Data is everywhere—but how much does it shape your freight procurement strategy? Let us know where you stand! ⬇️

Shippers want predictability. Carriers want speed. Dynamic Book It Now delivers on both. Traditional spot procurement often favors brokerages that can wait before securing a truck. But for some of the best asset-based carriers, that’s not an option—they need to book and move on. With DBIN, shippers invite their vendors to a reverse auction, creating predictability while streamlining the carrier experience. No back-and-forth. No wasted time. Just seamless execution for you and your carriers. https://lnkd.in/esvcQfkR Brad Wheeler, our EVP of Sales, breaks it down in this video ⬇️

Freight procurement isn’t about guesswork. It’s about setting yourself up for success from the start. If you don’t properly understand your lanes before sourcing, you risk underpricing your freight—causing carriers to fall off, your route guide to crash, and eventually pushing your loads to the spot market. By using Emerge’s tools to analyze historical data, compare rates, and foster reliable relationships, you can avoid the cycle of re-sourcing and keep your freight moving smoothly. The right data leads to the right decisions—no second-guessing needed. Measure twice, procure once. Because getting it right the first time beats scrambling the second. https://lnkd.in/gmF4ZgJs

One month down. How’s your freight strategy holding up? Are your procurement goals on track? Staying within budget? Working with the right carriers? If you're already seeing gaps, now’s the time to course-correct. Emerge gives you the tools to adjust in real time—whether it’s optimizing your RFPs, running Mini Bids, or finding reliable asset-based capacity. Don’t wait until Q2 to fix inefficiencies. Let’s make sure your strategy stays strong all year long. 🔗https://lnkd.in/gmF4ZgJs
