Meet Ana
Head of Global Freight Procurement for a Fortune 1000 Enterprise
Ana needs to ensure 100% service reliability & optimize freight spend through optimal carrier selection through the procurement event. However, she is constrained by generic procurement tools that lacks freight centricity in terms of rate configurations or RFQ templates, lack of intelligence be freight rate benchmarking, carrier scorecards or ability to perform complex bid analysis & scenario planning making it a cumbersome manual process & sub-optimal.

Be it spot or contract buys, the current RFQ process is so manually intensive and complex across a spectrum of services (Ocean,Air, Parcel etc.) as my generic sourcing tool does not handle freight centric procurement
Automate RFQ Creation

Leverage Pre-bid intelligence across lanes to automate your RFQ process with pre-configured RFQ templates based on historical patterns .You can also execute your RFQ through automated workflows across multiple activities including lane configuration, event scheduling , vendor selection based on lanes etc driving superior productivity and autonomizing the RFQ process seamlessly.
Intelligent Bid Analysis & Negotiations
Bid analysis and negotiation process is sub-optimal as I do not have access to market intelligence around rate benchmarks or carrier performance. Also, the bid analysis is complex given the accessorial charges differ by services !

Intelligent Bid Analysis & Negotiations
With AI-powered anomaly detection, validate all carrier bids for outliers and automatically reject invalid bids. With market intelligence around freight rate benchmarking and carrier performance scorecards, leverage counter bid recommendations to negotiate better and identifying the best carrier pool against your lanes. Collaborate with your carriers around the procurement event in real-time for faster execution.
My freight contracts are stored are documents and are siloed with the rates & charges contracted not integrated to my generic procurement tool. I am unable to keep tab on rate updates or renew expiring lanes contracted
Integrated Contract & Rate Management

Post procurement event, all your contracts and rates are digitized in a structured format with audit trail on any rate changes through a configurable rate manager. Y Pando helps you to manage your complex accessorial charges effortlessly and you can leverage a simple low code/ no code option to manage your accessorial charges definition and calculations against your freight contracts.
Autonomous Spot Procurement
Given freight rate volatility, the frequency of sourcing events have increased! As my ERP/ Order Management System is disconnected with my generic freight procurement tool, I am unable to respond to any spike in demand or freight rate changes to initiate spot buys quickly because of cumbersome RFQ process.

Autonomous Spot Procurement
With integration to ERP/ Order Management system, you can automate your spot procurement with automated workflows leveraging pre-configured RFQ templates to quickly place your request in the market. You can leverage favourable market rates or respond to any expedited dispatch requests in a jiffy.
My generic procurement tool neither offer insights around freight spend by multiple dimensions nor any historical bid data available to help in building a data-driven lane-level strategy. This impacts my decisions around spot vs long term commit, expanding my carrier pool or negotiating effectively on current bids.
Freight Sourcing Analytics & Insights
My generic procurement tool neither offer insights around freight spend by multiple dimensions nor any historical bid data available to help in building a data-driven lane-level strategy. This impacts my decisions around spot vs long term commit, expanding my carrier pool or negotiating effectively on current bids.
Get a bird’s eye view of freight sourcing across multiple dimensions – by procurement event, by freight charges, by lanes or carriers to derive direct cost savings. You can also leverage AI/ML capabilities to determine optimal RFQ cycle, spot vs long term, identify bid inconsistencies across similar shipments & leverage dashboards around rate progression, lane wise analytics, carrier wise performance to drive data driven decisions in your procurement cycle.
Sustainability & Freight Sourcing
There is a significant mandate to scale on sustainability practices and it starts from a pool of sustainability focused carriers. Given limitations in tools we have, I am not able to factor in sustainability metrics like emissions, fuel efficiency, sustainability certifications etc.
