Parade
Leverage enhanced AI carrier profiles to effectively evaluate lane qualifications. Maintain comprehensive records of carrier preferences, skills, and engagement levels to improve future booking methods. In addition, automatically provide targeted chances to reconnect with and engage your most dependable carriers. Scrutinize both historical and current pricing data to guide bidding and negotiations during request-for-proposal (RFP) processes.

We gather capacity data from multiple sources, including emails, past load records, and carrier onboarding information, to pinpoint carriers with available trucks for each shipment. Present suitable loads to your carriers through their preferred channels—whether that be via email, web platforms, or partner networks—before they secure alternative bookings. Engaging in one-time carrier relationships can be financially burdensome; with Parade, you can significantly lower onboarding costs by building strong connections with essential carriers and matching them with loads that fit their needs. By nurturing long-term partnerships, you not only achieve cost savings but also improve operational efficiency through better load alignment.
