Procurement

Let’s make a deal
Gaining the greatest value from your transportation spend starts long before you have a load to route or a shipment to tender. It begins with getting the best possible rates for your lanes through a structured procurement process. RedPrairie Procurement functionality allows you to take a strategic approach to procurement that is more efficient, faster and produces better results while building improved relations with carriers.

Integrated rate download
Procured rates are automatically downloaded into the transportation execution database for use in rating loads

RedPrairie Procurement provides pre-defined templates for truckload (TL), less-than-truckload (LTL) and ocean carrier bids together with an integrated rate download function to populate the transportation execution database. The bid optimization functionality uses this information to determine the best carrier options for each lane while enabling you to model multiple transportation scenarios to reach the best overall approach for your business requirements.
