Freight Procurement & RFQ Bidding Software
Better rates. Structured bids. Contracts that don't lapse.
Enmovil RFQ automation is an AI-native freight procurement platform that takes every indentation request through a structured, competitive bidding process — collecting quotes from GST-registered carriers, enabling lane-wise rate benchmarking, and managing the resulting rate contracts with automated renewal tracking to prevent unnoticed lapses and MSME transporter payment disputes.
See CADDIE answer itThe problem
Why email-based freight tendering compounds cost at scale
When freight procurement runs on email threads and spreadsheets, the best rate is rarely the awarded rate — and no audit trail exists to prove it.
Rates negotiated outside the system
Quotes arrive in inboxes, comparison is manual, decisions verbal — the best MSME transporter rate is missed before the dispatch window closes.
Contracts expire without warning
Excel-tracked rates lapse unnoticed — trucks move at rates that expired 45 days ago, and the billing dispute follows months later.
No audit trail on award decisions
Who was invited, what each GST-registered carrier quoted, why a rate was awarded — none retrievable when a finance audit or TDS on freight query surfaces.
Bid cycles delay vehicle placement
Without a structured bid window, rounds drag for hours — by the time a rate is confirmed, the plant dispatch window has shifted.
Enmovil RFQ automation governs every freight requirement — indent to competitive bid to contracted, monitored rate — with every decision recorded and every expiry tracked.
How it works
How Enmovil RFQ automation works — Bid. Negotiate. Award.
Every indent moves through a structured bid-to-contract workflow — RFQ published, quotes compared, rate awarded, contract monitored with renewal alerts.
- 01
Bid
An RFQ with source, destination, material, quantity, truck type, and pickup date publishes to a defined panel of GST-registered transporters — participation count and best quote visible in real time.
- 02
Negotiate
Quotes compared in a single view against lane-wise benchmarks and carrier performance scores — with a 24-hour advance notification before the bid window closes.
- 03
Contract
Confirmed rate stored against route, LSP, contract number, vehicle type, and validity — with renewal alerts at 60, 45, 30, and 15 days before expiry, every contract linked to its original indent.
Technical details · capabilities and constraints
- Bid Creation & Transporter Participation
- Bids publish to a defined transporter panel with full route detail — participation count and best quote visible as responses arrive. Spot buying enabled for lanes off-contract.
- So you canSee every carrier quote and base-price deviation before committing a vehicle.
- Freight Rate Management
- Route-wise rates per LSP — contract number, vehicle type, validity, distance, cost components — with per-lane deviation formulas and bulk rate upload.
- So you canKeep a current rate database across every route and MSME transporter.
- Contract Monitoring & Renewal
- Active contracts surfaced with expiry timelines at 15, 30, 45, and 60 days — automated emails to procurement with escalation if no action.
- So you canRenew contracts before they lapse — without tracking validity across dozens of agreements.
- Vendor Panel & Audit Trail
- Transporter database with name, code, category, rating, GST registration, and contact; every bid — active, awarded, rejected, expired, cancelled — retained with TDS classification per record.
- So you canAudit any rate award decision long after the fact.
- Carrier Performance Scoring
- Performance tracked on on-time delivery, bid participation, and rate competitiveness per lane — surfaced during bid evaluation.
- So you canAward rates to transporters who perform — not just those who quote lowest today.

Which RFQs are open and where do we stand on responses?
6 RFQs active. 4 have at least one quote — best on RFQ-1142 (Mumbai–Pune, 20-tonne FTL) is 12% below base price from Rajshree Logistics. 2 have zero participation, both close in 18 hours — Delhi–Jaipur and Nagpur–Hyderabad.

The Operational Shift, Across Every Role That Touches Freight Procurement
FOR LOGISTICS PROCUREMENT MANAGER
Every indent converts to a structured RFQ and reaches the right panel in minutes — no email formatting, no manual follow-up. Chronically unresponsive carriers per lane surface automatically, so panel calls are data-driven.
FOR RATE & CONTRACT MANAGER
Route-wise rate cards live in one place — contract numbers, validity windows, deviation formulas all current. When a lane shifts, the comparison view shows contracted rate vs recent spot awards before you commit to renewal.
FOR FINANCE & COMPLIANCE TEAM
Every award traces to its indent, quotes, and awarded rate — with timestamps and approvals on record. GST-registered carrier verification and TDS on freight (Section 194C) are maintained per transporter; MSME payment timelines flag when settlement cycles run past statutory limits.
FOR TRANSPORTER PARTNER
Bid windows are clear, base prices disclosed, quote submission direct — via platform or supplied link. Award and rejection notifications arrive in real time. No follow-up calls.
