Dynamic Freight Pricing Engine
Takes an RFQ with lane, equipment and date and returns three prices in under two seconds: aggressive, balanced and high margin, with a guaranteed floor.
THE CONTEXT
Every quote depends on manual tables and gut feel
Answering an RFQ with a price takes 15 minutes to 2 hours: the pricing team checks tables, estimates carrier costs and decides from experience. Prices stay static even as lane demand and carrier availability shift every single day across all three business verticals.
THE SOLUTION
Three prices calculated in under two seconds flat
Silia looks up the base price per lane, applies demand, carrier availability and pickup urgency rules, and enforces the margin floor per vertical. The internal API returns three options and feeds the bidding, backhauls and sales copilot agents downstream.
KEY CAPABILITIES
Four capabilities that turn pricing into an edge
Market rules
Adjusts the base price for demand pressure on the lane, scarcity of available carriers and how close the pickup date is to booking.
Margin floor
Guarantees that no price ever leaves below the expected buy cost plus the minimum margin configured for each business vertical.
API for other agents
Exposes an internal endpoint consumed by bidding, backhauls and the sales copilot: an RFQ goes in, three priced options come out.

Logs the outcome of every quote, feeds the pricing team dashboard and builds the labeled data that trains the next engine version.
