The problem

Spreadsheets, inboxes, and phone calls are not a TMS.

Transportation operations run across spreadsheets, inboxes, phone calls, PDFs, disconnected accounting tools, and manual status updates. As shipment volume grows, teams lose visibility into what's active, what's late, what needs documents, and what's ready to invoice.

Kaporeal TMS brings those workflows into one operational system — without locking you into closed software you can't inspect or extend.

Capabilities

A modular foundation for transportation operations.

All features
MVP

Load Management

Create and manage loads from quote to close with customers, carriers, drivers, stops, references, and documents.

MVP

Dispatch Board

A live operational view of every load — status columns, dispatcher assignment, filters, and exception alerts.

Customers, contacts, billing terms, shipment history, and portal-ready data model.

In Progress

Document Management

Future

Invoicing & Settlement

Validate documents, invoice customers, settle carriers, and export to accounting systems.

Future

Operations Analytics

Volume, on-time performance, carrier scoring, lane margin, and dispatch activity reporting.

Open source

Your operations should not be locked inside a closed platform.

Transportation businesses are rarely identical. Kaporeal is open source so teams can inspect the code, self-host the system, build custom modules, integrate with internal tools, and shape the platform around their real workflows.

No vendor lock-in

Own your data, your deployment, your roadmap.

API-first

Every workflow is built on inspectable APIs.

Modular

Adopt modules incrementally — start with dispatch.

Self-hosted

Docker-first deployment with a managed option later.

Workflow

Quote to close — modeled on real transportation operations.

Every load follows a real lifecycle. Kaporeal tracks each stage with events, documents, and exceptions so nothing falls between dispatchers, drivers, and accounting.
