Disconnected Agreement Records
Owner-operator agreements were tracked in separate documents disconnected from actual load activity.
LOGISTICS MVP CASE STUDY
Structured Agreements And Settlements For Every Owner-Operator
A logistics company working with independent truck owners managed agreements and settlements through disconnected spreadsheets. We built a greenfield MVP that manages loads, agreements, settlements, and performance for owner-operator relationships.
▣ Greenfield Owner-Operator MVP A connected system replaced disconnected spreadsheets for agreements and settlements.
♙ Load-Linked Settlements Settlements are calculated directly from completed loads rather than manual reconciliation.
✦ Performance Visibility Operators and the company can both see performance history tied to real load data.
Managing Independent Truck Owner Relationships With Structure
Working with owner-operators involves ongoing agreements, load assignments, and settlement calculations, all of which are difficult to manage reliably across disconnected spreadsheets and manual records.
The Owner-Operator Management MVP connects loads, agreements, settlements, and performance history into one system for logistics companies working with independent truck owners.

The Challenge
Manual Settlement Calculations
Settlement amounts were calculated manually from load data, increasing the risk of errors and disputes.
Limited Performance Tracking
There was no structured way to track owner-operator performance over time to inform future load assignments.
What We Can Identified
A connected workflow linking owner-operator agreements, loads, settlements, and performance history.
Agreement Management
Owner-operator agreements, rates, and terms are stored centrally and linked to each operator profile.
Load Assignment
Loads are assigned to owner-operators with terms drawn directly from their existing agreement.
Settlement Calculation
Settlements are calculated automatically from completed loads and agreed rates, reducing manual reconciliation.
Performance History
On-time performance and load completion history are tracked per operator to inform future assignments.
Document Storage
Agreement documents and settlement statements are stored together for easy reference.
Dispute Resolution Support
Settlement disputes can be reviewed against the underlying load and agreement data directly.
How MVPHUB Delivered Owner-Operator Management From Concept To MVP
1
◇ Assess
We assessed how agreements, loads, and settlements were currently tracked across separate spreadsheets.
2
✎ Connect
We defined how agreements, loads, and settlement calculations should link together consistently.
3
✦ Build
Our engineers built the agreement, assignment, and settlement workflow as one connected system.
4
♢ Reconcile
We tested settlement calculations against real load scenarios to confirm accuracy.
5
⌁ Launch
The MVP launched as a working owner-operator management system ready for operational use.
An owner-operator who cannot trust their settlement is an owner-operator who will not stay.
Engineering Behind The Trustworthy Settlement Experience
Agreement-Linked Data Model
A shared data model connects agreements, loads, and settlements so calculations stay consistent.
Settlement Calculation Engine
A settlement engine derives payments directly from completed loads and agreed rates.
Performance Tracking
Structured performance tracking gives both sides visibility into reliability over time.
Built For Continued Growth
The system supports additional owner-operators and agreement types as the network grows.
The Outcome
Before: Disconnected, Manual Operator Management
× Agreements tracked separately from loads
× Manual settlement calculations
× No structured performance history
× Frequent settlement disputes
× Difficult record reconciliation
After: A Connected Owner-Operator Management System
✓ Centralized agreement records
✓ Automatic settlement calculation
✓ Structured performance history
✓ Fewer settlement disputes
✓ Linked agreement and load data
A Working MVP Ready For Operational Use

Agreement to settlement workflow
Accurate, load-linked settlements
From Disconnected Spreadsheets To Trusted Settlements
Link the agreement to the load. Settle with confidence.
Owner-operator relationships depend on trust, and trust depends on settlements that clearly reflect the work completed. Building this MVP meant connecting agreements and loads so every settlement could be explained and verified.
THE MVPHUB PRINCIPLE
“Trust between a company and its owner-operators is built one accurate settlement at a time — never assume the spreadsheet is close enough.
