LateLoad

Know which trailer is late before the yard does.

LateLoad turns the inbound plan you already export into a live shift board. Late loads are flagged against ETA, arrivals take one click, and the handover writes itself.

Built by a night shift manager at DIRFT. Nothing to install, and your files never leave your computer.

Planned arrivals per hour

Late after

The plan arrives as a file. The shift runs on guesswork.

Most sites between a whiteboard and a full yard system lose the first hour of every shift to the same four problems.

Exports nobody can track against

The inbound and load plans land as XLS or PDF. Someone re-keys them into a spreadsheet, and it is out of date by the first break.

Late loads found on foot

You learn a trailer is late by walking the yard or ringing the haulier, when labour is already planned around it.

Handover rebuilt by hand

Every shift writes the same report from scratch, so senior managers get the numbers late or not at all.

New software means an IT project

Integrations take months and data has to leave the building. Most ideas die at the IT approval stage.

Live on your shift in one day

No integration and no installation. LateLoad reads the files your planning and WMS systems already produce.

Drop in today’s plan
XLS, CSV or PDF export from any WMS or TMS. You map the columns once; LateLoad remembers them for every shift after.
Run the shift from the board
Mark arrivals in one click. Loads turn amber when they are due and red when they pass ETA plus your tolerance.
Hand over in one click
On-time rate, late minutes by haulier and loads handled, exported to Excel or PDF for the next shift and your manager.

See your own plan on the board

Load a CSV export of tonight’s inbound plan and the demo board above switches to your loads, with the clock set to now.

Your file is read by your browser only. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent anywhere. Remove driver names and phone numbers first if you prefer.

The full product also reads XLS, XLSX and PDF plans. The pilot covers mapping your exact format.

It needs a header row, a route or load reference, and an ETA time such as 23:45.

“I built the first version for my own night shifts, because the phone was the only way to know a trailer was late.”

Dorian Roatesi, founder

Dorian runs night-shift operations at a large distribution site at DIRFT: load planning, inbound, and the people who make both happen. He also builds software, and he tests AI systems for security through his own company.

LateLoad is written from scratch for sites that are too busy for an IT project and too big for a whiteboard. Every feature comes from a question a shift manager actually asked.

Questions site managers ask

Does our data leave the building?

Not in the pilot version. LateLoad runs in the browser and reads your files on your own computer. A cloud version with shared logins and history comes later, only for customers who want it, with a data processing agreement.

Which files can it read?

Any export that has a load or route reference and a time: XLS, XLSX, CSV, or a text-based PDF from your WMS or TMS. You map the columns once during onboarding.

Do we need our IT team?

Usually not for the pilot. There is nothing to install and no integration. If your IT team wants to review it, we send a one-page security summary.

Does it replace our WMS?

No. It sits on top of whatever you run, as the shift-floor view your WMS does not give you, at a fraction of the price of a WMS module.

What happens when the pilot ends?

We review the two success measures with whoever approves spend. If you continue, you move to Starter at £149 a month, locked for 12 months. If not, you stop and keep your exports.
