Freight brokerage ROI calculator
If ProofRelay saves only a few minutes per load, the math can work on labor alone.
This calculator is an illustrative savings estimate for freight brokerages. It is not a promise of savings and does not assume fraud prevention. Enter your own load volume, loaded ops cost, and invoice leakage to see break-even minutes per load.

Defaults are illustrative, not guaranteed. Replace them with your actual load volume, loaded ops cost, minutes saved per load, and per-load invoice leakage.

Illustrative payback
2.0 months
Illustrative value combines labor leverage ($25,000 at 5 minutes saved/load) and routed invoice-leakage reduction ($30,000 at $5/load). Break-even counts labor alone. It does not assume fraud prevention or guarantee reduced losses.
Break-even examples for a 6,000-load/year brokerage at $50/hour loaded ops cost
Starter — $750/month
1.8 minutes/load
Growth — $1,500/month
3.6 minutes/load
Pro — $3,000/month
7.2 minutes/load
Sales framing: if ProofRelay saves just 2 minutes per load, the Starter tier can pay for itself on labor alone. Routed invoice leakage, dispute retrieval, and cleaner carrier-payment evidence are upside.
Boundary
ProofRelay verifies submitted evidence structure, integrity, authority metadata, receipt continuity, and review status. It does not guarantee that no double brokering, cargo theft, fraud, or falsified document event occurred, and it does not replace FMCSA, TMS, factoring, insurance, fraud-vendor, accounting, legal, or human review.
