RFQ and RFP automation

A shipper's RFQ in. A priced sheet out.

Drop the customer's RFQ or RFP file, or paste the lanes from their email. Grakken reads their columns, asks what their words mean, and prices every lane on live DAT rates with your markup on top. A bid that took a day goes back the same hour.

Answer every freight RFQ, however it arrives

Shippers send bids in their own format: Excel files with their own column names, PDFs, or a list of lanes in an email. Grakken reads the sheet the way they wrote it. Tell it once that DRY means van and TEMP means reefer, and it remembers for that sheet.

Lane pricing on today's market

Every lane gets a live DAT rate, so your bid reflects today's market and not last quarter's. Your Quoting Rules add the markup you choose, by lane, equipment or customer, before anything goes back.

From one-off RFQs to annual freight bids

Use it for a single request for quote, a spot RFQ with a handful of lanes, or an annual RFP with hundreds of lanes. The output is the customer's own sheet, filled in and ready to send.

Questions

What is a freight RFQ?

A request for quote: a shipper asks brokers and carriers to price one or more lanes. An RFP (request for proposal) is usually a larger, often annual, bid. Grakken handles both.

Can it read the shipper's own spreadsheet?

Yes. Grakken reads the customer's own columns and wording, and asks you about anything unclear before pricing.

Where do the rates come from?

From your own DAT account, priced lane by lane, with your quoting rules added on top.

How long does a big RFP take?

The pricing itself runs in minutes. You review the sheet and send it.
