Stop Running Spot Bids Out of Your Inbox
A structured procurement workflow for the spot lanes your contracts don't cover, built into the rate intelligence you already use.
Spot Procurement Has Outgrown The Inbox
Most shippers run their spot bids the same way they ran them ten years ago, and it shows.
Carrier quotes scattered across email threads, with no central record of who said what.
Side-by-side comparisons rebuilt in a new spreadsheet every time, slow and error-prone.
No audit trail when procurement leadership asks why a lane went to a specific carrier.
Hours of process work per bid, on a function that's only getting more frequent as markets get more volatile.
Volatility is moving more freight to spot. The way you procure that freight needs to keep up.
The Only Spot Procurement System Built on Your Rate Intelligence
Bid faster, award defensibly, and turn every spot rate into rate intelligence you already use.
Structured Request Workflow
Issue a spot bid with route, equipment, commodity, and dates in a few clicks. No email threads, no spreadsheet versioning. For repeat lanes or urgent moves, Quick Quote turns the whole process into a single step.
Carrier-Direct Quoting
Quotes come from the major global carriers you already work with, all inside the platform. No anonymous capacity, no loadboard. Spot procurement that preserves the relationships you've spent years building.
Contract Optimization
Every quote on one screen. Pricing, terms, history, side by side. Award the lane with a click. Every quote, revision, and decision is captured automatically as an audit trail.
Multi-Modal Coverage
Ocean, air, and truck, all run through the same Spot Rate Procurement workflow. Whichever mode the volatility hits, the process stays the same.
Built For The New Realityof Spot Freight
Built for an industry whose spot procurement has outgrown its tools.
Spot Stopped Being a Footnote
Across the industry, spot freight has stopped being the exception. Volatility, capacity shifts, and carrier-side rate changes have moved more freight off contract every year. Procurement teams everywhere are running more spot bids than they did five years ago, on the same email-and-spreadsheet workflows they used five years ago. Something had to give.
Pressure-Tested With a Global Manufacturer
When one of the world's largest manufacturers brought the same problem to us, we built Spot Rate Procurement with them, in production, before we sold it to anyone else. Quick Quote came from their own procurement team flagging the friction every team raises about platform-based bidding: "email is faster." We built it so that wasn't true anymore.
Real-World Impact
The Bottom Line
Stop running spot bids out of your inbox. Spot Rate Procurement gives your procurement team the structure, defensibility, and leverage of a real bid workflow, built on the rate intelligence you already use.
