AI RFP response for freight brokers

AI RFP response for freight brokers is FreightScout taking the bid file, matching every lane to your own cost and service history, and returning it in the customer's template. FreightScout does it on top of McLeod, Aljex, or Tai. The TMS stays the system of record. Won lanes flow into execution. It is not a TMS and it is not a load board.

This work sits with customer sales. See how lane quotes come off your own history, and how you keep the account before the bid. Plans are on the pricing page.

What it does

1. Take the bid file as they sent it. You are not re-keying every lane into a blank sheet before the pricing even starts.
2. Match every lane to your own history. Cost and service on lanes you have run, from the TMS you keep. A lane you have never touched is marked as such, not filled with a made-up rate.
3. Return it in the customer's template. The file goes back in the shape they asked for, so the response is usable on their side.
4. Flow won lanes into execution. A lane you win is not a trophy in a folder. It becomes freight Build, Cover, Track, and Bill already know how to run, on McLeod, Aljex, or Tai.

The same book that priced the bid is the book that will haul it. That is the point of doing the RFP inside the product that also runs the load.

What stays with your people

Build, Cover, Track, and Bill are all live and supervised by default, including invoicing and collections. Your people still own the account, the exception, and any call you would not hand off. Booking the carrier and shipper outreach run supervised by default. A broker can switch either one to autopilot whenever they want, per team and per action. Every action is logged and reversible. A lane you want to no-bid, a price you want to shade for a relationship, and the conversation with the shipper stay with your people. Scout brings the history into their template. You decide what you will stand behind.

What it doesn't do

FreightScout is not a TMS and it is not a load board. It is not a broker and it is not a carrier. FreightScout does not replace DAT, Highway, Truckstop, or your accounting system. It does not invent a rate or a detention amount. A number over your max pay goes to a person. It does not invent a rate for a lane you have never run. It does not submit the bid in your name until the action is one you have chosen to let run.

What is an AI RFP response for freight brokers?

Does it make up a rate for a lane I have never run?

No. It is part of customer sales in the same product that runs the load. FreightScout is not a TMS and it is not a load board. It writes back to McLeod, Aljex, or Tai.
