Find shippers moving freight before the bid lands.

A shipper files a warehouse permit, or ships a third less than its award. noombat puts it on the owner's list each morning.

Your market

Permits, manifests and lane RFQs: where the next shipper and the next leaking award show first.

01

Every shipper you could carry

Your accounts, your spot customers and the shippers using other providers, in one market.

02

The shippers that fit your network

The lanes, modes and volumes you run well, with a rate sheet expiring or a site coming.

03

The shippers moving this week

A warehouse is permitted, a new lane appears in the manifests, an award runs short. Each reaches its owner the next morning, with the reason.

How it runs every day

Every morning, noombat reads your TMS beside the permits and the manifests.

It reads your TMS or forwarding platform and your CRM, such as CargoWise or Salesforce, through their APIs or a scheduled export, and the building permits, tenders, job adverts and, where they are public, the trade records for every shipper in your markets. Each owner gets whose freight changed, and why.
