Autotender workflows that move freight without manual follow-up

Stop chasing carrier acceptance across every tender. Agistix automates the entire workflow, moving through a configurable carrier waterfall until a shipment is accepted.

Tender automation, configured your way

  • Waterfall configuration and acceptance windows

    Award logic and acceptance timeframes that flex based on shipment urgency and carrier strategy.

    • Supports waterfall tender logic based on lowest cost, preferred carrier rank, or a hybrid of both
    • Acceptance windows configurable from 15 minutes to multiple days depending on shipment urgency and lane complexity
    • When a carrier doesn't accept within the defined window, the next carrier in the waterfall receives the tender automatically

  • Batch tendering

    Tender hundreds or thousands of shipments at once via API or file upload.

    • Batch processing available via API and CSV or Excel upload
    • Waterfall logic runs independently on every shipment in the batch
    • Each shipment moves through the configured fallback sequence without manual intervention

  • Automated notifications and audit trail

    Customizable acceptance alerts and a complete record of every award decision.

    • Notifies the team when a shipment is accepted or when the waterfall requires attention
    • Every award decision, acceptance, expiration, and fallback event logged against the shipment record
    • Full visibility into how each shipment was tendered and ultimately awarded

FAQs

  • Can acceptance windows be configured by shipment type or lane?

    Yes. Agistix supports configurable acceptance windows from 15 minutes to multiple days, and windows can be set based on shipment urgency, lane, mode, or carrier. This gives freight teams the flexibility to run tight tender cycles for time-sensitive shipments and longer windows for complex or high-value lanes.

  • Can different business units have different waterfall configurations?

    Yes. Agistix supports per-business-unit waterfall configurations, allowing different teams or divisions to define their own award logic, carrier rank order, and acceptance timeframes while maintaining centralized visibility and reporting across the organization.

  • How does autotender work alongside spot quoting?

    Autotender and spot quoting work together as part of the same freight execution workflow. Spot quotes surface competitive market rates, and autotender executes the award process based on configured waterfall logic – lowest cost, preferred carrier rank, or a hybrid of both. Together they give freight teams a complete rate-to-award workflow without manual intervention at either step.
