Market intelligence that strengthens every pricing decision

DATiQ brings lane-level truck rate benchmarking directly into the IntelliTrans TMS platform, helping bulk and break-bulk shippers make smarter tendering and budgeting decisions. With real-time spot and contract rate insights, your team can plan with more clarity and negotiate with greater confidence.
