Towhub Car Hauling Platform
Simplifying auto transport with seamless load posting and real-time tracking.
Business Problem
The auto transport industry in the U.S. has long depended on platforms like Central Dispatch and Super Dispatch, but both present major limitations:
- Central Dispatch: While it dominates as a load board, it is outdated, lacks automation, and provides little real-time transparency.
- Super Dispatch: Introduced modern tools like digital BOLs and carrier apps, but still leaves gaps in automation, AI-driven matching, and unified collaboration.
The result is inefficiency, high operational risks (fraud, payment issues), and wasted time for carriers, brokers, and shippers who struggle to coordinate.
Our Approach
Towhub was created to combine the strengths of Central Dispatch’s load board and Super Dispatch’s workflow automation, while going beyond both with advanced functionality:
- AI-powered load matching – instantly connects carriers with the most relevant loads.
- Unified platform for carriers, brokers, and shippers to post, book, and manage loads.
- Driver mobile app with real-time GPS tracking, digital paperwork, and push notifications.
- Smart payments with built-in fraud prevention and driver protection.
- Collaboration features to streamline broker–carrier communication with messaging and notifications.
- Scalable microservices architecture for speed, security, and future growth.
Challenges
- Building trust in a market dominated by Central Dispatch.
- Ensuring real-time GPS tracking accuracy across regions and networks.
- Creating a simple, intuitive UX despite the complexity of logistics workflows.
- Designing role-based permissions so each party (carrier, broker, shipper) sees only relevant data.
- Guaranteeing payment security for drivers while keeping transactions fast and transparent.
Impact
- Faster load booking with AI-driven recommendations.
- Reduced fraud and cargo theft with payment guarantees and GPS monitoring.
- Better collaboration among brokers, carriers, and shippers in one ecosystem.
- Improved efficiency by automating posting, booking, and driver updates.
- Adoption-ready with a mobile-first design that makes onboarding easier for carriers and drivers.
Reflection
Towhub demonstrates how innovation can transform the auto transport industry. By combining the load board dominance of Central Dispatch, the modern tools of Super Dispatch, and new AI-driven automation, Towhub sets a higher standard for transparency, security, and operational efficiency. The project highlights Aimit’s expertise in solving real-world logistics challenges through custom-built digital platforms.
