# Vibe Engine

> Vibe Engine is automated carrier tendering software for shippers (not brokerages). It collects carrier bids, compares them to live market rates, awards loads automatically, and integrates with TMS, ERP, and WMS systems.

## Product overview

- **Audience**: Shippers and in-house transportation teams moving freight on their own network.
- **Core job**: Automate how loads are tendered to carriers — replacing manual phone/email tendering with configurable strategies.
- **Differentiator**: Real-time visibility into incoming carrier bids vs current lane market rates; shipper-first (not broker-first) workflows.

## Tender strategies

- **Wait for All (WFA)**: Sealed auction — collect all quotes in a window, auto-award lowest qualified bid.
- **Waterfall**: Offer target rates down a ranked carrier list; first acceptance wins.
- **Critical**: Fast-cover for hot freight near pickup; first qualifying yes wins.

## Carrier channels

- **Email**: AI parses carrier replies (rates, yes/no, counters) into structured bids.
- **API**: Sub-second bidirectional offers for integrated carriers.
- **EDI**: Standard X12 sets (204 tender, 990 response, 214 status, etc.).

## Integrations

Native and custom connectors for:

- **TMS**: Turvo, Rose Rocket, McLeod
- **ERP**: NetSuite, SAP
- **WMS**: Custom integrations available
- **API**: REST + webhooks for in-house systems
