# Freight broker SaaS

> TMS + load-board + carrier-management for freight brokers.

**Sector**: [Supply Chain](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/supply-chain)  
**Build cost**: One-quarter build  
**Deal velocity**: Steady — one deal per month

## Why now

Freight brokerage is fragmented. Most brokers use 4-5 tools poorly. The integrated wedge is open.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with load-board adapters, carrier-management libraries, and EDI / API integrations.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- Convoy adjacency
- Loadsmart shape
- Open-source freight-broker libraries

## What this displaces

DAT + a TMS from 2008 + spreadsheets.

## Our build-vs-invest call

Vertical SaaS. Fund only with freight-industry team. The moat is the integration + the workflow + the AI.

## Frequently asked

### Buyer?

Mid-market freight brokers.

### Pricing?
