What is Automated Carrier Booking?

Automated carrier selection is a feature of a Transport Management System (TMS) that helps shippers and logistics managers choose the most appropriate carriers for their shipments based on a variety of factors, such as cost, transit time, freight CO2 emissions and directions. This process improves efficiency, reduces costs, and optimizes the overall supply chain.

How Automated Carrier Booking works

You describe input for the Automated Carrier Booking module by setting up criteria (directions, services, price, transit time). When the module is enabled in your Cargoson account, then when entering shipment button "Auto-Select Carrier" will appear next to "Book" button.
When clicking the "Auto-Select Carrier" button the system checks if you have relevant criteria in place for this transport lane and quantity. If in place then system offers carrier based on your criteria and shows it out visually so you could place the booking.
