Freight Technology at Platton
Platton runs a managed freight service, and we build the technology that powers it. The pages below cover the systems we use on every shipment: the cargo management platform, a warehouse management system, AI capabilities built into the workflow, and live cargo tracking that closes the loop from booking through delivery.
This stack is growing. As new technology earns a place in the operations workflow, it gets a page here and a place in the system your team logs into. Nothing on this page is sold as standalone software; it is part of the freight program
Technology built into the freight service
Four areas, all part of the same system and all included with your freight program. Each page below covers the detail and how that piece of the stack runs on your shipments
Cargo Management Platform
Bookings, documents, and PO-level status managed in a single view across every shipment
Warehouse Management System (WMS)
Inventory, receiving, and outbound flows integrated with your freight
on the same file
AI Integration
AI-assisted rate comparison, exception flagging, and document checks built into the workflow
Cargo Tracking
Live shipment tracking with milestones, ETA changes, and demurrage alerts in one dashboard
How Platton technology fits the service
Platton is a freight forwarder first. The technology exists to make that service accountable, and we keep building it because the same view that runs your shipments runs ours. AI-assisted checks catch document and rate issues before they reach the operations queue. Cargo management ties bookings, documents, and PO-level status into one file.
WMS connects the warehouse leg to the freight leg. Cargo tracking closes the loop with live milestones, ETA updates, and demurrage alerts on every shipment. There is no separate software subscription. Access comes with your freight program, and the stack grows as new capabilities earn their place in the workflow
