Roadmark vs Ditat: a side-by-side TMS comparison
Roadmark and Ditat, row by row, for carriers, brokerages and asset-based brokerages that run both: automation, AI, companies, modes and pricing.
The short answer
Which one fits you?
Roadmark is the better choice if
- You want quotes, truck plans, carrier cover, tracking updates and invoices drafted for a person to approve, with the numbers and the rule behind each draft.
- Your carrier and brokerage are separate legal companies, or there are several, and you want each with its own books, hauling for each other at an internal rate with the margin counted once.
- You'd rather keep your current TMS for now and start with one job, such as quoting or tracking.
- You move freight beyond truckload, such as LTL, drayage, intermodal, rail, air or ocean, and want it on the same load record.
- You want shippers, your brokerage and outside carriers working on the same shipment in one shared workspace.
- Your team wants to ask about loads from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot.
Ditat is the better choice if
- You'd rather automate with fixed rules you set, such as auto-accepting valid check calls and calculating detention from stop times, than with AI agents that draft the work.
- Your security review asks for SOC 2: Ditat says it follows audited SOC 2 Type II practices.

Who each one is for
Ditat is a cloud TMS from St. Louis, Missouri, in production since 2010. It sells to trucking carriers, freight brokerages and asset-based brokerages that run both, with a product page for each. It covers dispatch, EDI, accounting, billing and settlements, compliance, maintenance, a driver app and customer and driver portals in one platform.
Roadmark is a TMS with AI agents that price quotes, plan trucks and prepare invoices for your team to approve, built for asset carriers, freight brokers and groups of companies.
Where they're alike
Both are for the company that hauls some freight on its own trucks and brokers the rest. Both put dispatch, carrier cover, billing and settlements in one system, both have a driver app, and both handle EDI load tenders (204), tender responses (990), status updates (214) and invoices (210).
The fleet back office is alike too. Both plan fuel stops from the truck's ELD tank level and hold drivers to them through fuel card controls, both produce IFTA reports, both keep equipment maintenance records, and both give customers a view of their shipments.
Where Ditat has the edge
Rules you set. Ditat's automation is rules-based: it auto-accepts valid check calls, calculates detention from stop times and automates EDI tenders, statuses and invoices. If you'd rather configure fixed rules than approve drafts from an agent, that's a real difference in approach.
Security attestation. Ditat says it follows audited SOC 2 Type II practices, with role-based permissions and two-factor authentication. For Roadmark's current status, see its security page.
Integrations. Ditat lists more than 250 integrations, including accounting (QuickBooks, SAP, NetSuite), ELDs (Samsara, Motive, Geotab), fuel cards, factoring, load boards and tolls, with EDI built in-house and included.
Where Roadmark has the edge
Who does the typing. Ditat's automation runs on rules, such as accepting a valid check call or calculating detention, and its AI reads rate confirmations into new shipments. Roadmark's agents draft the record itself: the quote priced from the customer's contract, your lane history and the market; tomorrow's board planned around driver hours; the carriers ranked for a load; the delay update; the invoice on POD. A person approves, edits or rejects each draft.
Separate companies. Ditat's asset-based product runs trucks and brokerage in one system with combined financials. Roadmark runs a group's companies and divisions with separate books: the brokerage sells the load, the sister carrier hauls it at the internal rate, both sides of the internal invoice are created, and the group counts the margin once.
Shippers, brokers and carriers together. Ditat gives customers and drivers their own portals. Roadmark puts shippers, the brokerage and outside carriers in one shared workspace on the same shipment, each seeing their part.
Modes and a gentler start. Ditat describes truckload trucking. Roadmark describes truckload through LTL, drayage, intermodal, rail, air and ocean on one record. Roadmark can run beside your current TMS one job at a time, where Ditat is the system you move onto.

Questions about Roadmark and Ditat
We run trucks and a brokerage. Which fits?
Both are built for it. Ditat runs owned trucks and brokered freight in one system, dispatches across both and reports truck side and brokerage separately. Roadmark runs both in one system too, and can also set them up as sister companies with their own books: one sells the load, the other hauls it at the group's internal rate, and group reporting counts the margin once.
How does Roadmark's pricing compare?
Roadmark starts from $499 USD/month with unlimited users. Start with one workflow beside your current TMS and confirm the setup and price with our team. Compare the required workflows, integrations and implementation scope when evaluating other vendors.
Does Ditat use AI?
Yes, for documents: when you upload a rate confirmation, Ditat extracts the shipment details, shows where it found them, matches the customer and creates the shipment for your team to check. Its other automation is rules-based, such as auto-accepted check calls, detention and fuel planning. Roadmark's agents draft the quote, the plan, the tracking update and the invoice, each showing the numbers and rule behind it, for a person to approve.
Can Roadmark run beside Ditat?
Yes. Ditat describes an open, developer-friendly API for anything that isn't pre-built, beside its native EDI for load tenders and statuses. Roadmark runs beside Ditat through it, one job at a time: booked orders go to Ditat with the stops, rate and references on them, and status comes back.
