Run freight procurement through a controlled digital bidding process. Invite forwarders, receive confidential freight quotes, compare offers, track bidder rankings and award shipments from one platform.
Shipzy helps exporters move freight buying away from calls, emails, WhatsApp and spreadsheets into a structured, competitive and auditable process.
Bring Structure to Freight Procurement
Large exporters may work with dozens or even hundreds of freight forwarders across routes, ports and countries.
When freight rates are collected manually, procurement teams often face:
Shipzy Freight Procurement helps centralize this process from freight requirement to final forwarder selection.
Maintain Your Complete Forwarder Network
Import or maintain your existing freight forwarder and logistics vendor database in Shipzy.
For each forwarder, businesses can maintain relevant vendor information and use the same network repeatedly for future freight requirements.
This allows enterprises working with hundreds of logistics partners to maintain one controlled forwarder master instead of scattered contact lists.
Create a Freight Requirement
Start the bidding process by creating the shipment or freight requirement.
The requirement can include information such as:
This gives all invited forwarders the same base requirement before they submit their commercial offer.
Choose How You Want to Invite Forwarders
Not every freight requirement needs to go to every logistics vendor.
Shipzy supports different bidding approaches.
Open Bidding
Send the freight requirement to all eligible forwarders in your approved network.
This is useful when the goal is broader competition and maximum market participation.
Selected Bidding
Invite only specific or shortlisted forwarders.
This is useful when:
The exporter decides who can participate in each freight bid.
Forwarders Submit Their Bids Digitally
Invited forwarders can submit their freight quotation against the requirement.
Instead of sending quotations separately through email or WhatsApp, responses are captured against the same bidding event.
This gives the exporter one place to review:
Confidential Bidding Between Forwarders
Forwarders cannot see each other's bid amount.
Shipzy keeps individual freight quotations confidential.
A participating forwarder cannot see:
This helps maintain a fairer procurement environment and prevents vendors from simply copying or undercutting visible competitor quotations.
Rank Visibility Without Showing Competitor Prices
Forwarders can understand their competitive position without seeing another bidder's amount.
For example, a forwarder may see:
Current Rank: 1
or:
Current Rank: 4
This lets the bidder understand whether their current offer is competitive while keeping competitors' actual commercial offers private.
The result is a more controlled bidding process:
Competitive visibility without commercial disclosure.
Exporters Get Complete Bid Visibility
While bidders see only their own offer and current ranking, the exporter can review the complete bidding picture.
The procurement or logistics team can compare:
This helps decision-makers evaluate multiple forwarders from one screen instead of manually comparing separate quotations.
Compare More Than Just the Lowest Freight Rate
The lowest commercial bid may not always be the best logistics decision.
Shipzy allows the procurement process to remain structured so exporters can evaluate the selected forwarder based on business requirements.
Depending on the company's procurement process, evaluation can consider factors such as:
The system supports the procurement process while the final decision remains with the exporter.
Award the Freight Requirement
Once commercial evaluation is complete, the exporter can select the preferred forwarder and award the freight requirement.
This closes the bidding cycle with a clear record of:
Requirement → Invited Forwarders → Submitted Bids → Comparison → Final Selection
This creates much stronger procurement traceability than informal rate collection.
One Controlled Freight Procurement Flow
The complete Shipzy freight bidding workflow can be represented as:
Create Freight Requirement
Every step remains connected to the same procurement event.
Better Control for Large Forwarder Networks
For exporters working with 100, 200 or even 500+ logistics vendors, freight procurement can become difficult to manage through traditional communication.
Shipzy helps businesses create a structured vendor network where procurement teams can quickly identify and invite the relevant forwarders for each route.
This reduces dependency on individual employees maintaining personal forwarder lists and negotiation histories.
Improve Competition Without Losing Confidentiality
Competitive procurement works best when vendors know they are competing, but do not have access to competitors' sensitive commercial information.
Shipzy's rank-based bidding model helps create this balance.
Better Freight Procurement Visibility for Management
Management should be able to understand how freight vendors are selected without relying only on the logistics buyer's explanation.
A structured freight procurement process can provide better visibility into:
This supports stronger governance and review of freight procurement decisions.
Reduce Manual Freight Negotiation
Traditional freight procurement often involves:
Call → Email → WhatsApp → Excel Comparison → Follow-Up → Revised Rate → Manual Approval
As shipment volume grows, this becomes difficult to track.
Shipzy moves this process into a structured digital workflow where requirements, bids and comparisons remain connected.
This can help reduce:
