Summary

This is where a lot of bids go to die. Your pricing analyst and team put serious effort into submitting a bid, then never hear about it again. BidRight gives your sales team reminders and a single place to see which bids are waiting on a response from the shipper and when to reach out for an update. No bid falls through the cracks. The goal is simple: close the loop on every bid you do work on.

​
Three plans of action

Once you hear back from the shipper, BidRight gives you three ways to move the bid forward.

Move to Next Round

You received feedback and the bid is moving to the next round. The workflow kicks off again — import the feedback and submit your new rates.

Award Lanes

Time to celebrate. A simplified workflow kicks off to enter the awards and let the shipper know which ones you accepted. Award tracking lives inside BidRight.

Lost Bid

Moves the bid to closed. The bid data stays in BidRight’s bid warehouse, but the door is closed on this one.

​
Move to next round

Most bids do not get awarded after the first submission. The shipper comes back with target rates, lane changes, or a request to sharpen specific lanes. Choose Move to Next Round to import that feedback and re-run the workflow with the new context. Previous rounds stay attached to the bid so you can see how the rates evolved.

​
Award lanes

When you get awarded, kick off the award workflow. Enter the awarded lanes, confirm what you are accepting, and send the response back to the shipper. From this point on, the awards are tracked inside BidRight alongside the rest of the bid data.

​
Lost bid

Not every bid is going to land. Marking a bid as lost closes the workflow but keeps the bid in your warehouse. The data is still there for future analysis — what you priced, what the market did, and how that lane has trended over time.

​
Why this matters

Bids that never get a final answer are the most expensive kind. The work was done, the rates were submitted, and the only thing missing is knowing what happened. Tracking follow-up inside BidRight makes sure every bid ends in one of these three places instead of sitting in someone’s inbox.
