Uploading your historical load data will help you maximize the benefits of C4. Our Scorecards tool enables you to capture load-to-carrier ratios, refine pricing in our pricing engine, and build projects around consistent lanes.
See steps below to upload your historical data:
1. Start by navigating to the Settings menu at the top right-hand corner of your screen. From there, drop down to the 'Automation Tools' section and select 'Transactions.'
2. Download the historical load template by clicking the 'Download the file template' link.
3. Open the file that appears in your downloads folder.
Most TMS allow you to export carrier information in this format for easy copy-pasting. To ensure a smooth upload, make sure to fill out all required fields in the template.
PLEASE NOTE: While the MC/DOT numbers and customer info are optional, providing them will allow us to accurately map your existing lanes to their corresponding carriers. Without this information, we can still import your historical data into Scorecards, but carrier details for specific lanes and customers won't be available.
Once your template is complete, save it and proceed to the following steps.
4. Scroll down and click 'Import Transactions.'
5. Click 'Choose File' and select the updated historical load template.
6. Click 'Upload' to begin the process. Once your historical data have been uploaded, the file will be marked 'Completed'.
