Transportly 4Shipper lets shippers compare spot offers and apply contract rates in one workflow, with clear visibility into deviations and decisions.
Our Clients Who Already Optimize Their Logistics with Transportly 4Shipper – the Most User-Friendly Tool on the Market
Why us?
Spot + contract rates in one place
Compare spot offers and contract rates side by side. Use tender submissions to build lane pricing and compare offers to historical data (including bulk lane pricing). This is a private workspace with your carrier base only – not a public marketplace network.
Fewer leaks from contract pricing
Keep exceptions visible and documented, so “temporary” workarounds do not become normal. Get alerts when carriers violate contract conditions and track recurring deviations over time.
Better negotiations with evidence (and audit-ready exports)
Use lane-level history to renegotiate and re-award with confidence. Run reports, export data for audits, and share a single source of truth across procurement, logistics, and finance. Data stays in EU cloud data centers in compliance with EU legislation (see Trust Center).

€25,000+ saved Make rate decisions clear and repeatable
Rate management breaks down when procurement, logistics, and finance rely on different files and assumptions. 4Shipper provides a single shared view of freight rates so decisions are faster, explainable, and easier to improve across multi-plant, multi-country networks.
Run a PoC in 3–10 days (depending on the number of carriers and consent speed). No integrations required.
We take your real inputs—emails, PDFs, documents, images, and copy-pasted text—and use our AI agent to extract RFQs, cargo details, special requirements, and rate data. Then we import lanes and contract/tender pricing, onboard carriers (with consents handled by our team), and you can start sending RFQs.
It supports mixed transport modes and provider setups (carriers and forwarders), including a single RFQ that can reach both. Raw data can be exported for audits (as used by existing customers).
How can we help you?
- Procurement – run lane awards and renegotiations with comparable offers and consistent governance
- Logistics & operations – select carriers faster without chasing rates across multiple files
- Finance & controlling – reduce cost variance with an audit-ready trail of decisions and deviations

E-commerce
Stay on top of spot spikes while keeping contract pricing usable for daily execution.
Compare spot offers consistently (with historical context)
Send spot requests to your trusted carriers and compare offers side by side. 4Shipper adds historical lane pricing context so you can make decisions with a clear benchmark.
- Faster quote collection from your carrier network
- Consistent comparison across carriers and lanes
- Historical context to support negotiations and explain deviations
Store contract rates and terms where teams can use them
Keep contract pricing and documents in the same workspace as daily freight buying. 4Shipper supports multiple contract and tender structures with common rate models (per lane, per km, per volume, and more).
Tenders and awards run in your selected base currency. Carriers can submit offers in their local currency, and you compare them like-for-like using automatic conversion based on current exchange rates.
- Contract documents linked directly to each lane
- Single source of truth for rates and commercial terms
- Reduced risk from outdated spreadsheets
Apply contract rates first – and fall back to spot when needed
When creating a shipment, 4Shipper automatically identifies and suggests contracted carriers first. Operators can select from these options based on price, capacity, and past performance.
If contracted carriers are unavailable or do not confirm, the workflow seamlessly shifts to spot procurement while keeping the process consistent and traceable.
- Contract-first suggestions to prioritise agreed rates
- Documented exceptions directly in the workflow
- Clear visibility into contract compliance and leakage
Improve carriers and rates with performance signals
Turn day-to-day freight buying into measurable improvement. 4Shipper uses carrier performance signals—such as participation rates, acceptance rates, contract compliance, and price deviations—to support better awards and renegotiations.
- Participation and acceptance trends across carriers
- Compliance and deviation tracking for better control
- Reports, exports, and alerts to support reviews and audits
Configure who gets RFQs and what triggers alerts
Not every lane should be sent to the same provider list. 4Shipper lets you target RFQs to configurable groups (carriers, forwarders, or a mix) based on lane setup and procurement logic, while keeping exceptions controlled and visible.
- Targeted RFQs by group, lane, or scenario
- Focused alerts on contract violations and non-confirmations
- Traceable decisions with approvals and documented exceptions
