Over the past two years, RFP management has been extremely challenging as freight rates have risen to new all-time highs, giving rise to mini-bids. Developing and reviewing RFPs is a tedious process with limited visibility into the whole market. However, understanding the market dynamics in a shipper’s network helps ease the stress of the RFP management process.

Shippers’ transportation budgets are under immense pressure, and those responsible are focused on not blowing out the budget even as freight demand continues to grow almost daily. Tools that allow shippers to have actionable insights into data that is impacting their networks have become increasingly important during the past couple of years.
