Solutions · Logistics & freight

The quoting goes agentic. The freight stays on trucks.

Rate requests are increasingly machine-generated while the loads, docks, and drivers stay physical. GateCore governs the traffic between the two: who asked, what rate they saw, and what was won, all on the record.

Is this you?

Four situations.

  • Automated brokers and TMS bots pull your rates with no identity and no record.
  • Your best lane pricing leaks to whoever scrapes hardest.
  • Quote requests arrive at volumes your team cannot qualify or prioritize.
  • When a rate dispute lands, the history is an email thread, not a ledger.
What you get

Governed quoting, receipted wins.

The rate becomes a metered capability; the load becomes a receipted transaction.

01
Identity

Every rate request signed

Rate and capacity requests come from credentialed agents with earned standing. Anonymous pulls get nothing.

02
Metering

A record of every rate exposed

Which requester saw which rate on which lane, and when, on an append-only ledger. Pricing leakage becomes visible and priceable.

03
Evidence

Won loads with receipts

Tenders and confirmations settle with signed receipts, so the dispute is a lookup, not an argument.

By use case

Each product, mapped to the job it does here.

Only the use cases that genuinely apply in this industry are listed.

UC1
Use case · Govern access

Your rates behind the gate

Rate, capacity, and availability data becomes a registered, scoped capability: identified requesters, per-request metering, policy at the gate, instant revocation.

Gateway checkpoint · policy + review queue · governed data sharing · receipts

UC2
Use case · Sell to agents

Qualified freight, receipted

List the lanes and load types you want. Tender requests arrive contract-checked from identified sources and settle with signed receipts; load-sized settlements run under enhanced governance.

Marketplace listing · verified lead delivery · settlement + signed receipts

UC3
Use case · Get discovered

Present where routing decisions start

Shipper and broker agents can read your listing's terms with no account. The Merchant toolkit and Concierge tiers sharpen the listing content itself: content work, never placement.

Open MCP discovery · agent-readable terms · listing optimization tiers

How it works

Six gates, in order, on every request.

If any gate fails, nothing is delivered and nothing is billed.

01
IDENTITY
The requesting agent signs the request with its issued key. Unidentified traffic never reaches the asset.
PASS
02
TRUST
Standing earned from verified outcomes decides what the requester can even discover.
GOOD
03
CONTRACT
Your listing's terms are the contract: lanes, load types, rate scope, and price per request.
MET
04
POLICY
Your rules decide. Sensitive scopes can route to a named reviewer.
ALLOW
05
EXECUTE
Only the contracted lookup or tender, at the contracted scope, metered per request.
DONE
06
RECEIPT
Requester, decision, units, and settlement, signed onto the ledger.
RECEIPT

A refusal names the rule; a scraper gets nothing, and a governed requester leaves evidence.

The arithmetic

One hundred quote requests a month.

What governed quote flow translates to at your win rate and margin per load.

Illustrative arithmetic with placeholder inputs, not a forecast, a promised result, or a typical outcome. Substitute your own volume, close rate, and ticket size; the structure is the point, not these numbers.

At your size

Same gate, sized to you.

OWNER-OPERATOR / SMALL FLEET
List your lanes free, take tenders by email, hold the receipts.
MID-MARKET CARRIER / BROKER
Lane and capacity listings under one policy, one ledger across desks.
ENTERPRISE / 3PL
A governed rate front door beside your TMS and EDI channels, exportable for pricing review.
What it costs

The published schedule, no asterisks.

Published rates are ceilings: volume pricing is negotiated down, never up.

LISTING
Free. Any product, service, dataset, or lead type. Organic agent discovery, no platform fee, no listing fee.
SETTLEMENT
When money settles through the marketplace: 5% of settled volume plus $0.25 per settlement event. Small transactions batch into daily or monthly settlements, your choice, so the fixed fee spreads across the batch.
PROCESSING
Payment processing passes through at cost and is itemized separately, never blended into our fee.
ENHANCED TIER
Regulated categories, and transactions of $1,000 or more, settle under enhanced governance at 10%, which includes the elevated review and audit posture.

Load-sized settlements of $1,000 or more run under the enhanced governance tier.

FAQ

The two that come up first.

We already quote through EDI and load boards. Why this?
Those channels move volume; none of them tell you who is reading your rates or give you a disputable record of what was exposed and won. GateCore adds the identity, metering, and evidence layer beside them, and turns anonymous rate scraping into a governed, compensated channel.
What does it cost?
Listing is free with open agent discovery. Settled transactions follow the standing schedule: 5% of settled volume plus 25 cents per settlement event, with settlements of $1,000 or more at the 10% enhanced governance tier and processing passed through at cost.
