Bidders offer in the transmate platform, allowing to track bid progress and benchmark using the transmate integrated analysis.

Integrated analysis

Transmate integrated analysis let's you simulate various cost scenarios next to each other. Simple high level calculations to shipment-level in depth analysis can be run (though Transmate's shipment module). Future volumes can be simulated as well.

Switch point analysis let's you find the switching point for multiple carrier scenarios or LTL, FTL trade-offs.
