# One platform for every company you own. > Run every carrier, brokerage and division on one platform, each with separate books. Sister-company hauls price at internal rates, and margin counts once. URL: https://roadmark.ai/groups Language: en Carriers, brokerages and divisions each keep their own customers, carriers and books. Sister companies haul for each other at internal rates, the group counts margin once, and a company you buy joins on the TMS it already runs. ## Set it up the way the group is really organized. Legal companies, the divisions inside them, and the terminals they run from. Each company has its own customers, carriers, rates and books. Divisions share their company's accounts, so nothing is duplicated to make a report work. - **Ashgrove Freight:** Asset carrier · 140 trucks - **Northline Cartage:** Division of Ashgrove Freight · drayage - **Ashgrove Dedicated:** Division of Ashgrove Freight · two grocery accounts - **Ashgrove Logistics:** Brokerage and 3PL - **Keel Transport:** Carrier · 60 trucks · joined the group in March ## One sells it, one hauls it, and the group counts it once. When Ashgrove Logistics books a load and Keel Transport hauls it, Roadmark prices the haul from the group's internal rate schedule, creates both sides of the internal invoice, and removes the double count from group reporting. 1. **Ashgrove Logistics:** Sells load 48240 to Prairie Foods. Quoted to Prairie Foods as brokered overflow. 2. **Keel Transport:** Accepts it at the internal rate. From the group schedule for this lane. No negotiating between sister companies. 3. **Both companies:** Internal invoice, both sides. A payable at Logistics and a receivable at Keel, matched automatically. ## One customer across the group. Terms set by each company. Prairie Foods buys from three parts of the group. Each keeps its own rates and payment terms, while credit and the relationship are managed once for the whole group. ## From group margin to a single load in three clicks. Owners see the whole group with sister-company hauls counted once. Every number opens into the companies, lanes and loads behind it. - **CA$38.4M:** Group revenue this quarter, after removing CA$4.1M of sister-company hauls - **12.6%:** Group margin, counted once - **1 in 9:** Loads hauled by a sister company instead of an outside carrier ## Everyone sees their part of the group. A dispatcher at Keel sees Keel's loads. The group controller sees everything. Agents and AI assistants follow the same rules as the person they work for, company by company. ## Change the group without rewriting its history. Every change to the group is dated. Reports for last year still show last year's group, and a company you sell leaves with its own records. - **Mar 3, 2026:** Keel Transport joins the group. It stays on McLeod. Roadmark reads its loads, and group reports include it from this date only. - **Apr 14, 2026:** Keel starts hauling for Ashgrove Logistics at the group's internal rates. - **Jul 1, 2026:** Northline Cartage becomes a division of Ashgrove Freight. Its history before July stays under its old name. - **Today:** Keel's quoting moves to Roadmark; dispatch stays on McLeod until Keel is ready. ## What group owners and controllers ask. ### Can one TMS run several companies with separate books? Yes. Each carrier, brokerage and division keeps its own customers, carriers, rates and books, and divisions share their company's accounts, so nothing is duplicated to make a report work. ### How are loads between sister companies priced and invoiced? At the group's internal rate for the lane, with no negotiating between sister companies. Roadmark creates both sides of the internal invoice, a payable at one company and a receivable at the other, matched automatically. ### How is group margin counted? Once. Sister-company hauls are taken out of group revenue, so a load one company sold and another hauled isn't counted twice, and every figure opens into the companies, lanes and loads behind it. ### Can a company in the group stay on its own TMS? Yes. Each company can run on Roadmark or on its own TMS, and Roadmark reads the ones that stay where they are. A company you buy joins on the TMS it already runs. ### Can one customer buy from several of our companies? Yes. Each company keeps its own rates and payment terms for that customer, while credit and the relationship are managed once for the whole group. ### What happens to reports when we buy or sell a company? Every change to the group is dated, so last year's reports still show last year's group. A company that joins is included from the date it joins, and a company you sell leaves with its own records. ## Related pages - [One TMS or several for a group of trucking companies?](https://roadmark.ai/blog/tms-for-groups-of-companies): How a group of carriers and brokerages keeps separate books, shares customers and records intercompany loads, whether it runs on one TMS or several. - [TMS for an asset carrier with a brokerage](https://roadmark.ai/blog/tms-for-carrier-with-brokerage): What a carrier that also brokers freight needs from one TMS: one board for its trucks and outside carriers, separate authority and books, margin by division. - [Roadmark vs Alvys: a side-by-side TMS comparison](https://roadmark.ai/compare/alvys): Roadmark and Alvys, row by row: two TMSs with no per-user fee, several companies in one system and AI agents.
