SaaS transportation management for SMB through large shippers to rate, book and track LTL, parcel and full-truckload freight.
About Kuebix TMS
Kuebix TMS is a SaaS transportation management system offered by FreightWise. Current Kuebix product materials position it for small, midmarket and large shippers and describe rating, booking, pickup scheduling, tracking and document workflows for LTL, parcel and full truckload. Reporting/invoice-data features and ERP/WMS/OMS and carrier connectivity are also described; the full current connection list and exact plan entitlements are not public.
The live Kuebix TMS page lists $69/month for one user/location and up to 100 rate quotes, $253/month for five users/locations and up to 400 quotes, and a sales-quoted larger tier. FreightWise's separate OnKue page describes an OnKue Basic two-month trial/$69 100-quote tier and higher quote tiers, while the shipper FAQ describes a separate full Kuebix license with unlimited quotes, users, locations and APIs. The public pages do not reconcile whether the $69/100 and $253/400 plans on the Kuebix-labeled page map to OnKue tiers or to current Kuebix SKUs. Kuebix's free Shipper offer is supported by a 2017 announcement only. Request a current written quote covering the product, plan, user/location/quote limits, trial, API access, support and fees. Historical free-tier announcements do not establish current availability.
Trimble's historical 2020/21 material described over 21,000/25,000 Kuebix shipping companies and separately cited its broader 1.3-million-truck network. These are not current Kuebix user or network counts. FreightWise acquired Kuebix in November 2023 after Trimble had announced an earlier sunset plan, and continues to market Kuebix in 2026. The reviewed current pages list LTL, parcel and truckload; do not promise air, ocean, current Community Load Match access or historic network scale without current written confirmation.

Transportation Management Systems capabilities to compare with your workflows.
Planning and multimodal execution
How shipments are rated, booked, and executed across documented Kuebix modes.
LTL, parcel, and truckload execution
(native):
Kuebix documents quoting, booking, pickup requests, and tracking for LTL, parcel, and full-truckload shipments.
Condition: Ocean and air execution are not documented on the current product page; intermodal is named on the homepage but should be demonstrated.
Route and consolidation optimization
(not verified):
Current materials support rapid rate retrieval and shipment planning but do not provide enough detail to verify route optimization, consolidation logic, or documented solver constraints.
Questions to test in a demo
Move one order through rate shopping, mode selection, booking, pickup scheduling, BOL creation, and tracking.
Show optimization and consolidation beyond rate retrieval, including supported constraints and any add-on or managed-service boundary.
Carrier, rate, and tender management
How users obtain rates, book carriers, and communicate with trading partners.
Carrier rating and booking
(native):
Kuebix documents requesting rates, booking freight, automated pickup requests, and access to a preferred-carrier program.
Condition: Preferred rates depend on program eligibility, and published plans impose quote limits below the large-shipper tier.
Formal tender fallback and bid management
(not verified):
The reviewed current page does not explain carrier acceptance, rejection, timeout, fallback, bid events, contract management, or scorecards.
Questions to test in a demo
Run a carrier offer through acceptance, rejection, timeout, fallback, and re-tender with a complete audit trail.
Import and version contract, preferred, spot, fuel, and accessorial rates, then show missing and expired-rate handling.
Shipment visibility and exception handling
How users track in-transit freight and respond to service failures.
Shipment tracking by documented mode
(native):
Kuebix documents in-transit and delivered visibility plus progress tracking for LTL, parcel, and truckload shipments.
Condition: The public page does not define event freshness, GPS or ETA coverage, proof-of-delivery detail, or carrier-data gaps.
Exception ownership and escalation
(not verified):
Appointment scheduling and carrier on-time measurement are documented, but alerts, assignment, escalation, and resolution workflows are not described.
Questions to test in a demo
Show a shipment timeline with data source, event latency, ETA, delivery proof, and missing-API behavior by mode.
Create a late pickup, delivery, or appointment exception and show alerts, ownership, escalation, and resolution history.
Freight audit and order-to-cash
How invoice data is checked and passed to financial systems.
Invoice-to-rate audit
(native):
A vendor product datasheet documents automatic carrier-invoice audit against the approved quote with exception claims for mismatches.
Condition: The detailed source is dated 2018; confirm that the function, applicable modes, and plan availability remain current.
Complete order-to-cash and payment execution
(not verified):
Current materials mention audit and invoice reporting, but do not verify customer receivables, collections, cash application, or direct carrier payment execution.
Questions to test in a demo
Match an invoice to a quote and test accessorial, duplicate, tax, and amount exceptions through dispute and ERP handoff.
Show whether Kuebix executes payment or only alerts and exports, and identify any customer billing or receivables support.
Configuration and connectivity
How Kuebix connects business systems and carriers and extends packaged behavior.
ERP, WMS, OMS, and carrier connectivity
(partner):
Kuebix documents public and prebuilt APIs, carrier web services, EDI, and tariff uploads for business-system and transportation-provider connections.
Condition: Public API access is listed for larger tiers; exact carrier coverage, authentication, limits, latency, cost, and implementation effort are not specified.
Detailed self-service administration
(not verified):
Add-ons and Premier Applications are documented, but the reviewed sources do not verify administration of rules, roles, statuses, documents, testing, and change governance without vendor services.
Questions to test in a demo
Onboard an ERP, WMS, OMS, and carrier connection and show schemas, retries, idempotency, monitoring, and error replay.
Separate packaged configuration, paid applications, and custom work, then show what administrators can safely change themselves.
Before you choose: Confirm which capabilities apply to your plan and setup, and ask about any listed conditions.
