Instead of managing separate rates for every customer’s file format, BidRight lets you set a single standardized rate and apply it across every lane in the bid. This is called pricing with one number. You enter your target rate once, and BidRight calculates the resulting rate for every lane automatically. You can still override individual lanes when needed.

​
Standardized pricing inputs

BidRight normalizes rates into three standardized inputs so you can compare lanes apples-to-apples regardless of how the customer’s file was formatted.
InputFull nameWhat it represents
S-RPMStandard Revenue Per MileThe rate per mile, normalized for distance
S-minStandard minimum chargeThe minimum charge per shipment
S-lhStandard linehaul rateThe linehaul component of the rate, excluding fuel surcharge
Start with S-RPM for most accounts. Switch to S-min or S-lh only when the customer requires a different pricing basis.
