Allocating the best carrier

How do I make sure the best carrier is selected after my spot tender is complete?

No more 1-1 emails because from now on, you can easily follow up on the spot tender via the new spot tender status column in the transport order grid. This column can be enabled in the grid via the control tower role, in the columns section.

To access additional information, click on the status and a flyover will open with:

  1. Number of participating carriers

  2. Number of missing carriers

  3. Lowest price

  4. Per carrier
    Price (in the correct price format and currency)
    Collection time
    Delivery time

When the spot tender is ongoing, you are always allowed to

  • Choose a carrier

  • Cancel the spot tender

  • Relaunch the spot tender with the same, or with another template

Assignment of the carrier

Based on the settings of the template, the cheapest carrier will automatically be assigned, or you will be asked to choose a carrier.

When the carrier is allocated:

  • The awarded carrier will be assigned to the transport order

  • The cost will be calculated and added to the transport order

  • The Transport order will be activated when the setting was enabled in the carrier allocation rules

  • The spot tender information can still be accessed via the flyover
