Partial Shipments Pay for Space They Do Not Use
A 3PL sees freight from many shippers headed in the same direction, and most of it still moves load by load, because building a consolidated multi-stop plan by hand takes longer than the window allows. Each partial shipment that rides alone pays for empty space on the truck.
Consolidation Plans Built From Every Shipper’s Freight at Once
The optimizer will look across shipments from multiple shippers, group the ones that fit by lane, timing, equipment and stop sequence, and propose multi-stop loads for your planners to approve. Consolidation that runs itself is part of EKA’s 2027 direction, and the 2026 release will propose plans for your team to confirm.
A 3PL already sees the freight that could share a truck. The optimizer will build the load.
How It Will Work
Cross-Shipper View
Will look at shipments from multiple shippers together.
Fit Grouping
Will group shipments by lane, timing, equipment and capacity.
Stop Sequencing
Will order the pickups and deliveries for each consolidated load.
Planner Approval
Will send each proposed load to your team to confirm.
Consolidation on the Same Record as the Route
Consolidated loads will move directly into Route AI for planning and On-Time AI for monitoring, so a multi-stop load gets the same service-level tracking as every other load on the platform.
Why We Built It This Way
Built in the Right Order
EKA built the infrastructure first and the optimizers second, so nothing gets ripped out when the next agent ships.
One Record, Three Seats
The same infrastructure serves carriers, brokers and shippers, because the load crosses all three and the handoff is where freight breaks.
Earned, Not Read About
The team spent decades operating freight across trucking, brokerage, freight payment, risk and insurance, which is why the agents handle the 40% of edge cases that break other AI.
Live in 2 to 8 Weeks
EKA goes live in 2 to 8 weeks against a legacy implementation of three to six months, and new agents ship on 8-week cycles.
You Do Not Have to Replace Your TMS
EKA is headless and API-first. Starting in Q1 2027, the Load Consolidation Optimizer will deliver its work into the system you already run. EKA goes live in 2 to 8 weeks, on the records you already have.
Talk to Us About the APIWhat It Will Change for Each Seat
Carriers and private fleets
Multi-stop loads will arrive planned and sequenced, ready for dispatch.
Brokers and 3PLs
3PLs will move more of their shippers’ freight on fewer trucks.
Shippers
Your freight will be able to share a truck on the lanes where that makes sense, with the same on-time tracking.
