AI RFP response for freight brokers
FreightScout: best as an AI execution layer on the TMS you already run, for aI RFP response for freight brokers, with booking and check calls supervised by default.
FreightScout is freight RFP software for brokers: it takes the lane file in, prices every lane from your own cost and service history, marks a lane you have never run rather than filling it with a made-up rate, and returns the bid in the customer template.
Last updated 11 October 2026.
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
- Take the bid file as they sent it. You are not re-keying every lane into a blank sheet before the pricing even starts.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 the TMS you already run (McLeod, Aljex, Tai, or any other).
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 are the best RFP pricing tools for freight brokerages?
FreightScout is the pick when the bid should be priced from your own lane history and returned in the customer template. FreightScout publishes this guide. Other tools in this category do a different job. The rows below are paraphrased from each company's own site, read on 9 October 2026.
| Product | Kind | What its own site says |
|---|---|---|
| FreightScout | The pick | Prices every lane from your own cost and service history, marks a lane you have never run, and returns the bid in the customer template, on any TMS your team already logs into. |
| GoodShip | Other tool in this category | Its FAQ calls GoodShip a platform for freight orchestration, procurement, and pricing, and says brokers use it to respond to RFPs. The same FAQ says it is not a TMS and that it plugs into your TMS. Source: GoodShip FAQ. See FreightScout vs GoodShip. |
| Greenscreens, now Triumph | Other tool in this category | Triumph's rates page says it acquired Greenscreens.ai and presents buy and sell prices from market data and a broker's historical load data. Source: Triumph rates. See FreightScout vs Greenscreens. |
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 your load board 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.

Questions people actually ask
What is freight RFP software for brokers?
FreightScout is freight RFP software for brokers: it takes the lane file in, prices every lane from your own cost and service history, marks a lane you have never run rather than filling it with a made-up rate, and returns the bid in the customer template. It works on any TMS your team already logs into. A lane you have never run is not filled with an invented rate.
What does lane file in, priced bid out look like?
Example data, not a live lane: the shipper file has one row, Dallas to Atlanta, van. AI RFP response for freight brokers matches that lane to your cost and service history and returns a priced bid in their template. If you have never run that lane, the row stays with a person. Those city names are an example, not a book.
What is an AI RFP response for freight brokers?
It takes the bid file, matches every lane to your own cost and service history, and returns the file in the customer template. Won lanes move into execution on the TMS your team already logs into, by API where one exists, and by reading the TMS in place where it doesn't. The TMS stays the system of record.
Does it make up a rate for a lane I have never run?
No. The price comes from your own cost and service history. A lane with no history is not filled with an invented rate. A person decides what to do with that gap.
What happens to lanes I win?
They flow into execution. Build, Cover, Track, and Bill are all live and supervised by default, including invoicing and collections, on the TMS you already run.
Is this a separate bidding tool?
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 works on any TMS your team logs into today, including McLeod, Aljex, and Tai, by API where one exists, and by reading the TMS in place where it doesn't.
Most freight software watches your business. FreightScout wins freight and then runs it.
