For Vendors · TMS
Meet buyers who did the work before the first call.
PreShiftIQ™ connects your TMS product with buyers across the freight ecosystem, shippers, brokers, carriers, and 3PLs, who have completed a structured assessment of their requirements. Both sides arrive at discovery prepared, and the match is built on measured fit.
What you get
Qualified, documented leads
Every buyer arrives having completed a structured requirements assessment. You receive their stated requirements, including their non-negotiables, before the first conversation.
Both sides prepared
No cold discovery. The buyer knows what they need and you know it too, so the first call starts where a normal sales cycle gets to on call three.
Participatory accuracy
Your scorecard is how buyers see your fit. You can engage to keep it accurate, because a reference layer only works when the vendors in it are represented accurately.
How the model works
PreShiftIQ is vendor-funded and buyer-aligned: vendors pay for outcomes, never for influence.
- No fee to participate. No fee to be scored. No fee to appear in match results.
- You pay only when the platform delivers an outcome, a qualified lead you accept and a deal that closes.
- No placement fees. No ranking sales. No sponsored slots.
- No commercial arrangement alters a vendor's scorecard, match eligibility, or match ranking. Those are determined solely by measured fit against a buyer's requirements.
The alignment is enforced, not promised.
Buyer trust is the asset every vendor is paying to reach, so we do not ask anyone to take the alignment on faith. It is built into the platform and recorded.
Matching is payment-blind by construction
What a vendor pays never enters the scoring path. The engine that computes fit has no access to billing or commercial terms, so a vendor's economics cannot reach the match even in principle.
Every decision is on the record
Each scoring decision is written to an immutable, time-stamped audit trail that names the actor behind it. The platform can demonstrate that a score was computed from measured fit and nothing else.
This is what buyer-aligned means in practice: the money never touches the match, and the record proves it. It is the same standard that protects you, no competitor can buy a ranking you earned on fit.
How matching works
PreShiftIQ runs disqualification-first matching. A vendor that does not meet a buyer's hard requirement is excluded before scoring begins, so the buyer never sees a match that cannot serve them. Matching never penalizes a vendor for data we have not measured yet; it gates only on a requirement a vendor is known to lack. Remaining fit is scored across the assessed dimensions and ranked.
What you see as a vendor
You see only your own standing and your own leads. No vendor can ever see another vendor's scorecard, scores, or client leads. Every vendor's view is fully isolated.

Watch points
Peak season runs October through December; the cutover cannot land in that window.
Non-negotiable requirements
Implementation completed within the 3 to 6 month window. No long-term platform lock-in beyond the initial term.
Sample data shown for illustration. You receive the client's complete requirements assessment; selections the client marked confidential in the assessment are never released to any vendor. Outreach is governed by the mutual NDA executed at onboarding. Client information may not be resold, shared, or re-exposed to any third party.
Screens are illustrative and use sample data. A real client's identity and requirements are revealed to you only after you accept the lead.
The reference layer for TMS selection
PreShiftIQ maintains the canonical reference layer for TMS selection, with 102 vendors mapped across the category. Being represented accurately in that layer is how serious buyers find and evaluate you. Vendors who engage help keep their own scorecard precise, which is the fastest path to a well-matched lead.
Getting started
- Create your vendor profile at app.preshiftiq.com and claim your TMS product.
- Complete your vendor scorecard so your fit is measured accurately across the assessment dimensions.
- Review your scorecard with the PreShiftIQ team in a working session, so your product is represented accurately before any buyer sees it.
- Receive qualified, documented buyer leads matched to your product on measured fit.
Bring your team in. You can invite collaborators to help complete and manage your scorecard, and you control who has access. Every collaborator is scoped to your account only, so inviting your team never exposes your information to another vendor.
