About
Transfix is a comprehensive AI-driven freight technology platform built specifically for freight brokers and third-party logistics providers (3PLs). The platform unifies pricing, planning, execution, and billing into a single connected system, giving teams real-time visibility across the entire shipment lifecycle. At its core, Transfix TMS connects every operational touchpoint—from quoting and tendering to tracking and billing—reducing manual work and enabling faster, more accurate decisions. Its Custom Rate Prediction Suite uses proprietary AI models trained on client-specific data and live market signals to generate highly accurate spot and contract freight rates in seconds, supporting Dry Van, Reefer, and Flatbed freight types. The RFP Workflow module centralizes contract freight bidding with collaboration tools, deadline tracking, and Smart Upload technology that automatically structures messy freight data from any file format. This dramatically accelerates RFP submissions and improves data quality. Transfix emphasizes strict data privacy, ensuring each client's data is used exclusively for their own models and never shared or blended across clients. Proven outcomes include win rates of 50–60%, margin improvements of 1.5–3%, time savings of up to 5 minutes per spot load, and rate accuracy of 97–98% against market benchmarks. It is trusted by established logistics organizations seeking to modernize their operations with enterprise-grade AI.
