Case Study: a food and pet nutrition company streamlines freight bidding with Emerge

Modern RFP Approach Allows Family-owned Business to Perform Monthly And Quarterly Bids

Food and Pet Nutrition Company, a family-owned business in the food and pet nutrition industries, was struggling with a manual freight sourcing process that relied on spreadsheets, emails, and annual RFPs. The company partnered with Emerge to modernize its freight procurement approach and better respond to rapidly changing market conditions.

Using Emerge’s Dynamic RFP freight procurement platform, the company streamlined bid events and gained the ability to run monthly or quarterly bids instead of waiting for annual cycles. Emerge helped the shipper expand its carrier network from about 20 invited carriers to more than 45,000 marketplace carriers, improve efficiency by eliminating hours of manual work, and operate with greater flexibility and scalability as market volatility changes.
