About Parade

Parade is a freight management platform from Dray Technologies that helps find and manage carriers to boost margins. It combines precise pricing, improved bidding, and shipper connectivity so users can effectively manage their logistics operations. The platform provides tools that facilitate collaboration between shippers and carriers, enabling better decision-making and cost efficiency. Parade also includes features for tracking shipments and performance analytics, allowing users to make data-driven choices. Key capabilities: carrier management pricing improvement bidding solutions performance tracking shipment visibility Best for: logistics managers and companies that need to efficiently manage carrier relationships and improve profitability.

Parade is an AI-driven capacity management platform designed to help freight brokerages and 3PLs streamline how they source, engage, and book carriers, and it stands out for the way it automates much of the repetitive communication that slows down traditional brokerage work. The system captures carrier emails, calls, and quotes automatically, organizes them in one place, and turns them into actionable capacity that brokers can actually use rather than losing valuable leads in inbox clutter. Its capacity intelligence engine analyzes carrier history, availability signals, preferences, and past performance to recommend the best carrier for each load, which helps brokers rely less on external load boards and more on trusted, repeat partners. Parade also supports automated load offers, digital booking, dynamic sourcing and rate management, allowing teams to move freight faster with fewer manual steps. For brokerages with high daily load volumes, this leads to more loads covered, quicker turnaround, and reduced operational overhead. The platform integrates smoothly with most TMS systems, which means companies can enhance their current workflows without abandoning what they already use.
