The gap
Ops teams find out last.
Your TMS records what happened. It does not tell you what is about to happen. By the time a status flips, the money is already spent.
- 16:12:04 INC-8814 The tender on LAX → PHX expired at 4:12pm You saw it at 9:40 the next morning. The carrier had already covered someone else’s load and your shipper rate went spot. Missed tender $8,400
- 02:37:19 INC-4471 A trailer sat eleven hours at gate 4 No exception fired, because nothing failed. It just stopped. Detention started billing at hour two and nobody was paged. Silent dwell $5,120
- 09:04:52 INC-2208 Spot drifted 14% across three lanes Not in one jump — in forty small ones. The invoice found it in April. The pattern had been visible since January. Cost creep $61,900
- 09:41:07 INC-3390 The same three signals, run through Helion Tender re-issued at minute 41. Dwell paged at hour one. The lane repriced the week the spread opened, not the quarter after. Caught early $0
One month, one desk. $75,420 found after the fact — and every line of it was visible in the data hours before it cost anything.
Platform
The command deck.
One screen for the whole board. Exceptions ranked by dollars at risk, a re-plan you can read in four seconds, and the cost line underneath it.

Every lane is priced against what you actually paid on it — that week, that equipment, that carrier — and every alert carries the dollar figure it is protecting. Rolling 90 days, one Midwest desk.
How it works
From TMS to autopilot.
No rip-and-replace. Helion reads what you already have, learns the shape of your network, then starts doing the boring half of the job.
-
STEP 01
Connect your TMS
Read-only keys, EDI 214 and 990 feeds, or an SFTP drop if that is what you have. Nothing is written back until you switch it on.
-
STEP 02
Helion learns your lanes
Fourteen days of history is enough to model dwell by facility, tender behaviour by carrier, and where your ETAs quietly lie.
-
STEP 03
Autopilot quotes, books, reroutes
You set the guardrails — spend ceiling, approved carriers, which customers never get touched. Helion works inside them and pages you when it cannot.
The network
Twelve months, measured.
Across 61 shippers on the Helion network. Rolling twelve months to 30 June 2026.
Integrations
It plugs into what you already run.
If it emits a status, Helion can read it. If it takes a booking, Helion can write to it.

What the desk says
We cut a dispatcher’s morning from ninety minutes of tab-hopping to one screen. In week three it caught a rail delay eleven hours before the carrier told us — we re-tendered 22 loads before anyone downstream noticed.
