ARK TMS
LinkedIn lists the headquarters as Tampa, Florida, United States.
What it is
ARK TMS is cloud software for U.S. freight brokerages managing quotes, loads, carriers, tracking, and billing. Its workflow moves from quote and load creation through load-board posting, carrier readiness, and bulk billing. Load records can generate rate confirmations, Bills of Lading, invoices, and related documents using branded templates and built-in e-signatures. QuickBooks Online synchronization covers supported customer invoices, carrier bills, and payment records, but the sync is one way from ARK. Trucker Tools adds GPS tracking, status and ETA updates, document uploads, and driver communication. RMIS supports carrier invitations and monitored updates when onboarding is enabled. Other listed integrations include Truckstop, Sylectus, MyCarrierPortal, Highway, and MacroPoint. ARK runs in a browser on computers, tablets, and phones, and offers a REST API plus MCP connectivity subject to permissions. Pricing starts at $199/user/mo; there is no free plan.
