The Challenge

Halliburton faced an urgent challenge: their legacy online freight bidding system, used globally for transportation quoting, bidding, and tendering, was no longer supported and failing to meet evolving business needs. They required a modern, scalable, and flexible solution that could support thousands of users worldwide, deliver real-time market pricing, and be easily adaptable to future logistics demands.

  • Perform contractual rating.
  • Access real-time, on-demand market quotes.
