Freightgate releases new OceanTender version 3.1
Freightgate, a leading provider of supply chain transportation solutions, is pleased to announce the release of OceanTender version 3.1 . Freightgate's transportation procurement application uses a common business process and standardized format developed in conjunction with global shippers, 3PLs and carriers. Ocean Tender standardizes and supports all phases of a tender from initial creation, request, responses, complex shipper evaluation, countering, and award.
"We are excited that our user community can now do least cost routing analysis with just the click of a button and account for business reality of awarding a given lane to more than one carrier with ease. " says Martin Hubert, President Freightgate. "Anyone in the International Shipping Procurement Community should see for themselves what a great value the Freightgate Procurement solutions offer."

Gary Chisamore, Freightgate's VP of Business Development reports "based on customer feedback we have developed 'optimal routing capabilities' and 'Least cost models' that have the capability to limit % awarded to carrier/destination or totals. By incorporating nomination strategies we have provided granularity unmatched in any other transportation procurement solution.
