BeyondTrucks vs Gravitate

Comparing the pros and cons of each software

BeyondTrucks and Gravitate are both modern systems with transportation management capabilities, but they aim at different scopes. Gravitate is purpose-built for refined-fuel distribution whose primary strength is in fuel inventory management optimization supported by some transportation management functionality. BeyondTrucks is 100% dedicated to transportation management, and is focused on enabling smart decisionmaking in complex, mission critical fleets through capabilities such as native AI optimization.

MISSION-CRITICAL

MISSION-CRITICAL

Built for fleets that differentiate with specialized transportation services and run complex planning or demanding driver workflows too critical to outsource.

If you are a transportation company hauling fuel and potentially other commodities, or a very large fuel distributor with separate inventory optimization capabilities who needs a best of breed transportation management system, BeyondTrucks is a good fit.

Purpose-built for refined-fuel distribution: fuel retailers and wholesalers. Best fit for those who hold fuel inventories.

If you want to optimize purchasing of inventory and transportation is somewhat secondary, Gravitate may be a good fit.

NATIVE AI

NATIVE AI

AI optimization assigns the best driver, tractor and trailer to each load and re-optimizes instantly when plans change. Native AI coding agents (RateAgents) turn plain-language rate rules into working code. AI-powered, intelligent text extraction automates order entry and BOL processing for invoicing.

Which one fits your operation?

BeyondTrucks

You are a fuel transportation company and don’t purchase and hold fuel inventory to sell.

You are a very large fuel distributor and want to handle your pricing and inventory optimization in separate, best-of-breed solutions, rather than one platform.

You run a multi-product fleet beyond just fuel: bulk, chemical, hazmat, oil & gas, construction, food, agricultural, manufacturing or distribution fleets and want one platform across multiple complex verticals rather than a single-vertical tool.

You want native AI transportation assignment optimization and rate coding agents that reach beyond fuel workflows.

You compete on service and specialization across a diverse or specialized fleet.

Gravitate

Your operation is purely refined-fuel distribution and you hold fuel inventory to optimize.

You need deep fuel-retailer connectivity (Crossroads) and petroleum-specific workflows like rack changes, runouts and allocations.

Your growth is entirely within the fuel and convenience-retail ecosystem.
