Spot happens. And that’s fine. But there’s a better way for spot buying. An AI-powered way.
Historically, when shippers sought additional capacity, they would reach out to multiple carriers via phone or email, or manually post their loads on load boards, hoping for a match.
This manual spot buying process is time-consuming, requires multiple touch points and often results in higher costs, due to lack of market transparency. Shippers are dealing with the enemy of inefficiency and are forced to spend an excessive amount of time and resources to secure capacity.
