● Monitor ETAs in real time, resolve route exceptions before they escalate, and keep shippers updated without being asked.

● Upsell new lanes, request referrals, and convert first-time shippers into loyal, recurring revenue.

● Update CRM/TMS and review BI dashboards for margin drift, carrier trends, and performance insights, then act on the data.
