Rate cons become loads. Automatically.
Upload a rate con or tender PDF and ZuzHQ builds the load record in your dispatch board — no typing, no copy-paste, no delay. Dispatchers approve, not re-enter.
What is AI Load Building?
Traditional TMS requires a dispatcher to manually enter every field from a rate con: pickup, delivery, rate, accessorials, equipment type. That's 15–25 minutes per load, multiplied by every load you run. AI load building reads the document and does the entry for you.
From a document, into your TMS
Upload the rate con as a PDF, scan, or photo. The AI reads it with OCR and extracts pickup and delivery details, rates, accessorials, and equipment requirements — then creates a structured load record in your dispatch board, ready for review.
Exceptions only, not everything
When a field is missing or ambiguous, ZuzHQ flags it for dispatcher review before the load is created. You confirm the fields against the source document side by side — review, not re-entry.
Part of the platform, not a bolt-on
Loads built from rate cons flow straight into dispatch, tracking, invoicing, and driver settlements. One record from first upload to final payment — no re-entry at any step.
Everything your dispatch team stops doing manually
ZuzHQ load building handles extraction, validation, and the dispatch handoff — so your team handles the exceptions, not the routine.
Rate Con & PDF Extraction
Upload a rate con or tender PDF. ZuzHQ extracts pickup location, delivery, appointment times, rate, accessorials, and equipment type automatically.
BOL, POD & Invoice Extraction
The same document engine reads BOLs at pickup, PODs at delivery, and vendor invoices — so the whole freight cycle runs on extracted data, not typing.
Field-Level Review Flags
When a required field is missing or unclear, ZuzHQ flags it for review before the load is created — catching errors before they become billing disputes.
Side-by-Side Confirmation
Extracted fields appear next to the source document so your dispatcher can confirm or correct in seconds before the load hits the board.
Direct Dispatch Handoff
Approved loads flow straight to the dispatch board. Driver assignment, ELD pairing, and customer updates all start from the same record.
Email Intake — Coming Soon
In development: forward tender emails straight to ZuzHQ and an agent builds the load for review. Clearly labeled coming soon — today, intake is upload-based.
Built to eliminate what slows your team down
Before
Dispatchers spend 20+ minutes per load copying data from rate cons
After ZuzHQ
ZuzHQ reads the document and builds the load in under 2 minutes — dispatchers review, not re-enter.
Before
Copy-paste errors cause wrong pickup times, missed rates, and billing disputes
After ZuzHQ
AI extraction flags missing or unclear fields for review before the load is created.
Before
Every broker's rate con looks different
After ZuzHQ
The AI reads varied layouts — typed, scanned, or photographed — into one consistent load record.
Before
Load data gets re-typed at dispatch, invoicing, and settlement
After ZuzHQ
One extracted record flows through dispatch, invoicing, and settlements. Enter nothing twice.
What changes when ZuzHQ handles load building.
15–25 minutes of manual typing per rate con. Copy-paste into the TMS, one field at a time.
AI extracts every field automatically. Load created in under 2 minutes. Dispatcher reviews, not re-enters.
Every broker's rate con looks different — each one is a fresh manual decoding job.
The AI reads varied layouts, scans, and photos into the same structured load record.
Dispatcher finds a missing field at dispatch time — has to call the shipper mid-load.
ZuzHQ flags missing fields before the load is created. No surprises at dispatch.
Copy-paste errors cause wrong pickup times, missed rates, and billing disputes.
Every extracted field is confirmed side by side with the source document before the load hits the board.
Common questions
What formats can ZuzHQ load building handle?
PDF rate confirmations and tender documents, including scans and photos. Drop the file in and the AI extracts the fields with OCR. If your team receives it as a document, ZuzHQ can read it.
What happens when information is missing or unclear?
ZuzHQ flags the specific fields that need review and queues the load for dispatcher attention. Clean documents take seconds to approve; edge cases get a human with the extracted fields pre-populated.
Does it integrate with the rest of the ZuzHQ TMS?
Yes — load building is part of the ZuzHQ platform. Loads created from rate cons flow directly to dispatch, ELD tracking, invoicing, and driver settlements without any re-entry.
Can it handle multi-stop loads?
Yes. ZuzHQ handles multi-stop rate cons and extracts all stop details, appointment windows, and per-stop rates into a single structured load.
How long does it take to set up?
Most carriers build their first AI-extracted load on day one. There's no model training on your end — upload a rate con and the extraction is live.
