CanTrace Farms – Transport Connect X

Description

The All-in-One Logistics Platform Built for Livestock Transport (COMING-SOON)

 

Transport Connect X is not just a digital logbook; it is a complete operational ecosystem designed specifically for the unique challenges of hauling live animals. Integrated directly into the CanTrace Farms ecosystem, it bridges the gap between dispatch, drivers, and regulatory agencies, ensuring you move animals efficiently, safely, and in full compliance with Canadian regulations (CCIA, ATQ, and CFIA).

From visual load planning to automated “Transfer of Care” documentation, Transport Connect X replaces paperwork with precision.

Core Features & Capabilities

 

🚛 Smart Load Planning & Management

 

Stop guessing capacity. Our advanced Visual Load Planner brings a drag-and-drop interface to your dispatch screen.

• Pen-Level Logic: Visually distribute animals into specific trailer compartments (Nose, Deck, Belly/Pot, Doghouse).

• Safety First: Automatic compatibility checks warn you if incompatible animals (e.g., Bulls vs. Heifers) are placed adjacently without separation.

• Split-Load Mastery: Easily manage multi-pick and multi-drop trips. The system tracks exactly which tag IDs belong to which owner, ensuring the correct animals get off at the correct stop.

• Weight & Density Alerts: Get instant notifications if a compartment exceeds weight limits based on animal density guidelines.

⏱️ Automated Compliance (FWR & TOC)

 

Navigate the complex “Health of Animals Regulations” without the stress.

• FWR Stop-Clock: Our intelligent timer starts counting from the producer’s “Last Fed” time, not just when you leave the driveway. It alerts drivers at 2-hour and 1-hour intervals before feed, water, and rest limits (36h for cattle, 12h for compromised) expire.

• Digital Transfer of Care (TOC): Generate legally compliant TOC documents instantly upon arrival. Drivers and receivers can “sign on glass,” capturing the date, time, and animal condition (Fit/Compromised/Dead) to officially stop the liability clock.

• Offline-First Architecture: Rural routes often mean zero signal. Transport Connect X works fully offline, syncing your FWR timers, manifests, and logs automatically when connectivity returns.

🛡️ Biosecurity & Chain of Custody

 

Protect your fleet and your customers with industry-leading biosecurity tools.

• Dirty/Clean Status Tracker: The system flags trailers as “Restricted” or “Dirty” after hauling high-risk loads (e.g., slaughter pigs), preventing them from being dispatched to high-biosecurity farms until a washout is logged.

• Washout Station Finder: A dedicated map layer shows livestock-specific truck washes with critical metadata: Does it have hot water? Is it fresh or recycled? Does it accept Pot-Belly trailers?

• Verification: Upload washout receipts directly to the app to instantly reset a trailer’s status to “Clean.”

📍 Real-Time Fleet Visibility

 

Empower your dispatch team and assist your drivers.

• Live Tracking: Dispatchers see real-time truck locations on a map, while drivers get one-click navigation with destination addresses pre-loaded.

• Digital Manifests: Drivers receive full shipment details (Producer info, Animal Counts, License Plates) directly on their devices—no more crumpled paper.

💼 Business Intelligence & Admin

 

Turn your transport data into actionable business insights.

• Digital Scale Tickets (OCR): Drivers can snap a photo of a paper weight ticket at the scale. Our Optical Character Recognition (OCR) automatically extracts the weight and updates the digital manifest and invoice.

• Expense Management: Capture and categorize receipts (Fuel, Wash, Repairs) on the go for cleaner accounting.

• Tag Reconciliation: Scan and report replaced tags or lost tags directly in the app to maintain full traceability compliance.
