Chain (www.trychain.com), the fast-growing freight tech startup delivering AI-powered freight broker software, announced a certified integration with McLeod Software, the industry leader in Transportation Management Systems (TMS) for freight brokers, carriers, and 3PLs. The new integration gives brokers real-time freight visibility, check call automation, and centralized communication, natively within McLeod's LoadMaster and PowerBroker.

Through McLeod's Certified Integration Partner program, Chain has completed the rigorous process required to ensure a seamless and secure connection between the two platforms.

 Brokers using McLeod can now use AI to automate check calls and manage exceptions with Chain.

"This partnership gives brokers access to modern AI-powered tools, right where they already work," said Annalise Sandhu, CEO and cofounder of Chain. "With automation, visibility, and carrier engagement built in, brokers can move faster, reduce manual work, and improve service across the board."

 Built specifically for brokers and 3PLs, Chain integrates directly with McLeod to streamline every step of the load lifecycle. Teams can track shipments in real time, automate exception alerts, and send milestone-triggered updates via email and SMS, all from one interface. On average, brokers using Chain reduce manual check calls by more than 85% within the first 30 days.
