These carrier offers seamlessly integrate back into Tai TMS, streamlining the process for enhanced efficiency and providing brokers with real-time visibility into the status and availability of their freight. This process not only provides brokers with an expanded array of carrier options but also streamlines the bidding and engagement process, ensuring they can find the perfect fit for their loads at the right price.

The pricing engine in C4 is designed to provide accurate and up-to-date market rates, ensuring brokers make informed pricing decisions. By leveraging real-time data and reacting to market changes before loads are picked up, the pricing engine helps brokers avoid overpaying carriers and stay competitive. This results in improved profit margins and better control over pricing, making it a valuable tool for brokers looking to enhance their rate management capabilities.
