Batch Rate LTL Shipments
Machines are much better at this than men (or women). Say you want to compare to your carrier rates to 25 competitive freight bills. (We won’t ask how you got them.) Do you really want to plug in all the parameters manually and run the quotes one at a time? What if it’s a file with 50,000 shipments. We can all agree that computers are better doing this kind of thing, and this app definitely is. Just pick the pricing programs you want to rate against, select the input data file, and hit submit. Within minutes or a few hours (for very large files), you get the results back with rates added to each shipment. You can select from dozens of other parameters you also want to see for each shipment. For example, the amount of fuel surcharge, individual accessorial charges, whether it was an absolute minimum charge, which tariff was used, the level of discount. You name it. Believe us, this is the only way to rate batch files.

Track LTL Bid Status
Deadline is approaching. Where is my RFP proposal?? The thing with RFPs and freight bids is, a whole bunch of people have to contribute various content for the response, and they all have to get it done on schedule. But how do you, the person ultimately responsible for putting forth a successful proposal, before the deadline, keep track of who’s doing what? Especially if you are juggling multiple RFPs at the same time. The answer is, you use this app. It generates a regularly scheduled report at intervals of your choosing that summarizes the status of all open RFPs and the key details of where each major element stands. Has the packet gone to carriers? Which ones have responded? Have the carrier proposals been compared and analyzed? Get answer to all these questions and increase your win ratio.
