Easy upload of data
Upload of your historical or baseline data can be done via a template of directly with your own file. An easy-to-use wizard helps you gathering and organizing the data into the right columns.
Automated alerts
The platform takes care of alerts which are set by default but which you can customize. This way tender participants will be informed when new data is added to the platform or when deadlines are coming closer.
Custom settings
After the rate card creation you can add cost items, set how they will be calculated, select weight break calculations, set conditions to costs so the rate card becomes unique to your tender event.
Setting of target rates
In Round 1 of the tender, carriers quote to stay in the tender, in Round 2 they will quote sharper but they need guidance. This is where you set target rates based on percentage of the lowest quote you received per lane. Carriers will then quote for this round and will see how far they are off from the target rate based on different colorized ranges.
Rate card creation
Thanks to our deep rate experience our platform will automatically create rate cards based upon your profile and the available fields in our settings. From there on you can add cost items, set how they will be calculated, select weight break calculations, set conditions to costs so the rate card becomes unique to your tender event.
Progress dashboard
Thanks to this overview you’ll see what tender participants have done so far and if any errors occurred in their uploads.
Communication
One of the main things in tendering is good communication. We provide a way to directly chat with carriers, send a general announcements to all participants and a way to share answers to questions asked to all participants.
Easy awarding
From the different scenarios you can immediately nominate carriers and manually override any automated nomination. Once all done, you just press a button and the awarding to carriers will take place whereby rate cards with corresponding lanes will be automatically generated.
Business Intelligence
