Constraint-based bid optimization and analysis

Long-term partnerships with carriers who can help you lower costs and improve customer service are vital to maintaining a demand-driven supply chain.

SSA Transportation Procurement is what you need to manage annual shipper solicitation of carrier bids to supply transportation services. It improves data sharing, encourages win-win negotiations, and broadens analysis to include service quality and cost. Selection decisions are enabled that take into account the most efficient logistical routing for best cost, profit, and customer service results.

SSA Transportation Procurement helps companies like yours:

- Gain visibility across multiple carriers - Reduce total transportation costs - Secure additional capacity for peak transportation periods - Create core carrier programs - Perform contract negotiations

SSA Transportation Procurement helps you determine the best combination of bids that minimize costs across the transportation network while satisfying constraints such as price, service level, shipper/carrier requirements, volume discounts, and lane bundling opportunities. Carrier bid optimization reduces procurement expense, while improving transportation service and providing greater visibility into transportation demand.
