Quick answer
ALCA Software builds dispatch software, AI document processing and customer shipment portals for logistics, freight, trucking and import/export companies in Miami and South Florida — automating shipment intake, freight documents, invoice data extraction and delivery status updates.
Why logistics is a document and coordination problem
Freight and import/export move on paper: BOLs, PODs, commercial invoices, customs forms and rate confirmations — most of them re-keyed by hand into a TMS or spreadsheet. Add dispatch coordination, status calls from customers and exception handling, and the back office becomes the bottleneck. Miami’s role as a trade gateway makes this acute for local operators.
What we build for logistics companies
Coordinate loads, drivers and carriers on one board with the status and assignments your team needs at a glance.
AI reads BOLs, invoices and freight documents, extracts the data and pushes it into your systems instead of someone typing it.
Pull line items, amounts and references off invoices and confirmations to speed up billing and reduce keying errors.
Automatically sort and route incoming documents to the right shipment and the right person.
Let customers check status, see documents and get proactive updates — cutting “where’s my freight?” calls.
Show confirmed delivery events, delayed updates and exceptions with an accountable owner and a visible refresh time.
AI where it actually pays off
The clearest ROI in logistics is taking the manual document work — reading, classifying, extracting, re-entering — off your team. We build AI document pipelines around your real paperwork and connect them to your TMS, accounting and customer portal, so the same shipment data isn’t typed three times.
Separate an order view from a freight-shipment view
Freight tracking, TMS records and shipment documents remain the specialist shipment-portal scope. A customer order that spans preparation, several lines and multiple shipments needs an order-level summary with clear quantities and freshness. Recurring operational reports can preserve those records for a defined review period.
Follow the load, its documents and the customer update
In an illustrative freight workflow, dispatch confirms the load assignment, operations matches incoming BOL or POD evidence to the shipment, and the portal publishes only authorized milestones and documents. Delivery, receipt of a POD and readiness for billing remain separate states. A missing document creates an owned exception; it does not silently become a completed handoff.
Define what a customer can see and how fresh it is
Check the TMS and carrier portal first. A combined view may help when customers need an authorized picture across systems, but each feed has its own access, event cadence and document permissions. Show the last confirmed update and a contact for exceptions. A carrier status feed does not automatically authorize document downloads or promise a live location.

Frequently asked questions
Can AI really read messy freight documents accurately?
Extraction accuracy depends on the document mix, image quality and fields being read. We design pipelines with confidence checks and human review for low-confidence cases, and review shipment matching and required business evidence independently of model confidence. Measure errors on representative documents before expanding automation.
Do you integrate with our TMS?
Where your TMS offers an API or import, yes — we push extracted data and status into it. Where it’s closed, we automate around it and are upfront about the constraints.
What’s the best first project for a freight company?
Usually either document-processing automation (if paperwork is the bottleneck) or a customer shipment portal (if status calls are eating your team’s day). We compare the current queue, native tools and access limits to choose a measurable first scope.
