ROI Calculator — self-serve savings estimate with PDF report

Prospects can now calculate their ROI at /tools/roi-calculator without talking to sales. Five inputs, live chart showing monthly/annual/3-yr savings vs. current TMS cost, and a 2-page branded PDF report emailed on submit.

Read more

The calculator uses TMS-specific benchmarks to estimate time savings, error reduction, and carrier rate improvements. High-value leads (≥10 seats or white-label interest) trigger an immediate God Mode alert.

Admin dashboard: /admin/roi-calculator (stats tiles, by-TMS breakdown, conversion-to-demo rate, CSV export).

AI Employee interactive demos: 7 split-pane walkthroughs

Each AI employee (Hatch, Dash, Mark, Lena, Rex, Shield, Knox) has a public demo at /ai-employees/{name}/demo. Split-pane layout shows chat on the left and a live mock HatchOS screen on the right. 7–8 scripted steps with "Why this matters" tooltips.

AI Readiness Audit: interactive 12-question scorecard with PDF

Free tool at /tools/ai-audit scores freight brokerages across 8 operational dimensions. Generates a 2-page branded PDF, auto-emails results, and enrolls respondents in a 4-touch nurture sequence.

Partner program: reseller and referral tiers

Formal partner program at /partners with Referral, Reseller, and Strategic tiers. 11-field application form with auto-reply and inline approve/screen/reject from God Mode. Active partner dashboard with commission tracking.

Integrations catalog: 32 integrations with roadmap voting

Public catalog at /integrations lists 32 integrations across 9 categories. Six are live (DAT, Truckstop, QuickBooks, FMCSA SAFER, Postmark, M365). Roadmap integrations support email-gated upvoting. Most Requested top-5 auto-highlights.

Book-a-demo scheduler: self-serve demo booking with lead nurture

Prospects pick a slot, fill in context, and get a calendar invite. No back-and-forth emails. Unbooked leads automatically enter a 3-touch nurture sequence.

Read more

What shipped: /book-demo — public 3-step scheduler (contact → slot picker → confirm). HMAC-signed prefill links from marketing emails so prospects don't re-enter their info. Unbooked leads get a +24h, +72h, and +7-day follow-up sequence. Booked leads are suppressed from nurture immediately.

God Mode admin: /admin/leads funnel dashboard with source breakdown and nurture stats.

Status page live — public uptime monitoring at /status

Six platform components monitored every 60 seconds: web app, database, background jobs, email delivery, file storage, and auth. Public at /status with sparklines, 90-day uptime %, auto-refresh, and email subscribe.

Read more

Each component shows current status (green/amber/red), latency, a 90-day uptime sparkline, and a running incident feed. Operators manage incidents from /admin/status.

Machine-readable: GET /status.json. Email subscribers get incident notifications and resolution updates.

Blog: content publishing for freight ops insights

Public blog at /blog with category filtering, RSS feed, and Article schema markup. First posts cover freight broker automation, carrier vetting, and factoring ROI.

Comparison pages: HatchOS vs Turvo, MercuryGate, AscendTMS

Three SSR comparison pages at /vs/turvo, /vs/mercurygate, and /vs/ascendtms. Each has a 24-row feature table, pricing block at 15 seats, FAQ accordion, and JSON-LD structured data. All three are indexed at 0.9 sitemap priority.

Pricing page live — see our Starter, Growth & Scale plans

The public pricing page is live at /pricing. Three tiers (Starter $199 / Growth $249 / Scale $299/seat/mo), white-label add-ons, annual toggle, and a self-serve ROI calculator CTA. Annual discount calculator shows real savings.

Read more

Pricing was the last blocker for self-serve signups. Starter is ideal for solo operators; Growth unlocks analytics and commission automation; Scale is for multi-office operations with advanced reporting.

Annual pricing: 2 months free on any tier.

Pricing calculator: self-serve ROI estimates with PDF delivery

Prospects can now get a personalized ROI report without talking to sales first. Enter seat count, shipment volume, and current TMS — get a 3-page branded PDF in their inbox within 60 seconds.

Read more

Why it works: Freight brokers are skeptical of software promises. Showing a dollar figure tied to their actual volume is more credible than a generic ROI claim.

What shipped: Inline form on /pricing, 3-page PDFKit report with platform-specific projections, Polsia email delivery, and operator alert for high-value leads.

Deep-link: /pricing.

Custom domains: run HatchOS at your own URL

Point your company's domain at HatchOS. hatchwaytrade.net is live. Your tenants can bring their own hostnames — full CNAME provisioning, SSL, and automatic state machine.

Read more

The workflow: Add your domain in Settings → Custom Domains. Point your CNAME. HatchOS verifies DNS, provisions SSL via Render, and activates your domain — all automatically, with email alerts at each step.

What shipped: Full state machine (pending_dns → dns_verified → provisioning → active), a CNAME/TXT copy UI, Recheck DNS button (60s cooldown), and God Mode panel showing all domains by status.

Deep-link: /admin/domains.

Bootcamp: in-app training for new dispatchers

New hires get a structured learning path instead of "just watch someone for a week." Modules cover dispatch workflow, carrier relations, and compliance basics — with a sandbox to practice on real-looking data.

Read more

Why it matters: Onboarding time is a direct cost. The longer a new dispatcher takes to become productive, the more senior time gets burned on oversight.

What shipped: Training modules with progress tracking, a knowledge quiz at the end of each module, and a per-tenant sandbox that mirrors production data without touching live records.

Deep-link: /training.

AI Employees: autonomous agents for dispatch, CRM, and compliance

Meet your new team members — they work nights, weekends, and never call in sick. Six AI employees now handle carrier compliance, rate monitoring, CRM follow-ups, and more.

Read more

The problem with freight ops: High-volume tasks like carrier cert expiry checks, load board monitoring, and account follow-up drain human bandwidth without generating margin.

What shipped: Six AI employees (Dash, Mark, Lena, Shield, Rex, Knox) each own a specific domain. They run on a schedule, surface findings to your dashboard, and hand off exceptions to your human team.

Deep-link: /ai-employees.

Document Center: centralized PDF storage and templates

Stop hunting email attachments. Every BOL, rate confirmation, and carrier packet now lives in one place — searchable, versioned, and downloadable in seconds.

Read more

Before: Dispatchers emailed PDFs back and forth, versions got lost, carriers asked for documents that already existed somewhere in an inbox thread.

After: The Document Center gives every shipment a permanent document drawer. Drag-and-drop upload, template generation (BOL, rate con), and full audit history of who touched what and when.

Deep-link: /documents.
