What Is Freight Procurement?
Traditionally, shippers manually collect quotes from hundreds of vendors, standardize the formats themselves, and cross-check rates by hand before awarding. Freight procurement software replaces that manual cycle: it automates RFQ distribution, standardizes carrier responses into one format, flags pricing errors before award, and turns a multi-week tender into a process measured in days.

Your Procurement Team’s Daily Reality
Slow, error-prone tendering and rate comparison
No real-time vendor scorecards or performance tracking
Lack of automation in workflows and approvals
Limited visibility into supplier performance
Inefficient contract and pricing management
Weak collaboration and communication
Fragmented, inconsistent data across systems
No centralized source for accurate insights
Limited ERP integration, causing data silos
Transportation Procurement Software Built
for Every Mode
Ocean Freight Procurement
Ocean tenders run on contract-vs-spot tradeoffs, carrier space guarantees, and rates that can shift sharply between RFQ and award. Freightos Procure benchmarks ocean quotes against FBX market data at the point of award, so you can catch a carrier response that’s already out of step with the market before you sign.
Air Freight Procurement
Air capacity moves faster than ocean, with pricing shaped by weight, volume, and short-term demand spikes rather than fixed contracts. Tenders need shorter cycles and more frequent rate refreshes to stay accurate. Freightos Procure benchmarks air quotes against FAX data, so pricing reflects current capacity, not last quarter’s rates.
FTL Procurement
FTL tenders involve far more carriers per lane and rates that swing with regional capacity, fuel costs, and seasonality. Comparing hundreds of carrier responses by hand is where most manual errors happen. Freightos Procure standardizes every FTL bid into one format, so lane-level comparisons stay consistent across your entire network.

The Sanity Check That Pays for Itself
Freightos Procure’s built-in sanity checks automatically validate and flag every rate submission against predefined rules for format, range, currency, and surcharge logic. No manual cleansing. No spreadsheet audits. No costly surprises at the award.
From Months to Days
Freightos Procure compresses the entire tender lifecycle from RFQ creation to carrier response collection to scenario analysis and award. What previously required months of spreadsheet management, manual carrier communication, and error-prone evaluation now runs through automated workflows.
Market-Informed Procurement
Benchmark carrier quotes against FBX/FAX market data to identify outliers and validate pricing. Use real-time market intelligence from Freightos Terminal to inform your tender strategy, set target rates, and evaluate whether carrier responses reflect actual market conditions.
Save Time With Seamless Logistics Integration
Centralize your procurement data and maintain a single source of truth for all stakeholders. Connect effortlessly to any ERP, TMS, or other software in your supply chain ecosystem.
Freight Procurement Software Features
Automated RFQ and Tender Management
Launch RFQs to 200+ carriers and thousands of LSPs in minutes instead of weeks. Clone last year’s tender, adjust it, and rerun – no rebuilding from scratch each cycle.
Multi-Mode Procurement: Ocean, Air and Road
Run tenders across ocean, air, and road from one platform instead of juggling separate processes per mode. Every carrier response comes back in the same standardized format, regardless of mode.
Carrier and Forwarder Bid Comparison
See every quote side by side, with no manual cleanup. Compare on cost, transit time, or sustainability, and let automation calculate the optimal award scenario across hundreds of options.
Rate Benchmarking at Award Time
Check carrier quotes against live FBX and FAX market data before you award, so you catch outliers and confirm pricing reflects actual market conditions and not just the lowest bid.
Contract and Rate-Book Management
Keep contracted rates, surcharges, and expirations in one place instead of scattered spreadsheets. Track every rate change automatically so nothing lapses or gets applied incorrectly.
Integration with TMS and ERP Systems
Connect procurement data directly to your existing ERP or TMS, so award decisions flow straight into execution without manual re-entry or a second source of truth.

How can Freightos Procure improve efficiency in my logistics operations?
Using our Freight Calculator, you can speed up logistics by quickly calculating transport costs and finding the best transport modes. It enriches rates with internal and external data, allowing you to make informed decisions based on historical and actual rates.
Does the rate management system handle different modes of transport?
The platform supports all transport modes, including ocean, air, road, rail, and parcel shipping, and it offers customizable templates for each mode.
Does Freightos Procure integrate with our existing systems?
Our Freight Procurement Software offers flexible API integration options and can connect with major ERP and TMS systems.
What makes Freightos Procure different from general procurement tools?
Unlike general procurement tools, this Freight Procurement Software is specifically designed for freight procurement. It handles complex logistics-specific requirements and offers specialized templates for different transport modes.
Has Shipsta become Freightos Procure?
Freightos Procure was formerly known as Shipsta. The Shipsta platform and capabilities have been incorporated into Freightos Procure, which is the freight procurement solution within the Freightos Enterprise suite. As Freightos Procure™, we’ll continue to innovate and enhance our freight procurement solution, helping you optimize freight spend, streamline RFQs and tendering processes, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.
What is freight procurement software?
Freight procurement software is a platform that automates how you run freight RFQs and tenders. Instead of manually collecting quotes across spreadsheets and email, it lets you publish a request for pricing, compare carrier and forwarder rates side by side, and award the best provider for each lane, whether you need short-term spot pricing or long-term contracts. Good freight procurement software centralizes the process, manages your vendor relationships, and makes rate discovery fast instead of manual.
How do you speed up the freight procurement cycle?
Freight procurement software speeds up the freight procurement cycle by replacing manual spreadsheet tendering with automated RFQ workflows, instant rate parsing, and automated response validation. This compresses months-long procurement tenders into just days by allowing teams to launch 2,000-lane RFQs to over 200 carriers in six clicks, automatically clean bid data, and evaluate optimal award scenarios without manual spreadsheet work.
How does freight procurement software automate the RFP process?
Freight procurement software automates the RFP process by providing standardized tendering templates, automated bid data validation, and multi-scenario logic for carrier selection. The platform automatically ingests carrier responses into a uniform format—eliminating manual spreadsheet cleanup—while executing built-in sanity checks against predefined currency, range, and surcharge rules before calculating the optimal award mix.
How do you reduce freight procurement costs?
Reducing freight procurement costs requires benchmarking carrier tender responses against real-time market rate data to identify pricing outliers and negotiate competitive contract terms. Automated procurement tools cut freight spend by up to 10% by running scenario analyses that balance cost, transit time, and carrier performance, while built-in validation checks eliminate costly spreadsheet billing errors at award.
How do market conditions affect contract freight procurement strategy?
Market conditions dictate contract freight procurement strategy by shifting the optimal balance between fixed long-term commitments and dynamic, index-linked spot allocations. Volatile market rates often cause contracted lanes to fail; leveraging real-time freight market intelligence like the Freightos Baltic Index (FBX) allows shippers to set target rates, adjust tendering schedules, and adapt contract duration to prevailing market trends.
Can AI optimize freight procurement?
AI optimizes freight procurement by processing complex carrier bid scenarios, detecting pricing anomalies across thousands of trade lanes, and forecasting rate trends. Autonomous procurement features replace manual evaluation by instantly running multi-criteria award calculations across cost, service quality, and carbon footprint metrics, ensuring enterprise logistics buyers secure optimal carrier allocations with minimal manual effort.
