Early adopter programme
Build your freight operating layer before the market catches up
FRAI helps freight teams connect quoting, planning, permits, scheduling, tracking, compliance and email based workflows around the systems they already use.
One shipment. One live reference. Less manual work across the operation.
- Works with your existing TMS and ERP
- Designed for live freight operations
- Deployment measured in weeks
- Built with operators, not around them
Freight teams are running modern shipments on fragmented tools
Most operations still run on a patchwork of TMS screens, email threads, spreadsheets, and shared drives. Every shipment means repeated admin: re-keying data, chasing documents, and coordinating handoffs between sales, planning, and compliance.
FRAI gives each shipment one live operational record. Quoting, planning, permits, scheduling, tracking, and compliance connect around your existing systems, so teams automate work without ripping out what already runs the business.
Where the savings usually come from
Early adopters typically see operational gains across quoting, admin, planning, and compliance. These are rough impact areas, not guaranteed financial returns.
Quote turnaround
Less time rebuilding quotes from emails, spreadsheets, and carrier portals.
Minutes saved per quote
Manual admin
Fewer repeated data entries and handoffs between sales, ops, and compliance.
Hours saved every week
Planning and scheduling
Clearer handovers between quoting, route planning, and dispatch.
Fewer planning errors and faster handovers
Compliance and documents
Documents and checks tied to the shipment record, not scattered inboxes.
Less rework and stronger compliance visibility
What you get as an early adopter
A structured programme for operators who want to shape the freight operating system, not just test another tool.
Full platform access
Quoting, planning, permits, scheduling, tracking, compliance, and email workflows in one operational layer.
Priority integrations
Dedicated support to connect FRAI with your TMS, ERP, and operational tools.

Direct input on product direction from operators running live freight every day.
Implementation support
Hands-on configuration and deployment with your team, measured in weeks.
Operational impact tracking

The impact we look for
During the programme we baseline and track operational improvements across key workflows, without spreadsheet ROI projections.
Quote preparation
Quotes rebuilt from emails and spreadsheets
Structured quote workflow with live shipment context
Email to operations
Manual triage and re-keying into systems
Inbound requests linked to the shipment record
Document checks
Documents scattered across inboxes and folders
Checks tied to each shipment with clear status
Planning readiness
Planning starts before ops has full context
Handover with route, permits, and assets in view
Compliance preparation
Compliance handled late or in separate tools
Requirements visible early in the shipment lifecycle
Management visibility
Status updates via calls and ad hoc reports
Live operational view across active shipments
Built for freight teams ready to modernise without ripping out their systems
The Early Adopter Programme is for operators who want a freight operating layer, not a wholesale system replacement.
Good fit
- Freight forwarders and hauliers running live shipments daily
- Teams juggling quoting, planning, or compliance across email and spreadsheets
- Operations already on a TMS or ERP that want automation around it
- Leadership ready to measure operational impact, not just buy software
- Teams willing to collaborate on deployment and product feedback
Not the right fit
- Looking for a full TMS replacement in week one
- Need guaranteed ROI figures before evaluating the platform
- No operational sponsor available for implementation
- Very low shipment volume with no plans to scale
How the programme works
A clear path from discovery to expanded automation, with your team involved at every stage.
Discovery
Map your workflows, systems, and where manual work slows the operation.
Configure
Connect integrations and configure FRAI around your existing stack.
Deploy
Go live on a focused set of workflows with your operations team.
Measure
Track operational impact against agreed baselines.
Expand
Roll out additional workflows across quoting, planning, and compliance.
Founding partner cohort
A small cohort for serious operators
We work with a limited group of freight operators, not an open beta. Early adopters get direct access to the FRAI team, priority on integrations, and a say in how the freight operating system evolves.
If your operation is ready to reduce manual work around every shipment, we would like to hear from you.
FAQ
Questions from freight operators
Straight answers about the Early Adopter Programme, deployment, and how FRAI works with your existing stack.
What is the Early Adopter Programme?
A structured programme for freight operators who want early access to FRAI. You get full platform access, priority integrations, implementation support, and a direct line to the product team. Commercial terms are discussed during the early adopter application process.
Is FRAI replacing our TMS or ERP?
No. FRAI is an operational layer that connects quoting, planning, permits, scheduling, tracking, compliance, and email-based workflows around the systems you already use. Your TMS and ERP stay in place.
How long does deployment take?
Most early adopter deployments are measured in weeks, not months. We start with a focused set of workflows, configure integrations to your stack, and expand from there with your team.
Which workflows can we start with?
Common starting points include quote automation, email-to-operations intake, document checks, heavy haulage planning, route permits, and compliance preparation. We agree priorities during discovery based on where manual work is highest.
Do we need clean data before starting?
No. FRAI is designed for live freight operations, not perfect data. We work with what you have today and improve structure as workflows go live.
Can FRAI connect to our existing systems?
Yes. FRAI integrates with major TMS and ERP platforms and connects to email, documents, and operational tools your team already uses. Priority integration support is included for early adopters.
How do you measure savings?
We track operational impact: time saved on quotes, reduction in manual admin, planning readiness, document rework, and management visibility. We focus on measurable workflow improvements rather than guaranteed financial returns.
What happens after the early adopter period?
Early adopters who continue with FRAI move to standard commercial terms agreed during the programme. Your integrations, configured workflows, and operational data remain in place. Commercial terms are discussed during the early adopter application process.
Ready to remove the manual work around every shipment?
FRAI is the freight operating system that connects quoting, planning, permits, scheduling, tracking, compliance, and email workflows around your TMS and ERP. One shipment, one live reference, with less manual work across the operation.
