What the demo shows
Tender response for forwarders: every lane priced three ways and challenged before sign-off
Agents read the tender letter, lane sheet, questionnaire and draft contract, map each lane to a carrier contract rate and send structured rate requests for lanes no contract covers. They price every lane in three postures, defend, win and selective, with each posture's sum if fully awarded, and the head of pricing can steer any lane mid-run. A challenger scores the bid by the tender's own rules and raises points, including against the agents' own answers, while a rehearsal prices clauses such as fixed fuel and peak season surcharges under assumed rises. The head of pricing answers or decides every point and counters clauses, and the managing director opens the board, the counters and the points before signing as second person.
