Read full descriptionHide full description
FR8 Messenger brings the communication of your FR8 transport management system (TMS) straight to your phone. Dispatchers, customers and contractors with FR8 portal access stay connected on the go – without opening the laptop and logging into the web TMS. INTERNAL MESSENGER Chat directly with your team: one-to-one and group chats, channels, attachments (photos and files), read/unread and per-chat mute. Messages can be searched, copied and forwarded. DRIVER MESSENGER Stay in touch with your drivers – across language barriers thanks to automatic AI translation. Start a chat with a vehicle or with the person driving it, listen to voice messages from the driver app and reply by voice yourself. Filter driver chats by your dispatch groups, see the last known GPS position with a 48-hour history, and keep an eye on driving and rest times. RESPONSEDESK Answer customer enquiries on the go: view requests, reply directly, forward them or turn them into a to-do – with AI support for drafting. INCIDENTS Don't just look at reported incidents – work through them: set the status (new, in progress, postponed, done), filter your own and open cases, show completed ones. FR8 ASSISTANT Your AI assistant on the go: ask about orders, vehicles or tours in natural language and get things done right away. Upload a PDF while you're out and say, for example, "Create an order from this and add a to-do due Monday" – the assistant only carries out actions after your confirmation. Past conversations are kept and answers can be copied. (Available if enabled for your account.) TO-DOS Create, assign and search tasks – for colleagues, drivers or vehicles. Watched to-dos and counters in the navigation keep you up to date; any message becomes a task with one tap. ON THE GO • See your vehicles' GPS location at a glance • Raise support requests, view and answer your own – with attachments • Push notifications – on or off per channel • Quick switching between linked accounts • A dedicated contractor area for subcontractors PUSH WHEN IT MATTERS Get notified about new messages, enquiries and due tasks – so you never miss anything important on the weekend or on the road. BILINGUAL & PLATFORM-NATIVE Fully switchable between German and English. The app feels like a true iOS app on iPhone, follows the platform's interaction patterns and supports light and dark mode. NOTE FR8 Messenger is a business app for existing FR8 customers and contractors with portal access. There is no public sign-up in the app – you sign in with your existing FR8 account. FR8 is the transport management system for forwarders and haulage companies. Learn more at fr8.cloud.
