Portrix Logistic Software (PLS) has created a bespoke Excel extension for its Global Price Management (GPM) package, transforming the process of logistics tender management.
With the new extension, christened Tender Assistant, optimised shipping rates will be automatically source[ds_preview]d from GPM and inputted into Excel tender documents. According to the company this slashes workloads, increases productivity and revolutionises a laborious process that is the bane of freight forwards and carriers worldwide.
GPM Tender Assistant can be directly accessed from Excel for any tender format, connecting with GPM via the internet to gain access to a wealth of available rates and data. Excel columns are then auto-filled with the desired rates, quickly producing an optimised tender quote without problems, input errors and the needless use of resources.
Tender Assistant is currently undergoing final user testing and refinements ahead of a Q2 launch PLS informs. The plug-in will be offered as an integrated part of GPM’s Quotation Management module.
In February the company launched GPM 2.5, an upgraded version of its software with a new user-interface to further simplify the complicated process of managing multi-modal logistics costs.
