Any password input restrictions?

Accepted Answer

The password must be at least 6 characters long and contain at least one half-width alphanumeric character each. You can change your password at any time after registration.

Question 5

What is the difference between a spot project and a regular project?

Accepted Answer

Spot projects are suitable for checking freights and schedules for individual shipments. Regular projects are suitable for managing freights and schedules for shipments that are arranged on a regular basis over a certain period of time (such as six months or a year). Regular projects are Excel-based and can be used for up to 1000 lanes at a time.

Question 6

Any RFQ templates available?

Accepted Answer

Since we use Excel for regular projects, we provide a template of RFQ format. You can freely customize the items you need from the system. Spot projects do not use Excel and are entered in the browser, so there is no template. Both have a project copy function, so you can copy past projects to reduce the workload.

Question 7

Is it possible to set a range of RFQ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can be set based on Incoterms 2010.

Question 8

What is the currency conversion rate?

Accepted Answer

There are 30 currencies available in e-Bid Freight. The conversion rate can be set for each project, either by the European Central Bank or by a currency master. The European Central Bank automatically obtains the conversion rate at the start of the project. For the currency master, the client can freely register the conversion rate.

Question 9

Is it possible to revise the quote after submission?

Accepted Answer

Once a quote has been submitted, it cannot be changed. Please use the message function to ask the client to "Remand".

Question 10

Is it possible to submit multiple quotes for a single project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible. You can submit multiple quotes for different service types.
