Transforming Freight Procurement with Emerge AI: Automation for Spot and Contract Success

AI & Automation

As automation and AI become more prevalent within the logistics space, using their functionality can transform your operations like never before. The integration of logistics and AI is not just a trend but a transformative shift, enabling companies to streamline processes, enhance decision-making, and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market. Leading this revolution is ProcureOS, our platform equipped with advanced AI-driven tools that optimize both contract and spot procurement strategies.

Under the hood of Emerge AI

Emerge AI serves as a powerful engine for your spot and contract procurement efforts, offering tools that not only optimize procurement scenarios but also benchmark freight decisions against extensive market data. Powered by machine learning and large language models (LLMs), Emerge AI uses vast data sets to match lanes with the ideal carriers, making complex tasks more manageable and decision-making more precise.

Contract freight is not about the lowest cost - It's about aligning carriers with your strategy

While tools like Excel can help you identify the lowest rate for a given lane, a robust procurement strategy involves more nuanced considerations than simply the cheapest option. This is where ProcureOS significantly enhances your RFP process. Our Scenario Builder feature is a key asset, allowing you to model various contract spend scenarios that go beyond just cost. Think of it as having a team of data analysts at your disposal—set your custom rules, and let Emerge AI handle the rest.

Use Scenario Builder to integrate countless rules for granular control over all lanes

Combine variables such as location, carrier metrics, equipment type, lane incumbency, and target rates—and Emerge AI will automate the analysis to present you with the optimal options. With endless possibilities for scenario exploration, you can easily compare different outcomes and select the best fit for your business. By automating these processes, Scenario Builder lets you concentrate on strategic decisions without getting bogged down in time-consuming data analysis. The result? Significant savings and better operational performance, all within a user-friendly platform.

Spot freight can be time-consuming to source - Emerge AI enables you to build reliable automations you can trust

In addition to optimizing contract procurement, ProcureOS also offers Rate Pulse, specifically designed to give unique spot insights & automations to your operations. Rate Pulse is a benchmarking tool that suggests an at-market rate for your shipment. This innovative tool puts spot intelligence at your fingertips, backed by reliable data for your lanes. But Rate Pulse doesn’t stop at market benchmarking. It also personalizes insights based on your unique buying characteristics, offering tailored recommendations that align with your business objectives. Compare bids or set automations that increase a book-it-now price to quickly cover your load with market-aligned rates, helping you secure a carrier without leaving money on the table.


ProcureOS frees you up to focus on what matters most

By leveraging the power of AI and automation through ProcureOS, businesses can transform their procurement strategies, driving efficiency, cost savings, and better decision-making. Whether you’re optimizing complex RFP processes with Scenario Builder or refining your spot freight operations with Rate Pulse, Emerge AI provides the tools needed to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving logistics landscape.
