About Parade

Parade is an AI-powered capacity management platform specifically engineered for freight brokers to modernize their operations and drive efficiency. By acting as a central hub for carrier engagement and sourcing, the tool helps brokerages transform manual, time-consuming workflows into streamlined digital processes. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing Transportation Management Systems (TMS) to capture capacity signals that are often lost in emails or phone calls, enabling carrier sales teams to cover more loads in less time while maintaining high-quality relationships. The core of the platform is CoDriver, an AI-native engagement tool that automatically handles inbound communications from carriers. It can manage both email and phone interactions, qualifying potential carrier fits, capturing quotes, and syncing structured data directly into Parade and the broker's TMS. Beyond communication, the platform features capacity intelligence tools like "AutoAssign" and "Cascade," which allow brokers to automate the coverage of recurring lanes based on historical performance and carrier preferences. This multi-layered approach ensures that high-value human reps can focus on complex negotiations rather than administrative data entry. Parade is ideal for mid-sized to enterprise-level freight brokerages looking to scale their volume without significantly increasing their headcount. The system is particularly beneficial for carrier sales representatives who need to manage large volumes of inbound inquiries and for brokerage leadership seeking to reduce "one-and-done" carrier interactions. By providing a unified capacity workbench, the tool allows teams to see live truck availability from both within their private network and across external partner load boards, ensuring maximum visibility for every load. What sets Parade apart from standard load-matching tools is its focus on "capacity intelligence" and its proprietary AI-native freight distribution protocol. Unlike platforms that simply list freight, Parade analyzes behavioral signals—such as carrier search patterns and historical booking data—to predict the best carrier for any given load. With features like the Advantage module, brokers can price freight based on their own unique network data rather than relying solely on volatile market benchmarks, effectively protecting their margins while improving service levels for shippers.

Parade FAQs

Does Parade co-op data to make matches and help find more carriers?

Parade sources capacity from your existing network using signals like truck lists and search behavior. It also syndicates loads to partners like DAT, collecting quotes from new carriers to build future profiles.

Does using Parade mean my reps won’t be working the phones anymore?

The platform is designed to increase bandwidth, not replace reps. It automates qualifying fit and capturing quotes so reps can focus on strategic negotiations and relationship building.

How does Parade handle available truck emails?

Parade’s AI parses inbound emails to extract capacity data, which is then synced into the platform. This allows reps to access live capacity signals from their inbox without manual entry.

Can I choose which loads get posted to load boards?

Yes, brokers have full control over which loads are syndicated to external partner networks. When posted, your company remains the broker of record on those platforms.

How does CoDriver Voice adoption work for new users?

CoDriver Voice supports a staged approach where you choose the level of engagement. You can start with simple load qualification and gradually move to AI-driven negotiation as you get comfortable.
