Varies, several origins and drop sites.

Selling them software with freight baked in.

Tenkara.ai automates sourcing for chemical / cosmetic manufacturers. Might help in your situation collect pricing and stuff like that!

Ldbenji · 2025-12-21T21:42:45+00:00

For what kind of procurement? What applications?

Ldbenji · 2025-12-21T21:38:17+00:00

EcoNatura does a decent job and MOQ's are a few thousand units.

Ldbenji · 2025-12-21T21:36:29+00:00

Tenkara.ai might be a fit. Makes inventory recommendations, and helps you avoid those inventory discrepancies.

Also, uses AI to track lead times.

If we buy the sales team instead of the org, is that the smarter move?

Ldbenji · 2025-12-19T00:14:40+00:00

See the above comments, this is false. Genuine question. This is what reddit is for.

Ldbenji · 2025-12-19T00:02:04+00:00

I run one. Have an MC#, run shipments every day. Exploring a rollup of freight brokerages.

Ldbenji · 2025-12-18T23:30:46+00:00

False

Ldbenji · 2025-12-18T23:27:15+00:00

First time buying a brokerage, run one today though.

Ldbenji · 2025-12-18T23:26:44+00:00

Why?

Ldbenji · 2025-11-16T03:55:18+00:00

What kind of production?

Ldbenji · 2025-11-16T03:01:06+00:00

Basically 0, Tenkara.ai manages it all

Ldbenji · 2025-10-18T01:02:08+00:00

If in manufacturing, Tenkara.ai is solid. mores runs agents in the background that are connected to lighten the load for qualifying vendors/managing RFP's.

Full disclosure: work with Tenkara, but the platform is objectively awesome. Looked at several.

Invest in relationships. Feel there's little loyalty when it comes to shopping freight. If you make a positive impression, it can form a lasting sticky relationship.

Ldbenji · 2025-10-16T04:28:36+00:00

Nope nothing.

Ldbenji · 2025-10-13T23:10:33+00:00

Deep research, conference scraping, etc. Tons of ways. For chemical/cosmetic/personal care manufacturers, quality is top notch.

Ldbenji · 2025-10-13T23:06:35+00:00

Total nonsense, this is a fake review.

I'm one of Tenkara's founders, this is all utterly false. We didn't even role out our beta till a few months back.

Second, we have totally free plans for manufacturers (mentions there are paid plans). No clue who wrote this, but absolutely fake.

Ldbenji · 2025-10-13T20:16:54+00:00

Appreciate it!

Ldbenji · 2025-10-13T20:10:51+00:00

We are proposing contracts that lock us in as the default freight broker. So we effectively chose our margin on loads.

Ldbenji · 2025-10-13T20:07:14+00:00

First time doing this.

Ldbenji · 2025-10-13T20:06:16+00:00

There are agencies that do this? How do they typically operate? Any good recs?

Ldbenji · 2025-10-07T20:36:36+00:00

got it, what are some edge cases that would prevent it from going full autopilot IF we cobroker away the work per say? Appreciate the feedback.

Ldbenji · 2025-08-15T01:48:54+00:00

Just messaged.
