Trimble Freight Marketplace is a web platform for sourcing freight through contracted and spot procurement. It is presented for shippers and carriers, with brokers also described as participants in the solution. Shippers can use RFQs, mini bids, spot requests, one-round or multi-round tenders, and instant spot events. Carrier insights, ratings, and market information can inform sourcing decisions. Carriers can find contracted or spot opportunities and use performance, service, fleet, and market data to present and price their capacity. Trimble describes a verified, exclusive network with access to thousands of carriers and says onboarding can bring users live in minutes. The listed capabilities include rate comparison and validation, carrier payments, contract and bid management, multimodal freight, load tendering, and analytics. Related Trimble offerings describe scenario analysis, automated offer validation, AI-based spot freight buying, carrier profiling, and historical lane-rate insights that account for seasonality and transit time. The Marketplace page does not state a price or name a specific software integration. Trimble links to a knowledge base with documentation and video tutorials, as well as product training.
