Transfix Continues Transformation in Building Freight’s First Quote Management System

Tuesday, Jul 8, 2025

Transfix continues its transformation to a tech and data company with the release of new technology solutions designed to  redefine the pricing and procurement experience for freight brokers. Built into the Transfix Solutions Console, Smart Uploads and Routing Guide were developed to eliminate manual bottlenecks from RFP management and carrier booking.

“Freight brokers have long been stuck between inconsistent RFP formats on one end and fragmented carrier networks on the other,” said Jonathan Salama, CEO and Co-founder of Transfix. “With Smart Uploads and Routing Guide, we’re modernizing the entire pricing and procurement lifecycle, from ingestion to execution, by combining automation with actionable intelligence. This is a huge step toward building freight’s first Quote Management System.”

Established in 2013, Transfix was among the first of the “tech-powered brokerages.” Last June, Transfix sold its freight brokerage business unit to NFI Industries, enablingTransfix to pivot entirely toward software and data solutions, with NFI becoming its first customer. In essence, Transfix deliberately stepped out of the brokerage race to become a technology champion.

Since then, the Transfix Intelligent Freight Platform™, a TMS with cutting-edge technology that utilizes automation and machine-learning to drive processing costs significantly below industry standards, has helped power the logistics networks of hundreds of leading retailers, consumer brands, manufacturers, and logistics companies.

“Together, Smart Uploads and Routing Guide represent a full-stack solution for the freight industry’s most persistent pain points: messy data, manual workflows, inconsistent pricing, and unreliable carrier performance,” continued Salama.

Now available within the Transfix Solutions Console, Smart Uploads automatically converts shipper-submitted RFPs into a clean, structured format, regardless of the original spreadsheet layout. The AI identifies key fields, flags ambiguities, and preserves the original file for full traceability, saving brokers hours of formatting time and eliminating costly errors.

Routing Guide enables brokers to lock in that pricing intelligence with consistent, high-performing carrier assignments. Using historical data, brokers can build high-quality networks, automate recurring freight, and reduce fraud by surfacing only vetted, trusted partners. Brokers can also set rate-optimizing margins and preferences by day or lane, ensuring reliable service with every booking.
