Ocean Tender has launched a new website, www.oceantender.com, to aid international importers, exporters, freight forwarders and third-party logistics providers in their transportation procurement. The Web-based tool offers procurement sourcing along with lane-segment analysis. It determines the optimal combination of carriers and services providers for meeting a company's transportation requirements. Users can create tender events, receive and analyze replies, make counter-offers in multiple rounds of negotiation, and award the business. The Ocean Tender Transportation Procurement Solution standardizes and supports all phases of a tender. OceanTender is a division of Freightgate Inc. Its applications address the management of transportation, freight contracts, rates, routes and schedules. Freightgate also offers global visibility tools for optimizing supply chains through the use of alerts and event management.
