Helpful information to know when utilizing our RFP Tool
You can access the RFP results in two ways:
1. Go to the drop-down 'Settings' menu in the upper right-hand corner. Then hover over 'Automation Tools' and select 'RFPs'.
From here, you'll be able to monitor the upload status as well as download the results directly from the platform.
To download the results once the status is 'Completed': select the RFP you want to download, go to 'Actions', and click 'Download'.
2. The second way to access the RFP results is via your email inbox. Shortly after submission, an email will be sent to the user's email address from Cargo Chief citing that the 'Pricing Job' has been completed. Open and view pricing data for all lanes within the RFP.
Here is an example of the RFP results:
Instead of running a 'Capacity' search for each of these lanes, you are able to capture the pricing data we have available based on the information provided in the template.
Helpful Tips:
- Pricing accuracy is best within a 7-10 day window. If working on a bid that is set to start in the future, we recommend running the RFP multiple times leading up to the submission date.
- Pickup or delivery date unknown? Use today's date for pickup and add a few days for delivery in order to process the RFP. Dates are required fields in the template, as our pricing model is based on the pickup date.
- Make sure lanes are longer than 75 miles, otherwise, you will get an error.
