NativeEDI: Built Into Your TMS

Every Load Tendered, Tracked, and Invoiced. Automatically.

Native EDI built directly into your TMS, with no outside patchwork, so you can accept loads, send status updates, and deliver invoices without manual steps, VAN fees, or separate systems to manage.

The Most Trusted Logistics Solution

Auto-Accept in Seconds

Loads are accepted 24/7 based on rules you set. Your team wakes up to confirmed loads, not an inbox to clear.

15-Minute Milestone Updates

Geofenced triggers send 214 shipment status updates automatically, every 15 minutes, on every load.

Same-Day Invoice Delivery

210 invoices are transmitted automatically when proof of delivery is confirmed. No billing queue. No delay.

No VAN. No Per-Transaction Fees.

Direct SFTP, AS2, and FTP connections eliminate third-party intermediaries and the costs that come with them.

Why Native Matters

Built Into Your TMS. Not Bolted On.

Most TMS platforms treat EDI as an afterthought: a third-party add-on that introduces cost, latency, and a separate system to manage. LoadStop's EDI is part of the core platform, so every transaction, every rule, and every error is handled from one place.

Traditional EDI (VAN / Third-Party)

  • Per-transaction and per-character fees that compound as volume grows
  • A separate system, separate login, and separate support queue
  • EDI mapping updates require a change order to an outside vendor
  • Errors surface only after bad data reaches your TMS and disrupts operations
  • Adding a new shipper takes weeks and requires external coordination
  • Load data must be re-keyed or synced into your TMS after EDI processing

LoadStop Native EDI

  • Flat pricing with zero per-transaction or per-character message fees
  • EDI embedded in the same system where loads are dispatched and invoiced
  • Configuration changes made directly in LoadStop, applied immediately
  • Data validation happens before a load enters your workflow, not after
  • New shipper connections added in-house, typically live within 48 to 72 hours
  • Load records are created automatically from the 204, no re-entry, ever

How It Works

From Tender to Payment. Fully Automated.

This is the complete lifecycle of a load processed through LoadStop's Native EDI. Every step happens automatically. No re-entry. No manual handoffs.

01204

Tender Received

A shipper sends a 204 load tender. LoadStop captures it instantly through a direct SFTP, AS2, or FTP connection. No manual checking, no email.

Rules Evaluated

Configured criteria are checked immediately: lane, equipment type, weight, rate, and time of day. No dispatcher is involved in this step.

Response Transmitted

An acceptance or rejection is sent back to the shipper in seconds. If auto-accept is on, this happens without any human action.

Invoice Delivered

On POD confirmation, a 210 invoice is transmitted directly to the shipper. The cash cycle starts the moment freight is delivered.

Automated Load Acceptance

Never Miss a Load. Even at 2 AM.

LoadStop receives incoming 204 load tenders and responds with a 990 acceptance automatically, based on rules your team defines. Dispatchers start each day with confirmed loads already in the system, not a queue of pending tenders to work through.

  • Enable auto-accept for individual shippers or all vendors at once, no manual steps required.
  • Configure acceptance rules by lane, equipment type, weight class, and rate threshold.
  • Never miss a load during off-hours. LoadStop monitors incoming 204s and responds 24/7.
  • Connect via SFTP, AS2, or FTP directly to any shipper system without third-party software.

Real-Time Visibility

Your Shippers See Every Milestone. Automatically.

LoadStop's 214 shipment status updates are triggered by GPS geofence events, not manual driver check-ins. Every key milestone is transmitted precisely, without adding a single task to your dispatch team or requiring any action from the driver.

  • Geofenced triggers send 214 status updates automatically at each location, no driver action required.
  • Updates are delivered every 15 minutes in transit so shippers always have accurate ETAs.
  • All milestone data flows through the same direct connection, keeping your stack simple.
  • Fewer shipper check-in calls and fewer disputes, because the data arrives before anyone asks.

Who It Works For

EDI Built for Every Role in the Freight Transaction

LoadStop's Native EDI is purpose-built for the operational reality of carriers, brokers, and shippers, not a generic data pipe layered on top of your workflow.

Carriers

Win better freight. Get paid the same day.

EDI compliance directly affects how shippers score and allocate freight. Carriers who respond faster, update consistently, and invoice cleanly get preferred status on better lanes.

  • Auto-accept tenders without a single click, improve response speed and shipper scores.
  • Automated 214 milestone updates keep shippers satisfied with zero dispatcher overhead.
  • Same-day 210 invoice delivery on POD confirmation compresses your cash cycle significantly.
  • Better scorecard performance opens access to preferred freight at better rates.

Brokers & 3PLs

Move more volume without adding headcount.

At high load volumes, manual data entry and EDI errors become the ceiling on growth. Native EDI removes that ceiling by eliminating re-entry and handling exchange at any scale.

  • Process hundreds of loads per month through automated tender, status, and invoice exchange.
  • Keep shippers and carriers aligned with real-time milestone visibility through one connection.
  • Eliminate manual check calls, duplicate data entry, and mismatched records between systems.
  • Add new shipper connections as business grows without scaling your operations team.

Shippers

Automate tendering. Get structured delivery data.

Manual coordination with carriers introduces delays, inconsistent updates, and invoice disputes. Native EDI standardizes every exchange so your data is clean and your supply chain runs on schedule.

  • Automate 204 tender issuance and receive 990 responses in seconds, not hours.
  • Receive structured, geofenced 214 status updates without chasing carriers for updates.
  • Reduce invoice discrepancies with clean 210 data matched directly against your records.
  • Onboard new carrier partners quickly through standardized EDI configurations.
