Spot Rates

Spot Rates

Alpha-TMS is designed in a modular way so that you only pay for the functionality that you truly need. With our "Spot Rates" module separate rates can be quickly requested from carriers, when for example no contract rates are available.

Why?

Sometimes a rate is needed for an incidental or project-based transport for which no rates have been agreed upon yet. The temptation is great to only request rates from one known carrier because it is time-consuming to contact or call multiple carriers. As a result, shippers often do not get the best option in terms of price, speed, and quality.

How does it work?

In alpha-TMS, shippers can determine which carriers have access to their freight environment. Carriers, in turn, can indicate their interest in spot requests and for which routes or countries. Therefore the Spot Rate module, spot requests allows you to easily request quotations from relevant carriers. Carriers receive a notification and can provide a freight price in alpha-TMS. All received prices are displayed in a clear overview. The best offer can be selected and a transportation order can be placed in combination with the Order module. The carrier selected immediately receives a notification of the order, and other carriers automatically receive feedback their offer is not considered.
