For LTL carriers and 3PLs
Price a shipper's whole network before the bid.
Hylios models a shipper's facilities and lanes from public data, prices each lane on your own cost to serve, and shows where your network is advantaged and where it is not. Your sales team bids from a priced book, and every figure in it says whether it was measured or modeled.
Starts with a working session for your pricing and sales leads.
The bid usually starts with the shipper's lane file
A shipper sends a lane file, the clock starts, and your pricing team prices the lanes in front of it. The file shows the lanes the shipper chose to share. It does not show the rest of the account: the other facilities, the other lanes, or where your terminal network fits that account well and where it does not.
Hylios starts earlier. Your team sees the account, priced on your own network, before the file arrives.
What Hylios does for a carrier
Four steps, from public data to a book your sales team can bid from.
See the account first
Hylios models the shipper's network, its facilities and the lanes between them, from public data. Your team sees the account before the shipper sends a lane file.
Price it on your own costs
Each lane is priced on your own cost to serve across your terminal network. Not an industry average, and not someone else's network.
Know where you are advantaged
Hylios shows where your network is advantaged against other LTL carriers, and where it is not. Their cost structures are estimated from their public filings. Where a carrier files no numbers, the estimate is marked as modeled, never presented as measured.
Bid from a priced book
The result is a priced book your sales team can bid from. It states whose network it was priced from, and every figure in it says whether it was measured or modeled.
Built for the people who own the bid
- Pricing teams see the account's lanes priced on your own cost to serve, with the advantage and the gaps in plain view, before a rate goes out.
- Sales teams walk into the conversation knowing where your network fits the account and where it does not, with a book that shows its sources.
Every number says where it came from
A pricing team has to defend its numbers, inside the company and across the table. So every figure in a Hylios book carries one of two labels.
- Measured
- The figure comes from data that reports it.
- Modeled
- The figure is an estimate Hylios built, and the label says so. A competitor that files no numbers is always modeled.
Hylios does not set your rates. It makes your advantage, and the places you lack one, explicit. Your pricing team decides what to bid.
