In the modern logistics landscape, flexibility and scalability are key to success—especially in the final mile. Many logistics providers rely on agent networks to extend their reach and enhance service levels without the burden of fixed infrastructure. But building a winning agent network isn’t as simple as hiring more drivers or contractors. Without the right systems in place, managing independent agents can quickly become a logistical challenge in itself.
The Challenge of Managing Agent Networks
Agent networks can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, they offer the ability to expand coverage and meet regional delivery needs cost-effectively. On the other, they introduce complexity: different regions, varying pay structures, and unique operational practices all need to be managed consistently.
Traditional approaches to agent management often involve multiple disconnected systems, requiring agents to learn different platforms for each client or region they serve. This fragmented setup leads to inefficiencies, data silos, and unnecessary manual work—slowing down your operation and frustrating your team.

FreightOps was designed to simplify the complexity of agent networks by providing a single platform that brings all your agent management tools together in one place. From order management and shipment tracking to driver pay and performance monitoring, FreightOps delivers the tools you need to build a winning agent network—without the tech headaches.
Centralized Platform for Seamless Management
With FreightOps, agents have one login and one system to access all the shipments they’re responsible for. This means no more juggling multiple portals or dealing with inconsistent workflows across regions. Every shipment movement—from receiving to final delivery—is tracked and recorded in real time, providing a complete chain of custody and ensuring transparency across your network.
Flexible Driver Settlements and Pay Rules
One of the most common pain points in agent networks is driver pay. FreightOps eliminates one-size-fits-all approaches with flexible driver settlements that allow you to define pay structures by region, role, or contract. Accessorial charges, mileage-based pay, and custom billing rules can all be configured to match your unique needs.
