Overview
Market intelligence tools can be incredibly complex, and they often fail to provide information relevant to a particular brokerage. We created the GS Network Tab to provide you with a straightforward, user-friendly alternative, so you can easily keep tabs on changing market conditions.
The GS Network tab shows market trends on a lane-by-lane basis. It includes the largest 1000 lanes in the GS Network by volume, so you can see how prices have moved over the past 60 days. You can also view stats for your own brokerage.
With the GS Network tab, you can see how your brokerage is performing relative to the market, or filter by features such as origin and transport type for a more precise picture. It's useful when you're expanding into a new market, because you can filter by KMA for a quick picture of market conditions in the area.
