Adapting to Market Shifts with the Control Panel
Stay Ahead of Volatility
Freight is unpredictable. A lane that was profitable last week can quickly become unviable as rates surge, capacity tightens, or demand shifts unexpectedly. For brokers and 3PLs, reacting to these changes manually can be slow and risky. Margins are exposed, bids are delayed, and shippers lose confidence in your ability to deliver consistently.
To compete in today’s volatile market, resilience is non-negotiable. Transfix’s Control Panel gives you that edge by automating your cost and margin strategies. Instead of firefighting after the market moves, you can set rules in advance and let the system adapt instantly. And should the strategy change down the road, you can customize the rules you set when it matters most to you.
Why Market Volatility Hurts Growth
Manual approaches to pricing and margin management create challenges that ripple across the business:
Margin erosion: Rates spike faster than manual updates can keep up.
Lost opportunities: Slow bid responses cost you shipper trust and business.
Inconsistent strategies: Different teams apply pricing logic differently, creating confusion.
Stress on operators: Teams are forced to spend hours recalculating costs instead of focusing on coverage.
