Aggregating Spot Freight Opportunities for Carriers
Manifold is revolutionizing the spot freight procurement process for Carriers, Brokers, and Shippers. Our inaugural product transforms the booking process for spot shipments, significantly reducing empty miles and increasing revenue. We do this by aggregating spot shipment opportunities from a variety of shipper and brokerage sources into a single location. Andrew and Oliver bring deep domain expertise of freight from their pivotal roles at Convoy, where they were engineering leaders automating processes that were scaled to handle over 10,000 weekly shipments. This background has been instrumental in shaping Manifold's innovative approach. In just two months since launching Manifold has achieved $5,100 in monthly revenue, showcasing the pressing demand for our product. Manifold is poised to transform this $100+ billion industry. Not only will we streamline spot freight procurement operations but we will also redefine the industry's cost structure for the better.
Manifold Freight provides a platform that centralizes freight opportunities for carriers, enabling automated bidding and data-driven decisions to increase revenue and save time. It aims to streamline quoting across opportunities from multiple sources within a single screen.
Manifold consolidates customer freight opportunities into one screen to automate quoting and improve bid performance. It offers automated bidding rules for 24/7 bidding, data-driven bid decisions to maximize profit, and performance analytics to track win rate and revenue per load. The product is positioned as replacing multiple screens and tabs with a single, centralized interface to capture more quoting opportunities and streamline operations.
Who it’s for: Carriers seeking to win more spot freight loads and optimize bidding processes, particularly those handling brokered or spot market shipments.

Aggregating loads from multiple brokers and shippers into one place.
Manifold Freight aggregates spot freight opportunities from multiple sources, including shipper direct loads, into a single dashboard for asset-based carriers to find and bid on shipments.
