# Hayes GlobalFlow

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/563049/Hayes-GlobalFlow

> Hayes GlobalFlow is the operating system for modern freight forwarders, shipping agencies, and trucking companies. It replaces the WhatsApp groups, email threads, and spreadsheets that most small and mid-size freight operations still run on,  and puts the entire operation in one platform.

Who its for:

Freight forwarders, clearing agents, and trucking companies with 2 to 50 staff. Companies that have outgrown informal tools but aren't served by enterprise TMS platforms that cost thousands per month and take six months to implement. Setup takes a day, not a quarter.

Shipment Management:

Every shipment moves through a ten-stage workflow from booking to delivery, with documents, notes, and history attached to the record. A custom workflow builder lets you match your own operational stages. A spreadsheet-style manifest view is available for teams that prefer working in bulk.

Fleet and Dispatch: 

Watch every truck on a live GPS map with geofencing. Assign drivers and vehicles to jobs in a couple of taps, and the driver is notified automatically. Fleet Intelligence runs eight anomaly checks including speeding, extended stops, excessive idling, fuel drops, driver fatigue, geofence violations, route deviation, and overdue maintenance. Route efficiency is scored per trip against the optimal path.

The Driver App:

Drivers get a purpose-built mobile experience: a map-first view of their active job, navigation handoff to their phone's maps app, status advance with geofence verification, proof-of-delivery photo capture, fuel logging with receipt scanning, and issue reporting that notifies dispatch immediately.

Customer Visibility:

Every shipment and delivery generates a tracking link customers open on any phone with no login required. They see live GPS position, current status, and a traffic-aware arrival estimate. Automatic email and WhatsApp notifications fire at each milestone, so nobody has to call and ask where their cargo is.

Finance:

Generate quotes in twelve currencies, invoice directly from completed jobs, and track expenses across twenty-one categories linked to specific shipments for real per-shipment profitability. A dual-approval payment system validates every payment request against shipment data before funds are released, with AI anomaly detection on receipts and off-hours or duplicate submissions flagged automatically.

AI That Saves Time:

Photograph a bill of lading, commercial invoice, or receipt and the data extracts itself for your review. An AI email inbox classifies incoming customer messages and drafts replies using live shipment data. A built-in assistant answers questions about the platform and walks users through tasks, respecting each person's role and permissions.

Built for Real Operations Conditions:
Available as a web app, a native Windows desktop application with offline access to cached data for low-connectivity environments, and native iOS and Android apps. Full English and Chinese language support. Four-role access control so each person sees only what their job requires, with an immutable audit trail across every action.

Load Board:

US carriers can search available freight loads inside the platform, compare rates against market averages, verify broker authority against FMCSA records, and convert a load into a dispatched job in one click.

What We Deliberately don't Build:

Hayes GlobalFlow is not an enterprise TMS. There is no automated RFP tendering for shippers managing hundreds of carriers, no warehouse management system with bin-location tracking, no multi-stop delivery route optimization for last-mile fleets, and no certified ELD replacement, keep your existing compliance hardware. That focus is why implementation takes a day and plans start at $99 per month.

Origin:

Hayes GlobalFlow was built by a founder who watched his family's freight forwarding company in Tema, Ghana run an entire operation on WhatsApp and spreadsheets. It is used today by freight companies in Ghana and the US.
