Purpose-built for freight tenders. Fast where it counts, rigorous where it matters.Shippers decide which bid to accept. Carriers understand what they're bidding on. One platform, both.
Pick your side to see the flow
Know which bid to accept — and defend it line by line.
Sourcing happens elsewhere. Execution happens in your TMS. The decision in between is aclRate. Our platform turns your shipment history and carrier bids into a clear award recommendation, ranked by a formula where the same inputs always give the same result. Data errors are caught before they cost you.
Quote more RFPs, in less time — without a pricing team.
An RFP lands as a messy file. aclRate turns it into lanes you can quote — fast. Our platform reads it, maps it to your rate geography, and shows you in minutes which lanes you can price and which to decline. Set your margins and floor prices once — every lane is priced with your profit protected.
Early days, on purpose
We're pre-launch. Both modules are built, and you can walk through either one with a founder — using your own files or our sample data. You talk to the people building it.
If this sounds like your freight,
aclRate is for you
aclRate is a freight procurement platform for growing European shippers who run competitive ground tenders — teams too small for an enterprise sourcing suite, and too serious to keep awarding freight from a spreadsheet.
Cross-border ground lanes with regional and local carriers.
A few people owning procurement alongside operations.
Audit-ready and defensible — a full award trail, with road-toll exposure and carbon cost in the numbers.
Renewals, spot events and mini-bids — run in days, not weeks.
If this sounds like your fleet,
aclRate is for you
aclRate is for growing European road carriers who answer customer RFPs without a pricing department — where quoting competes with running the fleet, and a mispriced lane costs real margin.
A dispatcher or owner prices bids between operational work.
A different template each RFP; cleaning it eats the first day.
Floor prices respected and loss-making lanes flagged before you send.
Answer more tenders without gambling on the price.
What you get
CITY, POSTAL, ZONE, LOCATION — all 16 combinations joined exactly, with no data loss.
Best carrier, route optimisation, per mode and per movement — compared side by side into one award plan.
Executive summaries, negotiation briefs and lane-level insights — every output labelled and backed by rules-based fallbacks.
CSV + .ctl files structured for OTM, SAP TM and Blue Yonder — pilot-ready from day one.
What you get
Reads the customer's file and maps every lane to your rate geography — the data-cleaning that used to eat day one.
Know the true margin on every lane before you commit to a price.
Run what-if scenarios to find a competitive, margin-protected response.
Turn your rates into a structured, submission-ready bid in minutes.
Audit-ready and built
for trust
Every award decision is defensible, traceable, and aligned to the compliance regimes your freight already answers to.
Your rate cards and margins stay yours. Every price you send is traceable to your own cost structure — and the compliance context travels with the lane.
Every session gets an isolated workspace — files are never shared between users.
Runs on Cloud Run with Secret Manager for credentials and isolated Cloud Storage.
Your AI API keys stay server-side, never exposed to the browser, and the assistant only works within your own tenant.
