## RFP season shouldn't feel like this.

Every carrier and broker goes through the same painful RFP ritual. Manual spreadsheets, pricing debates, and lost lanes.

### YOUR CURRENT PROCESS

01

A shipper sends a 500-lane spreadsheet. You spend hours reformatting it just to make it readable

02

Your team debates pricing lane by lane — gut feel, scattered historical data, and whatever DAT says today

03

You bid on lanes you don't want because filtering takes too long to bother.

04

You submit late, underprice to be safe, or overbid and lose lanes you should have won

Forge eliminates every one of these steps. Upload your RFP, filter your lanes, price with data, and submit — in the time it used to take just to reformat the spreadsheet.

## Four steps. One competitive advantage.

STEP 4 - SUBMIT

Your bid is ready. Submit while your competitors are still opening their spreadsheets. Speed is a competitive advantage, Forge gives it to you.

## Your pricing methodology, built in.

Forge doesn't apply generic market rates. It learns your pricing logic and applies it consistently across every lane — so every bid reflects how your operation actually prices freight.

## Up and running before your next RFP lands.

Forge doesn't require a lengthy implementation. You connect your data, set your pricing methodology, and start **winning lanes**

**01.**

### CONNECT YOUR DATA

Forge pulls in your historical lane data and connects to live market rate feeds. The more data you bring, the sharper your pricing gets from day one.

**02.**

### SET YOUR PRICING METHODOLOGY

Work with the Hemut team to configure your pricing logic in Forge — your margins, your lane preferences, your risk tolerance.

**03.**

### START BIDDING

When your next RFP comes in, you upload, filter, price, and submit. What used to take hours now takes minutes, and you win more freight at better rates.

## Pricing built around your RFP volume.

Forge is scoped to your operation and bidding volume. Book a call and we'll walk you through exactly what it costs and what it covers — no surprises.
