ShipmentVisibility

Pallet Tracking Software for LTL Shipments

Follow every pallet shipment from your dock to the consignee in one list, see missed appointments and delays before the customer does, and stop opening a carrier site per PRO number.

Public pricing, no contract, self-serve checkout.

The demo detects the mode and carrier where the format allows. Live tracking events appear after you create your account.

Pallet tracking software for LTL shipments follows each pallet load by its carrier PRO number, from pickup through terminal scans to delivery, and flags the ones that slip. ShipmentVisibility puts every carrier in one exception-first list, so a shipper with 20 to 500 pallet shipments a week knows which deliveries are late before the receiving dock or the customer calls. It tracks freight in transit, not pallets inside your warehouse.

What one missed pallet appointment costs a brand

Pallet freight is slow to fail and expensive to fix. A pallet that misses its window is rebooked days out, not hours.

Take a worked example with assumed figures. A brand ships 12 pallets to a retail distribution center, delivery booked for Tuesday at 10:00. The carrier holds the load at a terminal for a day and the pallets arrive Wednesday. The retailer refuses the late delivery, the next appointment is eight days out and the carrier charges redelivery. If the retailer fine is $300 and redelivery is $150, one missed slot costs about $450 before the lost sales of eight empty shelf days. Your own fines and fees will differ, so put your own numbers in. A plan at $149 a month pays for itself the first time you catch the delay on Monday and rebook the slot.

Look at the few that moved

Most pallet shipments are on time. The useful list puts the handful that moved or stalled at the top. For a single lookup use LTL tracking, and to see how carriers differ read carrier on-time performance.

Pallet shipment tracking features for shippers

Each feature is tagged with the plan that includes it on the pricing page.

One list for every PRO number

Paste or upload PRO numbers from XPO, Estes, Old Dominion, Saia, R+L, ABF and more. The carrier is detected where the format allows and every pallet shipment lands in one list.

Appointment and delay flags

Shipments with a moved delivery date, a stalled terminal scan or a missed appointment sit at the top, so you rebook the dock slot before the retailer fines you.

Reference per shipment

Attach a PO, store number or customer reference to each shipment and search by it. Pallet counts and weights go in the notes field.

Branded status page

Send customers or retail buyers a link with the live status instead of answering where-is-my-pallet emails. Available from Growth.

CSV upload and API

Load a week of bills of lading from a spreadsheet. Pro adds REST API and webhooks so your shipping system can push PRO numbers automatically.

Alerts where you work

Email on every plan, Slack and webhook alerts on Growth and higher, so a late pallet reaches the person who can fix it.

How a shipper follows pallets from one list

  1. Add the PRO numbers. Paste them, upload a CSV from your shipping system or push them through the API on Pro.
  2. Confirm the carrier. The detected carrier is shown next to each number. Correct any that the format could not settle.
  3. Start with the exceptions. Late, stalled and moved deliveries are at the top. Call the carrier or the consignee about those only.
  4. Close out at delivery. Delivered pallets leave the active list with the proof of delivery status.

Mixed freight is common, so the same list also holds parcel and ocean. See LTL tracking software for carrier coverage and delivery exception management software for the exception view.

Who buys pallet tracking software

Replenishing a 3PL, a retailer distribution center or an Amazon fulfillment network means appointments and chargebacks. Track each pallet shipment and know when one will miss its slot.

Wholesalers and distributors

Dozens of outbound pallets a day, each with a customer waiting. One list replaces opening five carrier sites and answering status calls.

Manufacturers shipping finished goods

Follow outbound LTL to customers across carriers and flag late deliveries before the customer calls your account manager.

Small 3PLs and fulfillment centers

Track pallets for several clients with separate lists and a branded status page. Sub-accounts are on Pro.

Pallet tracking questions

What is pallet tracking software for LTL shipments?

It follows each pallet shipment by the carrier PRO number or bill of lading from pickup through terminals to delivery, and shows the status and appointment in one list. It tracks freight between locations. It does not track pallets inside your warehouse, which is the job of a warehouse management system.

Does it track pallets inside my warehouse?

No. ShipmentVisibility follows shipments while a carrier moves them, using PRO numbers, container numbers and other carrier references. Bin locations, license plates and pallet counts inside four walls belong in a WMS. We cover the part after the pallet leaves your dock.

Can I track pallets sent to Amazon or retail distribution centers?

Yes, when you have the carrier PRO number or tracking reference. You see pickup, terminal scans, out for delivery and proof of delivery in one list, so you can spot a missed appointment and rebook it before the receiving window closes.

How much does pallet tracking software cost?

ShipmentVisibility starts at $49 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly, with 100 LTL, parcel, FTL and air shipments on Starter. Growth is $149, Pro $499 and Enterprise $1,499 a month. Every plan has self-serve checkout and no contract.
