Stop jumping between portals.

One container today means a terminal website, an appointment portal, a GPS app, an inbox and a spreadsheet. DrayTech does all of it from the shipment itself.

Auto appointments

DrayTech books, moves and cancels terminal appointments and gate passes for you — when a box releases, when a driver is assigned, or when the plan changes. The pin lands in the driver's app.

✓ Gate pass booked · 10:00–11:59
✓ Real truck plate swapped in on assignment
✓ Empty booked back to its terminal
◎

Auto tracing

Every container traced around the clock — discharge, availability, holds, fees, last free day, gate-out and empty return — straight from the terminals, with alerts before money is lost.

✓ Customs hold released → available
! LFD tomorrow · not yet dispatched
✓ Empty in-gated → leg closed
$

Holds & fees flagged

See which boxes have customs, line or terminal holds and which owe terminal fees — on the shipment, before dispatch — so no driver is sent to a box that can't come out. Fees you pay pass through to the customer's invoice.

! Line hold · not dispatched
✓ Fee due · flagged to the team
✓ Passed through on the invoice
AI dispatch

Every box ranked. Every truck explained.

DrayTech scores each container against your fleet — last free day, gates, holds, appointment windows, live GPS distance, chassis and dual-move pairing — and tells you why it chose each driver. You approve with one click.

Built around you

Every trucking company is different. Your TMS should be too.

We build modules around how you work — live in hours, not days or weeks. Tell us what you need in plain English — a customer report, a billing rule, a warehouse screen, a new integration — and it's built into your DrayTech, usually the same day.

9:05 AM
You ask

"Our customer wants a screen for their export cargo — receive inbound shipments, group them into outbound containers, attach photos."

10:30 AM
We build

Data model, screens, permissions and photo upload — inside your DrayTech, connected to your shipments.

1:45 PM
You use it

Live for your team, with read-only access for your customer if you want it. Changes after feedback take minutes.

Platform

From delivery order to paid invoice.

One connected system for the whole move — no re-typing containers between tools.

✉

Delivery orders read themselves

DOs arrive by email as PDFs, ZIPs or scans. The AI creates the shipment with every container, customer and reference, catches revisions and duplicates, and confirms back to the customer.

✓ DO_7781.pdf → 3 containers · import · Bayport → Baytown
✓ Revised DO detected → delivery updated
! Booking without quantity → flagged for a person, not guessed

GPS runs the board

Geofences move each leg on their own. Arrive/depart times become a GPS report you can attach to a detention bill.

⇄

Multi-leg, hub & street turns

Pre-pulls, yard storage, drop & hook, dual moves and street turns — with the right driver on each leg.

Billing that writes itself

  • Invoice drafts on delivery
  • FSC, chassis, pre-pull, storage, tolls
  • One invoice per multi-box DO
≡

Driver pay & accounting

  • Per-leg driver pay bills
  • AP, AR and general ledger
  • ACH with approval controls
▦

Warehouse & transload

Receiving, segregation, pallet counts and outbound loads tied to the containers they came from.

Ask the AI

"Which boxes hit LFD tomorrow?" "Book the empty back to Bayport." Answers from live data, acts with your approval.

Driver app · iOS & Android

Drivers get one button, not a manual.

Today's trip, the gate pin, the appointment window and directions — in the driver's own language: English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, French, Haitian Creole, Tagalog, Punjabi and Hindi. POD and EIR photos upload even with no signal, then sync when coverage returns.

Houston terminals, fully automated.

Connected directly to Port Houston's terminal system, DrayTech handles the terminal work end to end — your team only steps in for the exceptions.

◎

Live from the terminal

Every box checked every few minutes — discharge, availability, customs and line holds, last free day, gate-out and empty gate-in. Legs close themselves when the gate says so.

✓ Holds & LFD on the shipment
✓ Delivered / returned from gate records
✓ Chassis captured from the gate
⟳

Gate passes booked for you

When a driver starts a trip, DrayTech books the pickup gate pass. Expired or re-booked pins are caught and replaced, and the right pin is always on the driver's phone.

✓ Pickup pin on trip start
✓ Expired pins replaced
✓ Gate quota checked first
↺

Empty returns, routed right

Before any return pin, DrayTech checks gate restrictions, the daily empty-acceptance list and the line's notices — then books at the terminal that is taking the box, moves the return and tells the driver.

✓ Bayport vs Barbours Cut decided for you
✓ Line's depot when neither terminal takes it
✓ Driver notified of the new terminal

Not a demo. A fleet.

DrayTech was built and runs every day inside an operating drayage carrier in Houston and Oakland. Every rule in it came from a real container.

Security & control

Automation with a paper trail.

AI does the work; your people stay in charge. Every automated change is logged, attributable and reversible.

Role-based access

Dispatch, accounting, drivers and customers each see only what they should.

Full audit trail

Every edit — by a person or the AI — recorded with who, what and when. Finished shipments can't be silently reopened.

Payments under approval

Only authorized users can release payments. Amounts are confirmed and logged first.

Backups you can restore

Snapshots every 15 minutes to separate storage, with restores tested — not assumed.

Code-based sign-in

One-time email codes for the web app, SMS codes for drivers. No shared passwords.

Your data stays yours

Your terminal logins are used only for your own moves; your shipments, rates and customers are never shared.

Get started
