Summary: | A utility for creating a real-time bid-ask transportation marketplace where all relevant information may be viewed and acted upon is disclosed. See Figure 2. Users of the present invention tender shipments and offer capacity, which are analyzed and entered into transportation instruments. Contracts obligate the shipper to make a load available and the carrier to transport the load at a given time for a given price. Shipments may be managed throughout their entire life cycle using software tools that interact with the bid-ask marketplace.
L'invention concerne un système d'instauration en temps réel d'un marché de transport de type offre-demande dans lequel toutes les informations importantes peuvent être consultées et traitées (voir figure 2). Les utilisateurs de cette invention proposent des expéditions et des capacités, qui après analyse sont introduites dans les instruments de transport. Des contrats obligent l'expéditeur à mettre à disposition une charge disponible et le transporteur à transporter cette charge à une heure donnée pour un prix donné. Les expéditions peuvent être gérées pendant tout leur cycle de vie au moyen d'outils logiciels qui interagissent avec le marché de type offre-demande. |
