SONAR: The Ultimate Cure for Market Pain

Use SONAR’s Forward-Looking Market Intelligence (NOT just historical data) as preventative medicine for your market pain.

Who SONAR Helps:

Avoid getting caught flat-footed, most tools tell you what has already happened, SONAR provides context and leading indicators to help you act proactively.

What competitors do:

Competitor TypeLimitation
Rate platforms (DAT, Truckstop, Xeneta, etc.)Benchmarking + backward-looking
TMS/ERP dataInternal only, no market signal
Consulting reportsStatic, lagging, quarterly
Forecasting modelsNarrow scope or rate-only

SONAR has:

A live macro supply–demand engine using:

  • Tender volumes (OTVI and STVI)
  • Tender rejections (OTRI and STRI)
  • Mode shifts (intermodal, ocean, air)
  • Macro flows
  • Seasonal + structural trend modeling

This is not a rate tool — it’s a market direction engine.
