What Bidders does, in full

bidding

Bid faster on Sylectus without leaving your inbox.

The board reads Sylectus blasts and direct broker email, ranks the offers worth a look against your actual trucks, and keeps the original message one click away for the odd detail an offer leaves out.

  1. A board ranked by fit, not arrival time

    Route, equipment, miles, and pickup timing are pulled into fields you can scan, weighed against where your trucks actually sit right now.

  2. A bid composer with guardrails

    The reply is prepared with truck, ETA, and rate expectation filled in. A send check verifies the selected truck's equipment, availability, and road-deadhead.

  3. Broker replies, threaded

    A broker's response attaches back to the right bid conversation automatically, instead of landing as a fresh, disconnected email.

  4. You still click send

    Bidders does not auto-book loads. A dispatcher reviews every prepared reply before it goes out.

driver app

The trip moves to the phone the moment the bid is won.

Bidders Driver is the driver-side companion to the dispatch board. Once you've reviewed and sent the award, an awarded load becomes a trip on the phone without a second phone call.

Shown capability

Trips and Load Radar

Assigned stops, times, and route match what dispatch sees on the board, plus nearby matched loads a driver can flag interest on.

Background GPS, tied to the trip

Location shares with dispatch while a trip is active, so a customer ETA doesn't require calling the cab. Tracking stops when there is no active trip.

Offline proof of delivery

POD photos capture, crop, and queue for upload even with no signal, and sync automatically once the driver is back in range.

Dispatch chat on the load

Dock changes and delivery instructions stay in one thread tied to the trip, not scattered across texts.

back office

The paperwork stays organized after the load moves.

Loads, fleet, and teams live in one system, with an accounting desk that turns RateCons, PODs, and workbook rows into a decision instead of a folder of attachments.

review desk

A load lifecycle that can't skip steps

Delivered, free, confirmed, invoiced, closed: the state machine rejects a backward or skipped move, so closeout can't get ahead of the paperwork.

Fleet, drivers, and teams in one place

Vehicle and driver records export to spreadsheet with the columns and filters you choose, so a compliance or roster pull doesn't need a rebuild each time.

Roles that match how a desk actually splits work

Teams and permissions separate who can bid, who can approve accounting, and who administers the account.

deadheadloadedCV-17 reporting

Deadhead measured on real roads, not a straight line.

Matching and live tracking share the same road-true distance, so the number that ranks a load is the same number that shows up on the map.

  1. Valhalla road-true deadhead

    Distance and drive time to pickup come from a truck-routable calculation, not a straight-line estimate, so a truck that looks far on a map still surfaces correctly when it isn't.

  2. A live map with stop timers

    Dispatch sees where the truck is against the plan, with timers on each stop, not just a dot updating every few minutes.

  3. Controlled updates to brokers

    A dispatcher decides what a broker sees and when. The map is a dispatch tool first.

  4. Trip-scoped, not always-on

    Background location is tied to an active trip. Off duty and off a trip, tracking is off.

in-product training

academy

Train a new dispatcher on the loads, not on the fly.

Academy is a training course built into the product: lessons, quizzes, homework, and a proctored final exam, organized into cohorts a candidate joins with an invite code.

Courses and cohorts

Candidates join a cohort with an invite code and progress through gated lessons in order.

Quizzes, homework, and a final exam

Each lesson can carry a quiz or homework; a proctored final exam gates completion.

Grading and readiness insights

Academy managers grade open responses and see cohort-level progress and readiness before a candidate is handed a live board.
