Carrier Bidding & Auto-Booking
Classifies every new load between direct assignment and auction, notifies your best carriers by email, WhatsApp and voice, and issues the rate confirmation.
THE CONTEXT
Booking a carrier takes up to eight hours per load
Every load needs a dispatcher to check availability, negotiate a price and build the rate confirmation by hand. Average time-to-book runs 2 to 8 hours, even though repetitive loads on known lanes represent up to 60% of volume and need no human intervention at all.
THE SOLUTION
From new load to booked carrier without touching it
Silia evaluates every new load: when the lane is known and the preferred carrier is available, it books directly and issues the rate confirmation. Otherwise it opens an auction with top-scored carriers, captures offers by email, WhatsApp and voice, and picks a winner.
A rate negotiation, confirmed on the spot
Watch the agent close a carrier on price and trigger the rate confirmation.
