Autonomous Procurement generates instant, favourable offers tailored to your carriers, while you stay in the driving seat. This data-driven approach comes with discounted rates for you, and makes prolonged negotiations a thing of the past. Meanwhile, more efficient load assignment and better prices will make for more satisfied carriers.
Start by posting your transport and setting a price range. The tool will automatically generate instant, attractive offers for your carriers based on the parameters you’ve set. A price within your range will be forecast, offering a prediction that aligns with your expectations. Carriers can accept the predicted price instantly, and the process concludes with a match – no prolonged bidding or negotiation.
Autonomous Procurement is an intelligent solution that adapts fast-to-market changes. If a shipment receives no responses, the price will increase according to current shifts in market dynamics to facilitate swift capacity acquisition.
DOUBLE-DIGIT SAVINGS AND EFFICIENCY GAINS
Autonomous Procurement completely rethinks the spot buying process. Using a combination of AI, machine learning and behavioral science it finds spot market capacity faster and cheaper. Find out how much AI-power procurement can save you, with our ROI calculator.
Predicting price is important, but a specific carrier has to accept an offer before that price is real. We create profiles of each of your carriers to know when and where they are most relevant. This feeds into what work to offer the carrier, and the tactics of negotiating price.
When possible, the software combines loads into bundled offers to carriers, such as consolidated LTL or multistop or continous-move FTL. By finding ways to keep trucks running fuller and longer the software speeds up finding capacity and achieves lower total costs for the loads.
For each load, the software predicts general market and carrier-specific pricing. Predictions learn from your historical moves, past carrier behavior, and 3rd party market data.
For each load, the software automatically selects the most appropriate strategy for when to make offers, which carriers to engage, whether to leverage spot or contracted rates, and what the spot price should be.
As you imagine, such a system creates a tremendous volume of data on pricing, carrier behaviour, and market conditions. We offer a superb toolset for analysts or management to access and explore this data, along with executive KPIs and operations reporting.
