Already in LaneFlo

Explore each area below. Features work with your uploaded data and team permissions; carrier preferences and coverage estimates support review and outreach.

01 / AVAILABLE

Existing network intelligence

Understand your own freight without uploading an RFP.
  • State and city gaps

    Select a state, compare arriving and departing volume by city and equipment, and review the lanes behind a gap.

  • Follow the next connection

    See where incoming freight starts, choose a compatible next lane, and inspect empty miles and potential volume.

  • Keep your place

    Return to your state, city, selected connection and lane-table filters within the same workspace.

02 / AVAILABLE

Import & organize lane data

Turn customer and carrier spreadsheets into a usable network.
  • Excel and CSV imports

    Choose a worksheet, map your columns, preview the rows, and review locations before importing.

  • Lane details and volume

    Bring origin, destination, equipment, rates, mileage, and volume with its weekly, monthly, or annual period.

  • North American lanes

    Work with US, Canadian, and Mexican locations and filter domestic or cross-border movements. Distances are estimates when supplied mileage is unavailable.

03 / AVAILABLE

Procurement & carrier networks

Build your own carrier base and see who could fit each lane.
  • Your private carrier network

    Maintain carrier lane preferences and invite carriers to submit their lanes through a dedicated portal.

  • Procurement and carrier views

    Match customer freight against your carrier preferences, investigate gaps, or start with a carrier to find suitable customer lanes.

  • Shared Carrier Directory

    Explore participating carriers’ shared preferences separately from your private network. Listings grow as carriers join; confirm availability directly.

04 / AVAILABLE

Route discovery & volume coverage

Find connections and understand how much freight could fit.
  • Connections, backhauls, triangles, and quads

    Review connecting lanes and return loops, with equipment and deadhead settings shaping the results.

  • Potential volume coverage

    See matched and uncovered volume and the leg that limits a route. A geographic connection does not guarantee enough volume.

  • Map and route review

    Inspect route legs, empty-mile gaps, fit scores, and bid recommendations. Matches support planning; they do not confirm truck availability.

05 / AVAILABLE

RFP fit, pipeline & portfolio

Keep the bid, its deadlines, and its network fit in one workspace.
  • RFP Fit workspace

    Review priority lanes, opportunities to explore, coverage to build, and data needing attention.

  • Single or multiple rounds

    Keep single-round bids simple. For another customer round, preserve the prior round and start the next with its own deadline. Saved pricing versions and corrected uploads remain separate actions.

  • Customer Bids

    Track status, deadlines, pricing progress, lead assignments, and archived bids. Open each RFP’s overview and reports.

  • Portfolio overview

    Review RFP totals, reported volume, pricing progress, network opportunities, and items needing attention across your portfolio.

06 / AVAILABLE

Direct pricing, fuel & bid exports

Enter pricing in LaneFlo and carry it into your bid.
  • All-in or linehaul plus fuel

    Enter carrier costs, market benchmarks, and customer quotes directly. Review fuel, totals, and per-lane margins in USD.

  • Customer and internal downloads

    Export entered quotes, linehaul, fuel, and all-in totals for customers. Internal pricing exports also include costs, benchmarks, and margins.

  • Pricing updates from Excel

    Export an RFP, edit customer quotes and fuel, then match and review the pricing update before saving it to the same lanes.

  • Saved bid versions

    Preserve a pricing snapshot before later edits or replacement uploads, then review or export saved versions.

07 / AVAILABLE

Compare customer RFPs

Understand what changed between earlier and later RFPs from the same customer.
  • Added, dropped, and unchanged lanes

    Compare an earlier and later RFP, such as Q1 and Q3, and inspect the changes on the map and in the table.

  • Network and volume impact

    Review volume gained or lost, shifts on unchanged lanes, fit changes, and geographic changes.

  • Focused review and export

    Filter the comparison by change type and export the results for the next pricing or account conversation.

08 / AVAILABLE

Reports & controlled sharing

Share the network story with the details your recipient needs.
  • View-only report links

    Create a saved snapshot for one customer or RFP. Choose public-link access or listed email addresses verified by email.

  • Rates, expiration, and revocation

    Choose no rates, reference rates, or customer quotes; set expiration, review viewing activity, and revoke future access. Internal costs, margins, and notes stay private.

  • Downloadable reports

    Download an interactive HTML network report for offline viewing, or use analysis reports and route pitch sheets for review.

09 / AVAILABLE

Team workspace & usability

Support shared review without losing the details of a bid.
  • Team access and collaboration

    Work in a shared team workspace with role-based permissions, notes, and saved items. Export access is managed by the team.

  • Support in your workspace

    Send questions and screenshots, see reply indicators, and follow the conversation in your support tickets.

  • Readable RFP names

    Resize the desktop Analysis sidebar. RFP names have their own line, with compact status labels beneath them.

  • Clear action feedback

    Copy confirmations, report-download feedback, and a confirmation step when revoking a shared link make actions easier to follow.

Under consideration

Ideas for what comes next

These directions are open for feedback. They are not available features or committed release dates. Scope and priority may change based on customer needs and technical feasibility.

More procurement spreadsheet formats

Evaluate representative Jaggaer, Coupa and Keelvar exports to reduce column-mapping and reformatting work.

Support needs sample files and validation of their worksheets, lane identifiers and pricing fields.

Road-mile integrations

Explore a dedicated road-mile provider, such as PC Miler, to supplement supplied mileage and current estimates.

Provider access, licensing, and routing options would need validation.

External market-rate data

Explore licensed market-rate sources, such as DAT or Greenscreens, alongside the rates users enter today.

No live market-data feed or provider partnership is being announced.

Additional carrier intelligence

Evaluate external carrier data, including sources such as GenLOGS, to support carrier discovery and outreach.

Data rights, provider access, and match quality would need validation.

Opportunity and coverage alerts

Consider notifications when new lane data creates a useful connection or changes a coverage gap.

Alert rules, frequency, and recipient controls need definition.

Network trends over time

Extend the existing two-RFP comparison into longer-term views of network fit, coverage, and deadhead.

History retention and comparable reporting periods need definition.

More informed recommendations

Explore how bid outcomes and customer or carrier history could improve prioritization and reporting.

Requires dependable historical data and explainable recommendations.
