Respond to Load Tender

This guide explains how Carriers can respond to load tenders received through the ShipperGuide platform using our Public API.

By integrating with our Public API, Carriers can efficiently manage load tenders and respond to business opportunities in near real-time.

Here's an overview of the process:

1. Shipper tenders a load to a carrier using ShipperGuide TMS
2. Our system sends a tender:sent webhook to the Carrier with all relevant load details
3. Carrier responds by accepting or rejecting the tender through the API
4. ShipperGuide TMS updates the shipper's interface with the carrier's decision

Real-time Tender Notifications with Webhooks

ShipperGuide uses webhooks technology to notify Carriers about new load tenders as soon as they become available. This feature ensures carriers are promptly informed of new business opportunities.

The webhook sends a notification to the carrier's designated endpoint, including all relevant load information required to make informed decisions quickly.

Make sure your system is set up to receive webhooks and check the tender:sent event documentation to learn about this specific notification.

Responding to Tenders

After receiving a tender notification via webhook, the Carrier can respond directly using our Respond to Load Tender API endpoint. The response process is streamlined for efficiency, allowing carriers to accept or reject tenders quickly and confidently.
