FACT SHEET
Rate on Demand
Smarter bidding starts with the right benchmark
Rate on Demand delivers precise spot and contract rate intelligence at postal code level, empowering carriers and LSPs to confidently price spot offers, respond to tenders and evaluate bids with reliable market data to increase win rates and profitability.
In the competitive world of freight, pricing spot loads or new tenders can feel like flying blind.
A lack of precise, real-time data to guide their pricing decisions, especially for unfamiliar lanes or high-volume corridors. Rate on Demand changes that. With accurate spot and contract rate data down to postal code level, this powerful feature helps freight sellers confidently benchmark, price and win more business.
Now available via API and bulk download, it integrates seamlessly into your pricing workflows.
CHALLENGES
Challenges we solve
Flying blind on spot lanes
Freight sellers often lack reliable reference rates when pricing spot shipments or entering new lanes, making bids hit-or-miss.
Data access without sharing sensitive information
Many companies want rate benchmarks but aren’t able or willing to share their transport data, disqualifying them from traditional benchmark tools.
Manual, time-consuming processes
Manually collecting and comparing rate data lane-by-lane slows down response times and reduces accuracy in pricing decisions.
Lack of integration into existing workflows
Without scalable integration options, rate intelligence remains disconnected from daily pricing operations.
