🚀 New features
Hey, hey! We're pretty pumped to let you in on a little news. (No, Flo isn’t pregnant) But, your carrier portal just got a big, fat update! Thrilled? So are we. Here’s what’s changed.
You can now:
Participate in spot tenders
See and edit your transport orders
Spot tender
Get an overview of all your shippers’ spot bids in a list view. To see more details, just click on one and you'll be redirected to a page with everything you need to know. It’s kinda like having intel. Here’s what you are able to see:
Prices (max price, target price, lowest price...)
Route
Material lines and handling units
Instructions
...
Based on this super handy info, you can decide whether the spot tender is a good one for you and at which price you’d like to execute it.
Once you've placed a bid, we'll inform you via email or via in-app notifications when you're underbid, when the spot tender is finished, or when you've won or lost it. What’s more fun than an online logistics auction? Not a whole heck of a lot. Let the games begin.
Max price: The maximum price, given by the shipper, that they’re willing to pay for the transport order. That's why you're not allowed to place a bid higher than this amount.
Target price: A price, given by the shipper, that makes you win the spot tender automatically. When you place a bid at this price, you're automatically awarded the spot and the transport order will be assigned to you. Cha-Ching!
Lowest price: If the shipper has enabled this setting, you'll see your competitor’s lowest bid. Increase your chances to win by placing a lower bid than this. Note: we don't allow you to place a bid with the same amount.
Transport orders
When you've won the spot tender (hooray!) or when a shipper has assigned a transport order to you, it'll appear in your transport order grid.
This list is fully customizable with our workviews (hide, show, move and lock the columns you want), search and filter.
Because nobody except Flo likes searching, we've added two things:
Smart filters: At the top of the page, you'll see some jazzy buttons to filter the transport orders that require action:
Confirm order
Book a slot
Add driver info and license plates
Update milestones
The next required action column: this column tells you what to do and allows you to do it in one click.
When you need more details about the transport order, just click it and you'll see a similar detail page as the one above. Here, you can also:
Assign a driver and add license plates
Update milestones
Upload documents
Add costs
Add weight
...
Notifications
Enable or disable your transport order and spot tender-related notifications and emails in your settings. These settings are on the user level, so set it up the way you want!
🔧 Bug fixes
Yeah!! We didn't need to fix any bugs in this version!
