Freight Order Execution
Protect freight revenue and accelerate cash flow using the EDI transactions already flowing through Cleo.
Connect tenders, responses, shipment milestones, and invoices in one operating view—then focus your team on the freight exceptions that require action.
Inbound orders from a strategic shipper are below the recent pattern.
No qualifying status update has arrived within the expected window.
Delivery is recorded, but the corresponding invoice has not been detected.
Manage the tender-to-invoice journey from one execution view
See partner, route, pickup and delivery timing, tender confirmation, shipment tracking, and invoice status together—then filter directly to freight orders that are at risk or have missed a milestone.
Stop monitoring every load. Focus on the exceptions that threaten revenue.
TMS boards, spreadsheets, inboxes, driver messages, and EDI logs show pieces of the freight journey. Cleo connects those signals into an operational view your dispatch, customer service, and billing teams can use.
See the whole freight order
Connect the EDI 204, 990, 214, and 210 across tender, response, status, delivery, and invoice milestones.
Detect silent changes
Use historical activity and partner context to surface unexpected changes that can be easy to miss in standard operational queues.
Prioritize what matters
Help teams distinguish healthy loads from unanswered tenders, missing statuses, and delivered loads still awaiting an invoice.
Act with shared context
Give operations, customer service, billing, and IT one view of the partner activity and milestones behind each alert.
Protect expected freight. Protect completed revenue.
Freight Order Execution helps carriers investigate operational signals earlier—before a quiet change becomes a customer escalation or a delivered load remains unbilled.
Identify unexpected drops in freight orders
Learn the normal tender pattern for eligible partner activity and surface unexpected changes in inbound freight orders so account and operations teams know where to investigate.
- Compare expected and actual tender activity
- Spot partner- or lane-level changes earlier
- Protect time to investigate and respond
Prevent late invoices
Follow each freight order from pickup through delivery and identify completed loads that do not have a corresponding EDI 210 within the expected billing period.
- Surface delivered-but-not-invoiced loads
- Prioritize invoices approaching customer deadlines
- Reduce avoidable billing lag and cash-flow risk
Turn four familiar EDI transactions into an operating control loop

Know where to look before the customer tells you
Cleo brings historical EDI behavior, partner context, and connected milestones together to surface unusual activity. Instead of relying on static thresholds alone, teams can investigate the freight orders and invoice gaps most likely to need attention.
Signals are designed to guide investigation. They complement—not replace—your TMS, business rules, and team judgment.
"The ability to provide accurate data and process automation has led to increased efficiency and improved service levels while keeping costs down. It’s easy to see that our integration capabilities have become a differentiator."

Freight Order Execution questions
What is Freight Order Execution?
Freight Order Execution is a Cleo supply chain orchestration solution for carriers. It connects tender, response, status, delivery, and invoice transactions into a business-friendly view so teams can identify freight exceptions that require action.
Which EDI transactions does it use?
It connects common motor-carrier messages including the EDI 204 Motor Carrier Load Tender, EDI 990 Response to a Load Tender, EDI 214 Transportation Carrier Shipment Status Message, and EDI 210 Motor Carrier Freight Details and Invoice.
Does it replace my TMS?
No. Freight Order Execution complements an established TMS and the EDI flows already running through Cleo. It adds connected business context, proactive signals, and exception-focused workflows.
Who is it designed for?
It is designed for carrier operations that manage multiple shipper relationships, use an established TMS, and exchange consistent freight EDI transactions. Dispatch, operations, customer service, billing, and integration teams can share the same execution context.
Does a freight-volume alert prove that business was lost?
No. It is a signal for investigation based on available transaction history and configured context. It helps teams identify where to look earlier, but it does not guarantee that a shipper has reallocated freight.
Turn the freight data you already exchange into time to act.
See how Cleo can help your team protect expected freight, follow every load from tender to invoice, and focus on exceptions instead of watching every transaction.
