Frequently asked questions

Freight Bidding Software FAQ

Quick answers about reverse auctions, commissions, roles and licensing.

What is freight bidding software?

Freight bidding software is a marketplace platform where shippers post loads and transporters compete by submitting quotes. The marketplace owner manages users, categories, commissions, payments and tracking from an admin panel. It is commonly used by freight brokers, courier aggregators and logistics startups.

How does reverse auction bidding work?

A customer posts a shipment with route, dates, weight and photos. Registered transporters submit bids with price and service terms. The customer compares offers, asks questions, and accepts the quote that best fits the budget and timeline. Transporters can revise their bids during the auction window.

Can I charge a commission on every shipment?

Yes. The admin panel supports configurable commission rates, transporter advances and payment terms. You can define how the booking amount is split and manage the marketplace revenue model from the admin settings.

Does it support customers, transporters, drivers and admins?

Yes. The platform includes a customer website, transporter account area, driver and vehicle management, and a full admin panel. Each role has its own dashboard and permissions so operations stay organised.

Can the marketplace be white-labelled?

Yes. You can apply your logo, colours, domain and brand content. The front website and admin panel can be adapted to match your marketplace identity, and custom categories or fields can be added for specialist load types.

What is included in the $999 license?

The one-time license includes the front website, customer and transporter workflows, admin panel, free server installation, 3 months of support and 3 months of theme updates. There is no recurring license fee. Custom development is quoted separately.
