Be easier to find wherever buyers start looking.

Commtrex gives logistics providers a stronger digital presence inside and outside the network.

Your Commtrex presence

Turn your capabilities into structured information.

Your Commtrex storefront organizes the information buyers need to evaluate your business, including locations, services, modes, freight types, equipment, lanes, rail connections, and other provider-specific capabilities.

Different businesses. Different sales motions.

A transload operator sells something different from a carrier, railroad, broker, or industrial developer. Commtrex uses your provider type and capabilities to make the experience relevant to the services, markets, lanes, locations, equipment, and freight your team actually sells.

Built around the freight

Different freight requires different capabilities.

A logistics provider is only relevant if it can handle the freight, equipment, service requirements, and operating conditions behind the move. Commtrex structures provider capabilities around those differences so shippers can find better-fit providers and your team can focus on opportunities your business is equipped to handle.

What matters for this freight?

Dry bulk

Grain, aggregates, minerals, plastics, cement, fertilizer, and other dry bulk commodities.

Commtrex uses these details to understand provider fit.

The freight type is only part of the match.

The same commodity can require very different logistics solutions depending on volume, equipment, origin and destination, mode, handling requirements, storage needs, timing, and the services required around the move. Commtrex uses those details to build a more complete picture of provider fit.

The details behind a better provider fit.

Freight and capability data helps Commtrex understand where a provider fits. It gives Scout better context for matching shipper requirements, helps buyers evaluate providers, and gives the front-office system more relevant information about the opportunities entering the sales process.

The Commtrex network

Connected across the North American freight network.

Commtrex brings together logistics providers, facilities, transportation networks, and freight markets across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Providers can build visibility beyond their own website and sales pipeline through a network designed around how freight actually moves between locations, modes, and service partners.

Ports & terminals

Coverage across marine ports, inland terminals, intermodal facilities, and freight infrastructure throughout North America.

Built around North American freight.

Commtrex provides coverage across freight networks and logistics markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, connecting providers across the infrastructure that moves freight throughout the continent.

Freight rarely moves through one provider alone.

A shipment may move through a port, railroad, terminal, warehouse, truck carrier, transload facility, or specialized service provider before reaching its destination. The Commtrex network helps connect those pieces so providers can be discovered in the context of the freight markets and transportation networks they serve.

A provider profile is more useful when it’s connected to the network.

Your Commtrex presence is not an isolated company profile. It sits within a network of providers, facilities, transportation connections, freight requirements, and shipper activity. That context helps buyers discover relevant providers and gives Commtrex more information to support matching, demand intelligence, and sales activity.

Powered by network context

The network gives Scout more context for every match.

Scout uses information about shipper requirements and provider capabilities to identify relevant providers across the Commtrex network. Service fit, freight requirements, geography, modes, equipment, lanes, and network connections can all help provide context for matching.

FAQ

Questions about Commtrex for providers.

Commtrex is built for logistics providers that want to be easier to find, understand where demand is forming, engage more prospects, and manage new business through one connected front office.

What is Commtrex for logistics providers?

Commtrex is a front-office platform built specifically for logistics providers. It brings together digital discovery, demand intelligence, inbound and outbound sales engagement, opportunity management, market intelligence, and the Commtrex freight network.

Providers use Commtrex to help attract new business, identify companies showing demand, engage prospects, and manage opportunities through close.

What types of logistics providers use Commtrex?

Commtrex supports providers across the freight network, including transload facilities, rail-served terminals and warehouses, railcar storage facilities, rail service providers, short line and regional railroads, railcar lessors, trucking and drayage companies, ports and marine terminals, intermodal terminals, bulk and liquid terminals, warehouses and 3PLs, freight brokers, and industrial and rail-served real estate providers.

The platform can adapt to the services, locations, markets, lanes, equipment, freight, and capabilities relevant to each provider.

How does Commtrex help logistics providers find new business?

Commtrex supports several parts of business development rather than relying on a single source of leads.

Providers can build their presence across Commtrex and their own website, understand company-level demand with Signal, engage target accounts through Reach, qualify inbound opportunities with Relay, and manage prospects and opportunities in Desk.

The Commtrex network and Scout also help connect shipper requirements with relevant providers based on factors such as services, freight requirements, geography, modes, equipment, lanes, and network fit.

What is Signal?

Signal is Commtrex’s demand-intelligence product for logistics providers. It helps identify companies showing interest in the locations, lanes, services, capacity, and logistics capabilities relevant to your business.

Signal gives sales teams additional context about what an account is researching and helps prioritize accounts showing stronger intent.

Signal operates at the company or account level. It should not be interpreted as identifying every website visitor or proving that every company showing activity is actively buying.

Does Commtrex include a CRM?

Commtrex includes Desk, a lightweight sales CRM built around logistics opportunities.

Desk is designed to organize prospects, contacts, conversations, requests, next actions, opportunities, and pipeline so logistics sales teams can keep new business moving.

It is focused on the commercial side of logistics. It is not positioned as a replacement for a transportation management system, ERP, billing system, or full enterprise customer-management platform.

Does Commtrex build websites for logistics providers?

Yes. Provider websites can be part of the Commtrex front-office package.

Commtrex builds logistics-focused websites around the provider’s actual services, locations, markets, freight, and capabilities. The goal is to make the business easier for buyers to understand and create a clearer path from digital discovery into the provider’s sales process.

The provider’s website and Commtrex presence work as connected parts of the same digital front office.

Does Commtrex work for providers outside of rail?

Yes. Commtrex has deep roots in rail and continues to support railroads, rail-served facilities, transload, railcar storage, rail services, and other rail-related businesses, but the provider platform is multimodal.

Commtrex also supports trucking and drayage companies, ports and marine terminals, intermodal providers, warehouses and 3PLs, freight brokers, bulk and liquid terminals, industrial real estate, and other logistics providers.

Does Commtrex replace my TMS or operations software?

No. Commtrex is focused on the front office: getting found, understanding demand, engaging prospects, managing sales opportunities, and supporting the commercial relationships around new business.

Transportation management systems, ERP platforms, dispatch systems, billing software, and other operational systems solve different parts of the logistics workflow.

Does Commtrex provide outbound sales support?

Yes. Reach is the outbound sales capability within the Commtrex front office. It helps turn target accounts and demand signals into outbound sales activity, including AI-powered outbound calling.

The goal is to help sales teams create conversations around relevant accounts without depending entirely on manual prospecting.

Can Commtrex handle inbound sales inquiries?

Relay is Commtrex’s inbound sales capability. It is designed to answer inbound inquiries, handle common questions, capture freight requirements, qualify prospects, and route actionable opportunities to the appropriate sales team.

Relay connects inbound engagement with the broader front-office workflow rather than leaving inquiries disconnected across forms, inboxes, and individual salespeople.

What is Reid?

Reid is the contract-management capability within Desk.

It keeps contracts connected to the accounts, opportunities, and commercial relationships they belong to, giving sales teams a more connected path from opportunity management into the contract stage.

Reid is part of Desk rather than a separate CRM.

What is Atlas?

Atlas is Commtrex’s market-intelligence capability for providers evaluating where future freight opportunities may develop.

It is designed to surface industrial development, facility expansions and upgrades, and projected freight activity in a market.

Signal and Atlas answer different questions:

Signal: Which companies are showing demand now?

Atlas: Where could new freight opportunities be developing?

What is Scout?

Scout is Commtrex’s behind-the-scenes matching intelligence.

It uses information about shipper requirements and provider capabilities to identify relevant providers across the Commtrex network. Matching context can include services, freight requirements, geography, lanes, modes, equipment, and network connections.

Scout supports provider matching within Commtrex rather than operating as a standalone provider-facing sales tool.

What is an AI-readable storefront?

A Commtrex storefront organizes a provider’s services, locations, markets, modes, freight types, equipment, connections, and other relevant capabilities into structured information.

That structure helps people searching Commtrex understand what the provider does and gives systems used for search, matching, and AI-assisted research clearer information to interpret.

An AI-readable storefront does not guarantee that a third-party AI or search platform will recommend, rank, or cite a provider.

What freight types does Commtrex support?

Commtrex can represent a broad range of freight requirements, including dry bulk, liquid bulk and tank freight, breakbulk, intermodal containers, flatbed and project cargo, oversize and dimensional freight, hazardous materials, food-grade freight, temperature-controlled freight, full truckload (FTL), and less-than-truckload (LTL).

Provider fit can also depend on factors such as equipment, mode, geography, handling requirements, storage, lanes, and transportation connections.

Which railroads and ports does the Commtrex network cover?

Commtrex provides coverage across major North American freight networks and ports in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The network includes rail-served facilities connected to Class I, short line, and regional railroads, along with ports, terminals, transload facilities, warehouses, carriers, and service providers that support freight moving between marine, rail, and truck transportation.

How do I get started with Commtrex?

Start by establishing or updating your company’s presence on Commtrex so your services, locations, markets, freight, and capabilities are represented accurately.

Providers looking for a broader sales and business-development system can use the Commtrex front office to connect discovery, demand intelligence, inbound and outbound engagement, and opportunity management.
