An Xpert Dispatch alternative that keeps up as your fleet grows.
TransPlus is an Xpert Dispatch alternative for fleets adding trucks, loads and users. It runs fleets from a handful of trucks to 800, puts several orders on one trip, and keeps your books in QuickBooks or Sage. Built in Kitchener, Ontario, in trucking since 1995, with 1:1 live technical support on every plan.
Built for the fleet you're growing into.
TransPlus is cloud-hosted, with no server in your office to outgrow. Lite, Standard and Enterprise are one system with more switched on, so you add trucks, users and divisions without starting over.
Several orders, one trip.
Put several customer orders on the same trip and run LTL next to truckload from one dispatch board. Each customer is still billed from its own order, and the trip processing board shows which orders on the trip still need auditing and invoicing.
Your books stay in QuickBooks or Sage.
Customer invoices, driver settlements and carrier bills can post from the load record to QuickBooks Online or Desktop, Sage 50 or Sage 300, so nobody types the same invoice twice. Your accountant keeps the ledger they already use, and you can watch the hand-off on a load like yours in the demo.

What Xpert Dispatch does well, and where fleets outgrow it.
Xpert Dispatch costs less to start, from CA$125 per month with a 30-day free trial. It comes with a load board, built-in receivables and payables with a QuickBooks sync, its own ACE and ACI e-manifest module, EDI, a driver app, and 24/7 support in English, Hindi and Punjabi. For a small fleet hauling truckload, that can be all it needs. Growth is where fleets tell us it strains. Since 2021, more than 30 fleets running Xpert have told us it ran slow, froze or lost work, and several said it got worse as they added trucks, loads and users. Trailwood Transport grew from 40 to 135 trucks on TransPlus.

Here's what switching from Xpert takes.
Your customers, drivers, carriers, trucks and trailers come over through TransPlus templates. Order history stays in your Xpert export. Onboarding takes 30 to 90 days depending on fleet size and data migration, and most Fleet Manager customers are live within 60 days, with a named onboarding specialist. You keep dispatching in Xpert until the day you switch, and you plan with your onboarding specialist how open invoices and year-to-date driver settlements are handled on that day.
Common questions about switching from Xpert Dispatch.
Have another question?
Yes. Fleets often search for it as Expert IT or ExpertIT. The product is Xpert Dispatch, listed on Capterra and G2 as Xpert Dispatch Software, and made by Xpert IT Solutions in Mississauga, Ontario.
Yes, for fleets whose work has changed: carriers adding trucks and loads, putting several orders on one trip, wanting their books in QuickBooks or Sage rather than inside the dispatch software, or needing EDI for a shipper. TransPlus has served trucking since 1995, offers 1:1 live technical support on every plan, and most Fleet Manager customers are live within 60 days.
It is a reason we hear often from fleets on Xpert. Since 2021, more than 30 fleets running Xpert have told us it ran slow, froze or lost work, and several said it got worse as they added trucks, loads and users. TransPlus runs fleets from a handful of trucks to 800 on the same platform. Bring a week of real loads to the demo and see it on your own volume.
Xpert Dispatch costs less to start and keeps receivables and payables inside the dispatch software, with a QuickBooks sync. TransPlus puts several customer orders on one trip for LTL, hands invoices and settlements to QuickBooks or Sage, has an in-house EDI team that builds and monitors each connection, and gives 1:1 live technical support on every plan. Both are built in Ontario.
Xpert Dispatch costs less. It does not publish pricing on its site, and Capterra lists it from CA$125 per month. TransPlus Fleet Manager is $350 per month for Lite (up to 3 users), $500 for Standard (up to 6 users) and $650 for Enterprise (no user cap, IFTA reporting included), on an annual contract billed quarterly in CAD or USD. Driver-app seats, add-on modules such as EDI or ACE and ACI, and the one-time onboarding fee are quoted separately.
Yes. In Fleet Manager a trip can carry several customer orders, and the trip processing board shows which orders on it still need auditing and invoicing, so each customer is billed from its own order. LTL and truckload run from the same dispatch board.
Your BorderConnect or GeTS account does. The ACE & ACI e-Manifest module builds each e-manifest from the load and sends it through that account, and the acceptance or rejection comes back onto the load record. It is an add-on on every plan. If you file today through Xpert's own module, Fineline Crossing, you'll need a BorderConnect or GeTS account of your own, and TransPlus connects your load records to it.
Your customers, drivers, carriers, trucks and trailers do, through TransPlus templates, with a named onboarding specialist guiding the import. Order history does not come over, so keep your Xpert export. Most Fleet Manager customers are live within 60 days.
Yes. Drivers move from the XpertDriver app to TransPlus Connect, the TransPlus driver app: the day's trips and stops, documents, messaging and proof of delivery, synced to Fleet Manager so the signed POD and BOL photos land on the trip record. Driver-app seats are licensed per driver and quoted separately.
No. Instead, a TransPlus specialist runs dispatch, invoicing and the QuickBooks hand-off on loads like yours in a demo scheduled the same week, with no commitment.
A fleet hauling truckload that wants the lowest monthly price, keeps its books inside its dispatch software and is not adding trucks quickly may be well served by Xpert Dispatch. A fleet that is growing, needs several orders on one trip, wants its books in QuickBooks Online, Desktop or Sage, or needs EDI built and monitored by an in-house team should look at TransPlus.
