Turn drayage RFPs into priced bids
Drayage pricing for freight forwarders and brokers. Bidi AI turns customer RFPs and carrier emails into lanes and rates, then your margin and accessorial rules price the bid.
Trusted by industry leaders
The problem
Drayage pricing still runs on spreadsheets and inboxes
RFPs arrive as messy spreadsheets
Someone retypes hundreds of lanes before pricing can even start.
Carrier rates live in inboxes
Replies, PDFs and rate sheets sit in one person’s email, where nobody else can find or compare them.
Margin leaks through fees and fuel
Chassis, pre-pull, detention and fuel get quoted differently every time, and margin goes with them.
From customer RFP to priced bid
The same four steps for every bid, whether it has three lanes or three hundred.
Intake
Connect your Gmail inbox, and Bidi AI opens a new opportunity for each RFP email, reading lanes, volumes and the due date from the email and up to 12 attachments. Or create one yourself: drop in the customer’s files, or paste their email or lane list.
Buy
Bidi AI fills buy rates from your recent carrier rates as it adds lanes, or you can send rate requests to the carriers who serve the lane. Bidi AI reads their replies into rates for you to approve.
Sell
Set your margin or markup, and it applies to the base and each fee on its own line. The fees the customer asked you to price stay on the bid, starting at any amount they set. Accessorial rules price fees for each customer, carrier or lane, and fuel surcharges can follow the weekly EIA diesel price.
Share and track
Send the bid as a reply in the customer’s email thread or as a new email, with a PDF rate sheet and a CSV. If they sent an Excel bid sheet, BidSource fills it in with your rates. Mark the bid won, lost or closed, go live once it’s won, and see conversion and margin in Analytics.
What BidSource does
Every part of a drayage bid in one place
Bidi AI reads the email so nobody retypes it
RFP emails and carrier replies arrive in your connected Gmail inbox. Bidi AI reads the message and its Excel, CSV, PDF, Word or image attachments, then fills in lanes and rates. Each lane and rate shows the text it was read from, and lane changes from a later file wait for your team to review them.
How AI email extraction works
Price every lane by your own rules
Accessorial rules price chassis, pre-pull, detention and every other fee by customer, carrier, division or lane. Fuel surcharges can follow the weekly EIA diesel price.
