Take the Pain Out of RFQs and Tender Management

There are plenty of opinions on whether or not RFQs are a good thing for freight forwarders and carriers – or if they should participate in them at all. However, in the end most come to the conclusion that bids are a necessary part of growing their business.

This means taking an honest look at why the costs involved, and resources necessary to participate in RFQ’s are important. One shouldn’t think about tenders as just a cost of doing business. Each RFQ a company participates in should be considered seriously to make sure it’s the right fit and is given the proper effort.
