Dispatch board
Jobs, repeating contracts and multi-leg loops on one board. Drag, tap, done — no phone tag.
Built by a Hawke's Bay cartage operator
From pre-check to paid — without a single piece of paper.
Cartage Core runs your jobs, drivers, trucks, dockets and invoices from one board. Dispatch with a tap, capture every load with a photo, and bill from the same numbers you already trusted on the weighbridge.

What Cartage Core replaces
Paper dockets
Whiteboards & pin boards
Spreadsheets
Phone-tag dispatching
Manual invoicing
One platform
The whole run, in one place
Built for 3–50 trucks. If it happens between the pre-check and the paid invoice, it happens in Cartage Core.
Per-load capture
Drivers log tonnage and snap the docket. GPS-timestamped, in under 30 seconds.
Live fleet map
EROAD telematics on a live map. Know when a truck lands on site before the driver climbs out.
Billing engine
Per tonne, load, hour or day — with FAF and per-client rates. Draft invoices flow to Xero.
How it works
From the yard to the invoice, the same numbers all the way through
One record follows every load from pre-check to paid. Nothing gets re-typed, nothing gets lost between the cab and the office.
-
1
Pre-check
Driver completes the daily pre-check in the app. Odometer autofills, defects get a photo.
-
2
Load captured
Tonnage plus docket photo recorded on site, GPS-timestamped the moment it happens.
-
3
Billed automatically
The engine prices the load against the client's rate — per tonne, load, hour or day.
-
4
Reconciled & paid
Draft invoices land in Xero, supplier bills match to loads, subcontractor statements print alongside.
The dispatch board
Every job, every truck, every dollar — one screen
What used to live on the whiteboard now lives on a board that updates itself.

For you, your office and your customers.
These are product facts, not customer statistics — we don't invent volumes. When you have real numbers, this is where they'll go.
Dispatch
Plan the day in minutes, not on the phone
Set the day up once, then let the board do the talking. Every load has a truck, every truck has a job, and everyone can see it.
Repeating contracts
Standing jobs set once — same site, same rate, every day.
Multi-leg loops
A site day — quarry to job, dump, and back — planned as one trip.
Pinned locations
Quarries, pits and sites saved — no typos in the address line.
Drag-and-drop
Reschedule a truck without a single phone call.

Billing
Bill from what happened, not what you remember
The load record is the invoice. No end-of-month docket pile, no "who did that load belong to" arguments, no chasing the weighbridge ticket.
Per tonne, load, hour, day
Price every load the way the client actually pays.
FAF fuel adjustment
Fuel adjustment factor applied automatically to the rates that need it.
Per-client rates
Every client's rate card stored — no more digging through emails.
Xero draft invoices
Account codes and per-vehicle tracking set, drafts waiting in Xero.

Our story
Built by an operator. Not by a software company.
A decade running tipper trucks out of Hawke's Bay taught us exactly what a TMS has to do — and what it should never make you do. So we built the one we always wanted.

We won't invent testimonials or put real company names up as customers. These cards are placeholders — drop in genuine quotes when you have them.
