McLeod Software has unveiled Version 8 of its LoadMaster and PowerBroker enterprise software products. LoadMaster is McLeod Software’s flagship management solution for private and for-hire fleets, while PowerBroker is the company’s

software solution for non-asset-based brokerage and logistics providers.
Based extensively on customer input, the upgraded versions of the two products share many enhanced features to help carriers reduce administration time, increase productivity and provide greater levels of customer service. Several of these features were specifically developed to address unique challenges in the refrigerated carrier segment. The new robust capabilities include a feature that expands the visibility of order billing and payment detail; new screens that enhance the tracking of over, short and damaged (OS&D) reports and appointment confirmations; expedient automation of garnishment and claims processing, as well as the ability to automate a wider variety of fuel surcharge scenarios.
Additionally, LoadMaster’s Version 8 offers a new temperature warning system, while PowerBroker’s Version 8 now interfaces with Transcore’s Carrierwatch to validate carriers.
