Auctions and request for quotations are functionalities through which Clients select transport/logistics companies to fulfill the transportation of specific cargo. Both methods for obtaining offers/quotations are time-limited, and the deadline for submitting offers is visible in the details of the auction/RFQ after clicking the "Bid" button.



These two functionalities also differ in how the transportation company is selected:


  • Auction: After the auction deadline, the company that has provided the best rate is assigned to the task of the "Carrier," thus securing the transportation for execution.
  • Request for Quotation: The Client selects a company based on the received quotations, to which they will assign the task for execution. In this case, the submission deadline for quotations does not determine the selection of the transportation company.


Note: Once an offer is submitted, it cannot be increased; only a lower offer may be provided.
