How it works

1. SET UP

In 10 minutes, upload list of chosen carriers, brokers, and forwarders (we're broker and carrier-agnostic).

In a few clicks, request spot or long-term bid pricing from existing partners—trucking or international.

3. PARTNER RESPONSE

Freight partners receive an easy-to-use landing page to submit pricing for the quote or bid—no logging in.

4. COMPARE + AWARD

Receive real-time rates and compare against industry benchmarks. Pick winning rate and award, in one click.

5. MANAGE + DISPATCH SHIPMENTS

For awarded freight, dispatch and manage active loads with centralized chat, status updates and documents.

6. GAIN INSIGHTS

Instantly analyze your freight spend on a per lane, per broker, or holistic basis. Be strategic to reduce costs.

Before using Portex, I did everything manually—messaging brokers directly via email or phone. It used to take 12 hours, but now I only spend 45 minutes because it takes the work out of my hands and lets technology do the work for me.
