The tender 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.

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.
A trailer sat 11 hours at gate 4
No exception fired, because nothing failed. It just stopped. Detention started billing at hour two and nobody was paged.
Silent dwellSpot drifted 14% on three lanes
Not in one jump — in forty small ones. The invoice found it in April. The pattern had been visible since January.

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.

The queue sorts itself by money
Every alert carries a dollar figure: detention clock, missed slot, rebooking spread. Your desk works top-down instead of newest-first.
Every re-plan ships with its diff
New ETA, new carrier, cost delta, what it protects. If it clears your guardrails Helion books it and tells you after.
2,841 lanes it has already paid for
Helion quotes against what you actually paid on that lane, that week, that equipment — not a national average.
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.

It plugs into what you already run.

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.
