Freight pours in from every direction — emails, load boards, EDI feeds, phone calls. Sorting it all out takes hours. By the time you’ve copied, pasted, filtered, and priced, the good loads are gone. Opportunity Manager powered by Cortex AI changes that. It captures, scores, and ranks incoming freight automatically, so your team always sees the smartest freight first.
The Challenge
In today’s market, speed and precision are everything. But dispatchers and carrier sales teams are buried in noise — multiple systems, unstructured emails, and gut-feel decisions. Valuable loads slip through the cracks while lower-margin freight eats up driver time and bandwidth.
The Fix: Smarter Freight Intake
Opportunity Manager acts as your digital intake hub — automatically collecting freight offers from every source and transforming them into ranked, ready-to-move opportunities inside PCS TMS.
Here’s what it does automatically:
- Captures every inbound load from email, EDI, and load boards — no manual retyping.
- Uses AI-driven scoring to evaluate each load by your business priorities: rate per mile, lane fit, customer quality, and driver availability.
- Sorts and ranks freight in real time, so your team can book high-value loads before competitors even respond.
It’s like giving your dispatch and sales teams radar vision — one screen, one source of truth, no guesswork.
From Gut Feel to Guided Decision
Instead of chasing whatever lands first in the inbox, Cortex ranks freight using live profitability logic. Every recommendation includes a breakdown of why it scored high — margin, distance, service level, and driver match. Dispatchers stay in command but move twice as fast with better information.
Search It Like You Talk
Forget filters and dropdowns. Type or say what you need:
“Show loads over $3 a mile from Houston next Tuesday.”
“Find reefer freight under 400 miles with delivery by Friday.”
Cortex’s natural language engine understands and responds instantly, giving dispatchers answers — not screens.
From Quote to Dispatch — Seamlessly
Once a load is chosen, Opportunity Manager moves it through the quoting and booking workflow automatically. No more rekeying details or losing track between inbox and dispatch board. It’s one continuous path from opportunity to load creation.
Why It Matters
- Book more freight, faster, and at better margins
- Free dispatchers from hours of manual sorting and re-entry
- Focus on profitable customers, not just available ones
- Prevent missed opportunities by surfacing the right loads first
- Keep every opportunity visible and tracked from start to finish

“Our dispatchers don’t have to juggle small tasks anymore. Cortex gives us solid recommendations and lets us move more loads without the back-and-forth.”

Part of the Cortex Family
Opportunity Manager is part of the Cortex Intelligence built into PCS TMS. It works in sync with Dispatch and Backhaul Booster — finding the right freight on the front end, moving it fast, and keeping trucks loaded on the way back.
No bolt-ons. No extra steps. Just smarter freight decisions inside the system your team already trusts.
