Denim (denim.com, formerly Axle Payments) is an all-in-one financial and back-office platform for freight brokers, trucking companies, and 3PLs. It provides freight factoring, invoicing, collections, carrier payments, and a fuel card, automating the broker back office and syncing two ways with transportation management systems. The Denim Public API (OpenAPI 3.0) exposes freight loads (jobs), debtors, payees, companies, factoring companies, and transactions, secured with an x-api-key header, so partners can create and quote jobs, onboard debtor/payee relationships, and reconcile transactions programmatically. Added to the API Evangelist network as a portfolio-company lead and enriched from the provider's public developer surface.
