FEATURES

Five modules. One record from the inquiry to the payment.

Rivo is one system, sold as one thing. It is described here in five parts because that is how the work divides, not because you buy them separately.

01 PROCUREMENT

Post an inquiry. Let the carriers compete.

You describe the lane, the cargo and how many trucks you need, invite the carriers you already work with, and set how long bidding stays open. Bids are blind. A carrier can revise its own bid inside the window; it never sees anybody else’s amount, only where its own bid stands.

Invited carriers only. Your inquiry is not published to a market.
Rules stated before the bid. Minimum decrease, bid step, close time, revisions allowed.
Award with a reason. Not the lowest bid? Rivo asks why, from a fixed list, and keeps the answer.
Too few bids is visible. If only one carrier bid, you see that before you award, not after.

BY SEA

Post a sea inquiry. Let the forwarders compete.

Raise a sea inquiry in the same wizard: ports, container types and counts, import or export, incoterms, port to port or door at either end, and which charges to quote. Invite the freight forwarders you already work with.

Blind, against a clock. Each forwarder sees only whether it is lowest.
A quote is a sailing. Shipping line, sail date, arrival, transit time, how long the price holds, free days at destination.
Several sailings per forwarder. Priced line by line per container, or as one lump sum with what it covers ticked.

02 CONTRACTS

A rate you have already agreed, applied automatically.

A contract is the rate you have already agreed with a carrier for a lane, usually for a year, with any fuel clause written in. When a load matches that lane, Rivo awards it at that rate. There is no auction.

Bidding stays the default. Every load without a contract goes to your carriers to bid on.
Fuel clause recorded. If the contract has one, Rivo records the published fuel rate for the day the goods moved.
No credits. Contracted loads cost nothing on Rivo.

03 AWARD GOVERNANCE

Every award that is not the cheapest carries a reason.

Award anything other than the lowest bid and Rivo asks for a reason from a fixed list. Because the reasons come from a list and not a comment box, they can be counted.

A fixed list. Equipment, availability, service record, contract commitment.
Countable afterwards. How often was the cheapest bid passed over last quarter, and why.
Attached to the award. The reason travels with the record, not with a person’s memory.

BY SEA

Award a sailing, not a company.

Every sailing from every forwarder sits side by side in one sheet, cheapest marked. Cheapest and soonest stop being the same question.

One sailing, not a company. You award a specific sailing.
The vessel stays fixed. Once quoted, a forwarder can lower its price but never swap the vessel.
Nothing disappears. A withdrawn sailing stays visible, greyed out. Quotes expire on a countdown.

04 TRANSPORTS AND DOCUMENTS

Every truck across every inquiry, in one list.

An accepted award becomes a transport. The carrier assigns the truck and driver, the plant records loading and delivery, and the paperwork sits on the trip it belongs to.

One list for the group. Every plant, every lane, one screen.
Documents on the transport. Bilty, weighbridge slip, signed delivery note.
No proof, no bill. A transport without delivery proof cannot be invoiced.
No vehicle tracking. States change when a person at the gate records them.

BY SEA

Every container is its own job.

Each container becomes its own job: number, line, vessel, voyage and seals, with documents filed against it.

A full timeline. Empty collected, gated in, loaded, sailed, arrived, discharged, gated out, empty returned.
Promised against actual. The arrival date that won the job beside the date it actually arrived.
Flagged for you. Late against the quote, or discharged and not collected.

05 BILLING AND PAYMENTS

Nobody types an amount.

The invoice is built from the awarded rate and what the transport did. There is no field where a person enters a figure, so there is nothing to mistype, dispute or quietly adjust.

Built from the award. The rate you negotiated is the rate you pay.
Extras, with evidence. Extra charges — detention, an extra drop — are claimed by the carrier against the truck, with evidence, and approved or refused by you. Nothing is added automatically.
Payment on the same record. “What did we pay for this truck” has one answer.
