With one quick view, they can also see SONAR Guidance and the current market conditions on any given lane. This integration provides market transparency directly within the user’s workflow, enabling smarter negotiations and a stronger competitive edge.
“I am incredibly excited about this new offering for our customers,” said Julie Van de Kamp, Chief Marketing and Operations Officer. “The ease of use and integration into the workflow provide a huge benefit for SONAR customers.”
Key features of the extension include:
-Lane Search Made Simple: Instantly look up spot rates for any origin-destination pair right from the browser.
-Broker Guidance & Market Conditions: Access real-time insights to position quotes competitively.
-Built-in Margin Calculator: Quickly determine profitability and see flat rates with real-time inputs.
-Fast, Informed Quoting: The tool is designed to save time and improve accuracy in the daily quoting process.
