Frequently asked questions

What is Global Bid?

A bidirectional freight tendering and bidding platform connecting importers, exporters and freight forwarders (customers) with carriers and service providers across ocean, air, road and rail in one secure, structured workflow.

How is this different from running tenders over email and Excel?

Bids come in as structured, comparable line items instead of scattered PDFs. The Raptor engine normalizes and ranks them automatically, so evaluation takes minutes and every decision is auditable.

Do carriers need to be onboarded to bid?

No. You can invite registered providers from your portfolio or send public/guest quick-links. Carriers can respond in your prescribed format without a formal setup, and onboard fully when they want their own templates.

Can I control my own tender and bid numbering?

Yes — configurable code formats (prefix, fiscal year, sequence length) are managed under System Parameters and applied automatically on creation.

Is my data secure?

Workspaces are fully tenant-isolated, access is role-based, and every state change is recorded in an immutable audit log.
