Frequently asked questions
PCS McLeod scores D+ on the API Report Card. REST APIs exist for Digital Freight Matching, Symphony mobile comms, and Quick-Quote, with an Innovation Hub portal for key requests. Every deployment is a per-customer hosted instance: the full service list comes from a rep, key approval is gated, and there are no SDKs.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
McLeod Software builds Transportation Management Systems (TMS) for the trucking and logistics industry. Its flagship products are LoadMaster (truckload and LTL carriers) and PowerBroker (freight brokers and 3PLs), plus MPact analytics and RespondAI.
Fleet / Trucking / Logistics, Typically for truckload and LTL carriers, freight brokers, 3PLs, and private fleets (often mid-market to enterprise). Carriers and brokers manage the full freight lifecycle, quoting, order entry, dispatch, driver/asset tracking, accounting/settlements, safety, and EDI, in one system, often deployed on-prem or in McLeod-hosted instances.
40+ years in business, 1,200+ companies on the platform, 570+ employees, 140+ certified partners, ~30% annual R&D reinvestment. Widely regarded as one of the most popular and comprehensive TMS platforms for enterprise carriers; strong G2/Capterra/TrustRadius footprint.
Yes, Freight orders, dispatch, loads, driver/asset records, accounting/settlements, safety, and EDI transactions. This is the carrier/broker's operational and financial system of record.
~40+ years old (Birmingham, AL). Powerful but legacy-feeling; modernizing with a new web UI, AI (RespondAI), and an Innovation Hub developer portal, but core deployments remain on-prem/hosted-instance and dated in appearance.
Full API/service list only available via a McLeod representative; custom APIs built per-customer. Integration requires significant effort; per-instance hosting complicates connectivity. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Trimble (TMW), Toro TMS, Tailwind / Aljex (Descartes), TruckMate (Trimble), Turvo. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial PCS McLeod API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write PCS McLeod data. See the PCS McLeod integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/pcs-mcleod-api.
