Tabi Connect, a freight rate management and quoting automation platform for transportation companies, today announced a partnership with Kleinschmidt, a provider of B2B integration and supply chain connectivity, to bring automated freight quoting to the Kleinschmidt Intelligence Network.

Freight quote requests moving through the network now route directly into Tabi, where each broker's own pricing rules and strategy are applied automatically. The quote goes back to the shipper in seconds, without a rep having to open an email or log in to see what freight is available first.

“Freight brokerage is more crowded than it’s ever been, and margins keep getting thinner, so speed and consistency are what actually separate the brokers who win from the ones who don’t,” said Ricky Gonzalez, CEO of Tabi Connect. “With Kleinschmidt’s network feeding opportunities straight into Tabi, a broker can have a quote back before their competitor has even opened the email or logged in to see what freight is available. That’s the growth engine. And because every quote runs through the same pricing logic, brokers get the data to actually deploy a markup and pricing strategy across their whole team, instead of leaving it up to whoever grabs the opportunity first.”

Tabi’s Pricing Logic Engine lets brokerages configure rules by customer, lane, equipment type and market conditions, and apply them consistently across every quote channel while keeping full visibility into the resulting rates.

The partnership also connects Tabi to Capacity IQ, Kleinschmidt’s predictive freight-capacity solution, which uses network data to forecast where and when carrier capacity is likely to become available. Pairing that signal with Tabi’s pricing logic gives brokers a read on available capacity before they price a load, not after they’ve already quoted it.

“Tabi helps brokers consistently apply their own pricing strategy to every opportunity,” said Dan Heinen, President and CEO of Kleinschmidt. “Combined with the Kleinschmidt Intelligence Network, it can dramatically shorten the time between receiving a quote request and responding.”

“We’re excited about where this partnership can go,” Gonzalez added. “Capacity data flowing into pricing means brokers can quote with more confidence, not just faster. And Capacity IQ’s network intelligence picks up demand-side signals early, ahead of when that freight actually hits the market. This is just the beginning of what Tabi and Kleinschmidt are going to build together.”
