In today’s stressed global economy, the focus on logistics and the supply chain industry is like never before. The use of AI Bots to stay competitive is more imperative than ever before.

Transportation and logistics companies are increasingly being pressed by freight forwarders who are demanding higher prices for their services.

Consequently, the only way for these companies to keep pace and grow profits is by automating internal bid processes through RPA (Robotic Process Automation).

RPA can create efficiencies with operational tasks such as load bidding through a Transportation Management System (TMS) web portal. Once, this was a human-only driven process, but now, bidding can be done with RPA and it can deliver a real competitive advantage.

In one such recent successful use case, CampTek Software automated the load bid board process for a large transit logistics company. This bot posts 1,000’s of bids per day across 20+ customers on several different TMS systems.

The Solution

• Pre-built bots for many TMS bid boards that will work with all others
• Calculates bid criteria and profit margins
• Adheres to business rules and changing metrics
• Bids on complex boards (i.e. Auction)
• Can process bids on scheduled basis, weekends or 24/7
• Performs tasks in seconds
• Provides a custom dashboard for statistics, analysis, trends, and reports

And most importantly, the bot wins more bids faster than its human counterpart.
