Transport procurement should not live in inboxes and spreadsheets
Transportly 4Shipper gives shippers one private procurement workspace to run spot requests, tenders, and long-term contracts with their trusted carriers.
Our Clients Who Already Optimize Their Logistics with Transportly 4Shipper – the Most User-Friendly Tool on the Market
Why us?
One workflow for spot + contract buying
Run spot requests, tenders, and contracts in one place. Keep prices, messages, documents, and decisions linked to the lane or shipment. Support complex rate logic (accessorials/conditions, multi-currency) with configurable approvals.
Bring Your Own Carriers (fast adoption)
Invite the carriers you already work with. You share your carrier list; we handle outreach, consents, and onboarding so you can start fast. This is a private workspace with your carrier base only – not a public marketplace network.
Clear comparisons and an audit-ready trail
Compare offers consistently across carriers and lanes. Keep a clean history of who offered what, what was awarded, and why. Use role-based approvals and bid validity periods to keep decisions controlled. Data stays in EU cloud data centers in compliance with EU legislation (see Trust Center).

€25,000+ saved Make freight buying a daily workflow
If your team buys transport through emails, phone calls, and spreadsheets, you lose time and decision clarity. Run a PoC in 3-10 days (based on number of carriers and consent speed). No integrations required.
We take your real inputs – emails, PDFs, docs, images, and copy-pasted text – and extract RFQs, cargo details, and special requirements using our AI agent. Then we import lanes, onboard carriers, and run the first RFQs or a small lane tender.
By day 10, carriers are onboarded, your lane list is imported, and the first RFQs can be sent – with a clear audit trail for comparisons, awards, and approvals.
How can we help you?
- Logistics managers – collect quotes faster and keep conversations attached to the shipment
- Procurement – run tenders and awards with comparable offers and consistent governance
- Finance & supply chain – get an audit-ready trail and clearer cost control across carriers and routes

- Invite carriers per lane or shipment
- Compare offers side by side
- Keep messages and attachments with the request
Run tenders and award lanes without spreadsheets
Standardise your lane tender process and keep awards transparent. 4Shipper lets you collect bids, compare offers on identical lanes, and store all awards and history in one place.
Tenders run in a single base currency. Carriers can submit bids in their local currency, and you can compare them like-for-like with automatic conversion.
- Lane-level comparisons across carriers and commercial terms
- Clear award history for reviews and renegotiations
- Shared visibility across teams and locations
Apply contract rates in the same workflow
Store contract terms and rates, and use them alongside spot offers within a single workflow. 4Shipper supports complex rate logic with configurable, role-based approvals (e.g. transport cost thresholds) when required.
Support common pricing models such as price per km, price per volume, lane-specific pricing, minimum charges, fuel surcharges, accessorials/conditions, and vehicle or cargo categories. When spot pricing deviates from contract expectations, the exception remains visible with a clear explanation.
- Centralised contract data for documents and pricing
- Deviation visibility when spot differs from contract
- Reduced manual rate checks and revalidation
Improve decisions with procurement analytics
Use price history and carrier performance data to negotiate more effectively and reduce unexpected costs. 4Shipper turns day-to-day procurement into measurable, continuous improvement.
- Price trend tracking by lane and carrier
- Performance insights to spot patterns and recurring issues
- Clearer ROI visibility through time and cost savings
