What is Spark — and Why Should You Care?

Spark is the free version of TMS.ai, Rose Rocket’s industry-leading TMS. It’s built for brokers and carriers who need to stay organized, move fast, and ditch manual work — without the headaches of clunky tools.

Here’s what makes Spark different:

• Free: No trial, no time limit, no credit card.

• AI-Powered: Meet Rosie, your AI assistant who helps answer questions, pull up info, and keep freight moving.

• Instantly Useful: Go from sign-up to first load in minutes — not hours.

If you’re still relying on spreadsheets or stuck with a TMS that slows you down, Spark is your upgrade.

Step 1: Create Your First Order

You can’t run freight until your first load is in the system. Good news — TMS.ai makes that easy.

✅ Option 1: Use Databot (Fastest)

Simply upload or email all your rate confirmation screenshots or PDFs at once — our scanner will automatically enter these orders for you.

• Process quotes or orders in bulk 

• No address retyping

• Just done

✍️ Option 2: Manual Entry

Prefer to enter it yourself? Go for it.

Add a customer, enter pickup and delivery details, then input your rate or quote. You’re in control.

Step 2: Use Rosie (your built-in AI assistant)

Meet Rosie — your new dispatch assistant, right inside TMS.ai.

Rosie lives inside every order and can:

• Answer questions like “What’s the delivery status?” or “Show me orders with late pickups”
• Make updates on your behalf
• Help you get faster insights without digging through tabs

Rosie gets better the more you use TMS.ai, so don’t be shy — start chatting with her right away.

Step 3: Stay organized with Boards

Think of Boards as your digital whiteboard — but smarter.

Boards help you track quotes, orders, trips, tasks — whatever you want to see and manage. You can:

• Set up lists for “Unassigned,” “Dispatched,” “Delivered” — or however your workflow runs
• Drag and drop orders between lists
• Add filters to see just what you need (e.g., customer-specific views)

👉 Learn how to customize Boards

Boards are flexible and powerful. Once you start using them, you’ll never want to go back to spreadsheets.

Step 4: Share live tracking updates with customers

Your customers always want updates. You’re probably spending way too much time replying to “Where’s my load?” emails.

TMS.ai fixes that.

With Track & Trace, you can share live views of your Boards with customers — so they can check statuses anytime, without calling you.

1. No more copy-pasting updates.
2. No more formatting custom emails.
3. Just share a link and move on with your day.
