BLAM8

For hauliers · couriers · pallet operations

"6 pallets to Leeds, Friday?" — answered, priced, and on a van.

Small-fleet transport gets booked by email, and answering it is a full-time job someone's doing between everything else. BLAM8 reads the order out of the message — pallets, weight, date — checks real capacity on real vans, and replies in your company's voice with a booking your fleet can actually carry. Your customers never hear about vehicles; they just hear "yes, Friday's fine."

From email to booked van

01

The order is read, not re-keyed

Pallet types, weight and date come straight out of the text — half and quarter pallets counted properly. No forms, no portal your customers won't use.

02

Best-fit onto a real vehicle

An atomic check of remaining pallet spaces and legal payload, per van, per day — the smallest vehicle with room wins, so the big vans stay free for big orders. No room? It offers the nearest dates that work.

03

Approved, confirmed, carried through

Approving sends the reply and confirms the hold. The job is priced off your rate card, lands on the fleet board and the calendar, gets a customer tracking link, and comes back as a POD on the driver's run sheet — then an invoice.

What Field OS · Transport runs

Capacity that can't lie

Pallet spaces and legal payload per vehicle per day — even two orders in the same second can't overload a truck.

Routing & load planner

Plan the day's drops and loads against the same diary the agent books into — every screen live off one source of truth.

Rate-card pricing

Jobs priced from your own rates in the reply itself — quoted while the customer is still reading, not after they've rung a competitor.

Driver run sheet & PODs

Drivers work a mobile run sheet and capture proof of delivery on the job — no paperwork chasing at the end of the week.

Tracking & fleet board

Customers get a live tracking link; you get a board showing every van's load for the day.

Invoicing & compliance watch

Delivered jobs become PDF invoices; driver hours and vehicle MOT, tax and service dates are watched in the background.

Founding partners · honest small print

The core runs today — but every haulier plans loads and watches compliance a little differently, and the module is early. Our first logistics operators join as founding partners: show us how you actually run your fleet and we build Field OS · Transport around it — roadmap priorities on your say-so, a direct line to the team, and founding terms that stay with you.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a TMS for small hauliers that handles the order emails too?+

Yes — BLAM8 starts at the inbox, which is where small-fleet transport actually gets booked. The order is read straight out of the email, checked against real per-van capacity, booked best-fit, and confirmed in your company's voice — or offered the nearest dates that work.

Can it really not double-book or overload a vehicle?+

Every booking is an atomic check against remaining pallet spaces and legal payload, per van, per day — even two orders arriving in the same second can't overload a truck. The agent never guesses capacity.

What does it cost?+

From £39/month. Starter (£39) covers replies in your voice and live-diary booking; Pro (£99) adds the self-filling CRM, more volume, extra mailboxes and priority support. Free 14-day trial of the full Pro product, no card to start. The full fleet tooling is founding-partner access via hello@blam8.com.

Is the TMS finished?+

The core is live and booking real loads, but it's early and being tailored with real operators — that's the founding-partner deal: you show us how you run your fleet, we build Field OS · Transport around it, and your founding terms stay with you.
