How we operate

How Porterchain runs your delivery

Every capacity request across the GTA and Ontario metros we serve runs through our network operations layer — dispatch, routing, driver coordination, live tracking, proof of delivery, and billing. You buy transportation capacity; this is the engine behind it.

Operations

From capacity request to proof of delivery

Structured workflows replace ad-hoc coordination so every shipment in the network is accountable.

  1. 1

    Request & quote

    Shippers share pickup, dropoff, vehicle class, urgency, and proof requirements before wheels roll.

  2. 2

    Match capacity

    Dispatch matches the right professional driver and vehicle class from the network.

  3. 3

    Execute & monitor

    Control tower tracks live progress, exceptions, and customer communication through delivery.

  4. 4

    Close with proof

    Photo, signature, GPS, and status history are captured for billing and follow-up.
