Define lanes, equipment, volumes and commercial terms with guided forms or Excel import. Set visibility to public or invite-only, then publish when your team is ready.

Common questions

How long does a typical tender take?

Most teams run a full cycle in days instead of weeks. Publish, collect structured bids, compare with Raptor, and award — without spreadsheet reconciliation.

Do carriers need to be onboarded first?

No. You can invite registered providers or share public/guest links. Carriers can respond in your format without a full setup, and onboard later if they want their own templates.

Can I control tender and bid numbering?

Yes. Configurable code formats (prefix, fiscal year, sequence length) live under System Parameters and apply automatically on creation.

Is every decision auditable?

Yes. Workspaces are tenant-isolated, access is role-based, and state changes are recorded in an immutable audit log.
