FreightWaves launches Market Monitor

Market Monitor pulls together the core SONAR data signals freight desks already trade on, including NTI, OTVI, OTRI, DOE, and more, then adds the interpretive layer that turns numbers into decisions:

• Live SONAR Indices. Tender volumes, rejection rates, spot rates, fuel, and more than 20 additional indices, refreshed daily, sourced from the freight industry’s most trusted data platform.
• AI Interpretations. Plain-English reads of every move. Know what a number means without chasing charts or waiting on an analyst, refined by real user feedback.
• The Daily. A curated briefing of FreightWaves’ top stories and what to watch, delivered directly to the dashboard.
• Custom Chart Builder. Stack any combination of SONAR indices in a single chart. Save the views. Compare year-over-year trends with one click. Spot divergence early.
• Shareable Snapshots. Capture any index and share a branded snapshot card with chart, signal, and social preview, ready to drop into a deck, a board email, or a team channel.

Built for speed: 90 seconds from signup to dashboard

Market Monitor is fully self-serve. Users can sign up with an email, choose a plan, and be inside the dashboard in roughly 90 seconds, with no demo, no procurement cycle, and no sales conversation required. The product is licensed per single user and can be cancelled anytime.

How it fits with SONAR

Market Monitor is powered by SONAR data and is designed for the broad base of freight and freight-adjacent professionals who need a daily read on the market: carriers, brokers, shipper operations and finance teams, executives, and the analysts and investors covering transportation.

For enterprise customers who need lane-level granularity, API access, historical depth, custom dashboards, or the full SONAR suite including SCI, TRAC, and Container Atlas, SONAR remains the enterprise platform of record. If you would like multiple logins for your team to Market Monitor insights, the SONAR sales team can assist.
