Operations

Cover every load. Clear every exception.

Your team handles the calls that need a human. Vic covers loads, chases statuses, and clears exceptions, end to end.

The operations reality

The work does not arrive in a neat queue

Driver questions, late loads, order changes, ETA requests, check calls, missing info. It all hits the desk at once. Vic takes the first pass so your team works the calls that need judgment.

Everything hitting the desk at once
“Where do I park tonight?” Load #4821 running late Customer wants an ETA Order change on #5530 12 check calls due Missing BOL on #4790
Vic sorts it, works the routine, and routes the judgment calls to your desk
Why it works

Vic keeps every load moving

Most tools flag a problem and wait for a person. Vic works the load the way a seasoned dispatcher would, across your TMS, phone, and inbox, and brings you only the calls that need a human.

Every load channel covered

Loads move across your TMS, the phone, email, and text. Vic works all of them at once, so nothing falls between systems.

  • TMS & dispatch board
  • Phone, SMS & email
  • Telematics & ELD feeds

Built for the operations domain

Hours of service, appointment windows, accessorials, home time. Vic handles work the way an experienced dispatcher would.

  • Knows HOS & appointments
  • Reads rate cons & PODs
  • Speaks dispatcher, not bot

Gets smarter with every load

Each load, lane, and driver preference Vic handles becomes context it keeps. Vic gets smarter, faster, and more accurate over time.

  • Learns your lanes
  • Remembers every driver
  • Sharper each shift
Live operations console

One live view across every load and message

Vic watches your loads, drivers, inboxes, and exceptions in real time, flags what is slipping, and works the routine items to done while your team stays in control.

What it covers

Pick a workflow. Watch Vic run it.

Operations is really several jobs running at once.  Pick one to see how Vic works it, and what it hands back to your team.

Order entry

Tenders in. Clean orders out.

Vic turns inbound rate cons and tenders into TMS-ready orders, keying stops, references, and rates, and flagging anything missing before it ever reaches the board.

  • Extracts stops, rates, and references from the rate con
  • Builds the order directly in your TMS
  • Flags missing fields before dispatch

Scheduling & appointments

Windows booked. Drivers slotted.

Vic books dock appointments against each load's pickup and delivery windows, then drafts the driver assignment so the desk only has to confirm.

  • Matches appointment windows to driver HOS
  • Books docks and confirms by email or portal
  • Flags conflicts before they reach the driver

Status tracking & follow-ups

Every load tracked. Every customer told.

Vic watches in-transit loads against their windows and pushes status updates to shippers and receivers before they ever pick up the phone to ask.

  • Runs check calls on every active load
  • Sends proactive ETAs to the customer
  • Logs every touch back into the TMS

Exception handling

Risk caught early. Options ready.

Vic watches for at-risk arrivals, late pickups, and HOS conflicts, works up the reroute options, and only escalates the calls that actually need a human decision.

  • Detects window and HOS risk in real time
  • Surfaces reroute and recovery options
  • Escalates with a recommendation, not just an alert

Task & order coordination

Loads built. Handoffs clean.

Vic turns inbound tenders into dispatch-ready orders and keeps the thread moving between planning, drivers, and the customer so nothing stalls waiting on a person.

  • Builds orders straight from the tender
  • Coordinates pickup, driver, and dock
  • Keeps every party on the same thread

Document handling

Paperwork read. Files in place.

Rate cons, BOLs, PODs, lumper receipts. Vic reads what comes in, files it against the right load, and gets the packet ready for billing without anyone re-keying it.

  • Reads and classifies inbound documents
  • Matches each file to its load
  • Assembles billing-ready packets

Escalations

The right calls reach you. Nothing else does.

Vic handles the routine queue on its own and escalates only what needs judgment, with the full context attached, so a dispatcher can decide in seconds instead of digging.

  • Routes to the right person on your team
  • Brings the full load context with it
  • Picks the thread back up once you decide

The difference is what happens after the alert

Generic automation stops at the alert. Vic works the load to done.

Loads covered, not just flagged

Most automation flags a late load, fires an alert, and waits for a person. Vic does the work: books the appointment, sends the update, and carries the task to done.

The measure isn't alerts sent. It's loads covered without a dispatcher ever touching them.

One operating layer, not ten tabs

Vic connects the portals, inboxes, phones, and systems behind every load, so work moves from tender to invoice without your team chasing every handoff.

Smarter after every shift

Generic tools reset with every prompt. Vic builds a working memory of your operation, so the more loads it handles, the faster it spots patterns and tees up the right next step.

Questions

What ops leaders ask first

Does Vic work with the systems we already run?
Yes. Vic connects to your TMS, telematics/ELD, telephony, and email through existing integrations and works inside them: reading positions and HOS, writing loads and assignments, and logging every action back where your team expects to find it. There's no new portal to adopt and no data migration.
How is this different from the automation we already have?
Rules and macros fire an alert and then wait for a person to act. Vic completes the task: it books the appointment, drafts the assignment, sends the update, builds the packet, and only escalates the calls that genuinely need judgment, with the full context attached. It's a teammate that does the work, not another notification in the queue.
What happens with edge cases and escalations?
You define the guardrails: what Vic handles on its own, what it must escalate, and who it routes to. Anything past those limits, like a rate concession above a threshold or an unusual exception, goes to the right person on your team with the load history and a recommendation. Once you decide, Vic carries out the action and updates the load.
How long until we're live?
Most teams connect their systems and start shadowing within the first couple of weeks, then expand coverage as trust builds. You stay in approval mode for as long as you want. Vic takes more of the routine queue only as you sign off on the patterns.
Is it secure, and can we audit what it does?
Every action Vic takes is logged on an audit trail tied to the load, with role-based controls over what it can do and SSO for access. Hyperscale maintains enterprise security and privacy practices. See Trust & Security for current certifications and details.
What hours and channels does it cover?
Around the clock, across the channels operations happens on: TMS, phone, SMS, and email. The overnight tender and the 2 a.m. exception get the same handling as the morning rush, and your team starts each shift with a clean board instead of a backlog.
Will this replace my ops team?
No. Vic takes the routine, repetitive queue so your dispatchers spend their time on the calls that actually need a person: the tough customer conversations, the judgment calls, the relationships. Teams use Vic to cover more freight without burning out the desk, not to shrink it.

Put Vic on the desk.

Bring your open board and your driver roster. We'll show you the loads Vic would cover, the work it would draft, and the exceptions it would catch, running as one always-on operations desk.
