AT A GLANCE

Dimension

BeyondTrucks

Magnus

Best-fit operations

MISSON-CRITICAL

Built for asset-based fleets that compete on service and specialization across bulk, chemical, hazmat, oil & gas, construction, food, agricultural, manufacturing or distribution, and run complex planning or demanding driver workflows too critical to outsource.

TRUCKLOAD/LTL AND CAR-HAUL

Cloud TMS for truckload and LTL carriers and brokers (10 to 500+ trucks), with roots in finished-vehicle and car-haul logistics

Core focus

SPECIALIZED OPS

Functional depth for helping to digitize, automate, and optimize bulk, chemical, hazmat, oil & gas, construction, food, agricultural, manufacturing or distribution fleets

CAR-HAUL / GENERIC TL

Strongest in finished-vehicle and car-haul, and in generic truckload and LTL

AI applications

NATIVE AI

AI optimization helps assign the best driver, tractor and trailer to each load and re-optimizes instantly when plans change. Native AI coding agents help build working code in the platform to increase configurability. AI-powered, intelligent text extraction automates order entry and BOL processing for invoicing.

SIMPLE RULES-BASED MATCHING

Load module matches drivers to loads using rule-based logic for hours-of-service, home time and maintenance; not native AI optimization or coding agents
