Carrier offer review and award

Decide the submitted offer independently and inspect the persisted award result.

Step by step

  1. Prepare the offer Dispatcher

    The Dispatcher records the carrier, offered USD rate, validity and authority reference against the selected load and organization. Check the carrier identity with the evidence used by the brokerage before the offer is submitted.

    • Prepare rate, validity and authority support
    • Updates Carrier offers, Loads, Transport partners, Record attachments
  2. Submit carrier offer Dispatcher

    The Dispatcher moves the intended offer revision from Draft to Submitted under the configured procedure. Keep the parent load revision and the offer revision identifiable for review. A changed rate or validity date needs to follow the agreed revision process.

    • Submit the intended offer and identify the parent revision
    • Updates Carrier offers, Loads
  3. Approve carrier offer Transport Supervisor

    The Transport Supervisor independently examines the eligible offer and its evidence. Record approval against the intended parent load revision through the guarded action, with award evidence identifying the reviewed offer and its submitted revision. Reject or Return requires a useful reason; follow the agreed procedure before the Dispatcher requests another review.

    • Record independent authorization for the reviewed scope
    • Updates Carrier offers, Review decisions, Loads
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  4. Complete the award Dispatcher

    After approval, inspect the persisted operation receipt before marking the offer Completed. The Dispatcher checks the result before communicating the award outcome. An uncertain response needs investigation against the existing offer and decision evidence.

    • Complete only after the award receipt is persisted
    • Updates Carrier offers, Operation receipts

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A carrier name is accepted without checking the authority reference. Resolve the identity before the award decision.
  • The offer expires before review or changes after submission. Confirm the eligible revision and validity again.
  • The team treats approval as proof that the award action completed. Inspect the persisted result before communicating completion.
