Central Software
The FR8Works Application is hosted in the cloud and can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. It acts as the brain of FR8Works aggregating data from onsite sources (Tag Interface Modules or Ticketing Terminals) into actionable real time information for the organization.
The role-based interface supplies each stakeholder in the shipping process a unique login to access the system with configurable levels of permission. The centralized environment allows the management of multiple site plans at once, new sites can be configured quickly.
FR8Works utilizes our cloud dashboard to provide unparalleled access to your data. The dashboard updates automatically in real time as shipments progress.
See relevant shipment information such as time in/out, who was driving, what they were driving, which carrier, which product they are picking up/dropping off and related shipping documents such as tickets and eBOLs.

Software Security
FR8Works is PSCL’s managed service that collects and processes industrial logistics data, scale weights, delivery receipts, bills of lading (BOLs), and optional security-camera images from IoT devices and kiosks deployed at remote facilities. Data is delivered to a multi-tenant cloud environment in Microsoft Azure via RabbitMQ.
Our security program aligns with ISO 27001 and CSA Cloud Controls Matrix principles and focuses on three pillars:
Confidentiality: Safeguarding data in transit and at rest.
Integrity: Preventing unauthorized alteration of messages, media, and transactions.
Availability: Ensuring resilient, fault-tolerant operations and disaster recovery.
Monitoring Login and Audit
- Every transaction, file upload, and camera capture are recorded
- Azure tools provide log aggregation and automated alerting
- Logs are retained for a minimum of 30 days (configurable)
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
- Each primary resource is replicated three times within its availability zone and asynchronously to a paired Azure region
- Immutable backups allow point-in-time restore (PITR) and region-wide failover
Compliance & Governance
Data is hosted exclusively in Azure regions located in Canada or the United States, according to customer preference.
