historic data, current conditions, and the specific variables on each route to generate the most efficient sequence possible.

Live Truck View and Dispatching

Dispatchers watch every vehicle move in real time, reassign stops, and message drivers without leaving the board. Live truck view and dispatching runs on the same record as the driver app, so every one of those changes reaches the phone the moment it is made.

Live Delivery Tracking

Every stop reports its own position and status as the day runs. Customers receive branded communications with arrival windows and live tracking information automatically, which is what keeps the phone from ringing. Delivery tracking that dispatch and the customer read from the same record.

Shipping Calculator

Price a delivery before it is booked and hand the customer a number they can act on. The shipping calculator returns a cost from origin, destination, weight, and service level in seconds, so quotes go out with margin visible rather than guessed at.

End-to-End Transportation Management

Four parts of the job, running against one order record rather than four systems that disagree.

Route Planning & Optimization

A route is not a list of addresses. It is a sequence built around service levels, appointment windows, piece counts, and truck capacity.

Grasshopper's AI powered route optimization uses historic data, current conditions, and the specific variables on each route to generate the most efficient sequence possible, then rebuilds it when a stop runs long and pushes the update straight to the driver phone.

It is last mile delivery route planning software that holds up on a real day rather than only on the plan.

Live Truck View and Dispatching

Routing and dispatch software is where a plan meets a Tuesday. A truck breaks down, a customer moves a window, a stop gets added at ten.

Every vehicle shows its live position on one board, stops are reassigned by drag and drop, and dispatchers message drivers directly. Every change writes to the order rather than to a notepad.

Live truck view and dispatching and the driver app are the same system, so what dispatch sees is what the driver sees.

Tracking and Electronic Proof of Delivery

A delivery is not finished when the truck leaves. It is finished when there is proof.

Signature, photos, and the outcome of every piece are captured at the door and land on the order before the driver is back in the cab. Customers receive branded communications with arrival windows and live tracking information automatically.

Electronic proof of delivery closes the loop that last mile delivery tracking software opened at the dock.

Shipping Calculator and Rating

Quoting from a rate sheet and a guess is how margin disappears.

The shipping calculator prices a move from origin, destination, weight, and service level in seconds, and the same rate profile that produced the quote produces the invoice.

Accessorials and fuel surcharges price from what actually happened on the route rather than from memory.

Built for Big and Bulky Freight

A stop that needs an appointment, a crew, and a matching piece count is a different job from a doorstep drop. Grasshopper's TMS system is built around that.

πŸ“…

Appointment Windows

Customers choose a window from the capacity actually left on the route, not one you hope holds.

🚚

Capacity-Aware Routing

Load planning accounts for what fits on the truck, so an efficient route is also a loadable one.

πŸ“‹

Service Levels on Every Order

White glove, threshold, and curbside ride on the order, so the crew knows the job before they arrive.

Mobile

Two Apps, One Record

The work happens on a dock and at a door, so both run on a phone. Whatever either app captures writes straight back to the same order the dispatcher is watching.

On the road

Driver App

Everything a driver needs for the day, captured at the door.

  • Single and multi-day routing
  • ePOD with signatures and photos
  • Service ticket management on the stop
On the floor

Warehouse App

Built for 3PL warehouses running several clients out of one building.

  • Inbound and outbound operations
  • Receiving, put-away, picking, and loading
  • Task management across the floor

Performance Dashboard
& Custom Reports

On-time delivery, route efficiency, driver performance, and cost per stop sit beside each other rather than in separate tools.

Dashboards update as the day runs, so a route falling behind is visible while there is still time to act on it. Reports can be cut per client, per region, or per driver.

Transportation Management System FAQ

What is a cloud based transportation management system?

A cloud based transportation management system plans delivery routes, runs dispatch, tracks vehicles in real time, and captures proof of delivery, all from a browser rather than software installed on site. Grasshopper's TMS system handles those four jobs against one order record, so the route a dispatcher changes at 10am is the route the driver sees on their phone.

How does route optimization work in a TMS?

Grasshopper's AI powered route optimization uses historic data, current conditions, and the specific variables on each route, including service levels, delivery windows, piece counts, and truck capacity, to generate the most efficient sequence possible. When a stop runs long the route rebuilds and the update goes straight to the driver phone.

What is electronic proof of delivery?

Electronic proof of delivery, or ePOD, is the signature, photos, and item level outcome captured on a phone at the point of delivery instead of on paper. In Grasshopper's TMS system that proof lands on the order before the driver leaves the address, so dispatch, billing, and the customer are all looking at the same confirmation.

Can a transportation management system handle big and bulky freight?

Yes. Big and bulky deliveries need an appointment window, sometimes a two person crew, and a piece count that has to match what came off the truck. Grasshopper is built around those requirements, with service levels like white glove, threshold, and curbside attached to the order so the crew knows the job before they arrive.
