ARK TMS vs TriviumTMS

ARK TMS is cloud-based software for freight brokerages to manage quotes, loads, carriers, tracking, and billing. Its workflow moves from quote to load creation and load-board posting, then carrier readiness and bulk billing. Load records can generate rate confirmations, Bills of Lading, invoices, and related documents, with branded templates and built-in e-signatures. QuickBooks Online syncs supported customer invoices, carrier bills, and payment-related accounting records from ARK; the sync runs one way. Trucker Tools supports real-time GPS tracking, status and ETA updates, document uploads, and driver communication. RMIS supports carrier invitations and manual sync, as well as automatic Delta sync for monitored updates when RMIS onboarding is enabled. Other named integrations include Truckstop, Sylectus, MyCarrierPortal, Highway, and MacroPoint. ARK runs in a modern web browser on a computer, tablet, or phone with an internet connection. It offers a REST API with restricted tokens and MCP connectivity for supported AI clients, subject to permissions. ARK TMS is listed at $199 a month, billed per user per month; optional tracking is priced on request per billable tracking session.
