Once your basic data are imported you can make a perfect bid in six steps:
Scan in the enquiry:
the shipment data compiled by your customers can be directly imported or entered via the interface.
Calculate shipment costs:
Calculate your company’s actual network costs based on the data you have already stored (transport relations, carrier types, additional costs such as hazardous goods or express surcharge, etc.).
Create customer tariff:
Create your target customer tariff based on the calculated shipment costs. Use a stored tariff for this (e.g. your standard tariff) or create a tariff structure specific to the enquiry, depending on zones, classes and cost basis.
Review margin:
A tariff-based and shipment-based profit analysis is available in graphic and tabular form.
Review and approve bid:
the system can check the consistency of the process to assure the quality of the bid content. The final is approval given via the authorisation rules which you define.
Create bid documents:
create customer-specific and checked documents from the Excel and Word templates.
