Your TMS should behave like an asset that compounding value flows through, not a software cost that needs defending every budget cycle. Turvo earns that status by removing manual work at scale, lifting booked loads per coordinator, and turning live data into faster decisions. For executive leadership, that translates into three things that matter to the board: controllable operating expense, expandable revenue capacity, and a short, visible path to payback.
A strategic lever, not a line item
Turvo unifies rating, tendering, tracking, documents, messaging, and billing in one live timeline. Coordinators stop swivel chairing between portals and spreadsheets. Arrivals and departures post from geofences. Proof of delivery sits next to the bill of lading. Invoices generate the moment a stop clears. Predictive signals push risky loads to the top of the queue, which keeps service levels intact while reducing firefighting. The outcome is the same team covering more freight with fewer touches, and leaders who can redirect time toward high-value work like recovery playbooks, customer expansion, and carrier strategy. Because finance and operations read the same event stream, performance improvements show up in KPIs everyone trusts.
ROI snapshots you can take to the board
These scenarios are illustrative and conservative. Swap in your volumes and labor rates to create your own snapshot in minutes.
Mid-market growth plan
Volume: 1,500 loads per month.
Per-load time saved: about 9 minutes through one-step tendering, automated status, inline docs, and instant invoicing.
Hours freed: ~225 per month. At a fully loaded labor rate of $45/hour, that’s about $10,125/month and ~$121,500 in year one.
Capacity lift: booked loads per coordinator rises from 180 to 210 per month, about 17%. With 10 coordinators, that is ~300 incremental loads monthly. At $50 gross profit per load, that is $15,000/month, ~$180,000/year.
Year-one impact: ~301,500 dollars, before counting fewer write-offs and faster cash application.
Enterprise scale-up
Volume: 5,000 loads per month.
Per-load time saved: about 8 minutes.
Hours freed: ~667 per month. Savings: ~$30,000/month, ~$360,000/year.
Capacity lift: +12% equals ~600 additional loads per month. At $60 gross profit per load, that is ~$36,000/month, ~$432,000/year.
Year-one impact: ~$792,000 dollars, with headroom to grow without parallel hiring.
Regional accelerator
Volume: 600 loads per month.
Per-load time saved: about 10 minutes.
Hours freed: ~100 per month. Savings: ~$4,500/month, ~$54,000/year.
Capacity lift: +15% equals ~90 additional loads per month. At 40 dollars gross profit per load, that is ~$3,600/month, ~$43,200/year.
Year-one impact: ~$97,200, typically pushed past six figures by peak season.
These gains come from redeploying time, not reducing headcount. Teams use the time to protect SLAs, grow wallet share, and launch services faster.
What changes in the P&L
Operating expense drops where manual touches once hid. Coordinators spend less time on rate lookups, check calls, and document chase. Finance moves from line-by-line audits to exception review. Cash arrives sooner because clean invoices go out the moment proof of delivery hits the timeline. Revenue capacity expands because each coordinator books more freight without quality slipping. Gross margin improves when predictive guidance reduces detention and failed appointments. Retention stabilizes because the workday is calmer and success is measurable.
How Turvo de-risks the investment
Time to value matters. Turvo is cloud-based, so there is no hardware to procure and no weekend cutovers to babysit. API-first connectivity and managed EDI reduce custom code and fragile file drops. Sandbox tenants let your team test mappings before go-live. Role-based self service allows ops to manage routing rules, customer profiles, and notifications inside guardrails set by IT, which cuts ticket volume and accelerates change. You can roll out by book of business or region, prove the ROI with a clean baseline, and expand with confidence.
Executive takeaway
Turvo is a strategic investment that pays for itself with visible, defensible results. You get more booked loads from the same team, fewer low-value touches per shipment, faster time to cash, and KPIs that tie directly to the income statement. Bring these ROI snapshots to your next leadership review, plug in your numbers, and set a payback target you can hit.
