Carriers now have access to real-time market rate benchmarks, informed by one of the largest freight transaction networks in
Carriers using Cortex can now see current market rate benchmarks alongside every load — giving dispatchers the pricing context they need to avoid underpriced freight before it's accepted, not after.
Rate Data Based on Real, Audited Transactions. Now Inside Cortex.
Real-time market rate benchmarking has historically been a broker and shipper advantage. Both have used rate intelligence tools to price freight dynamically and protect margin. Carriers have largely been working without that same signal — relying on historical data, experience, or instinct.
That changes with this integration. Triumph processes transactions based on more than
The Integration: What It Does
When configured, Cortex Opportunity Manager and Backhaul Booster pull live rate benchmarks from Triumph Market Rate Intelligence and display them at the point of freight evaluation. Dispatchers see where each load stands relative to current market conditions — before they commit.
Fleets without a Triumph subscription are covered as well. Both features fall back to PCS historical rate data automatically, so there's always a pricing reference available. Each rate source is clearly labeled so dispatchers always know where the number is coming from.
"Ranking freight without pricing context is incomplete," said Danielle Villegas, Chief Product Officer at PCS Software. "This integration closes that gap. Carriers can see what the market is paying, compare it against their own cost structure, and make a faster, more confident decision — right inside Cortex."
"Speed matters, but margin matters more," said Mark Hill, CEO of PCS Software. "Giving carriers access to the same market rate intelligence brokers have relied on — inside the TMS where they're already working — is exactly the kind of advantage Cortex was built to deliver."
"Rate intelligence has always been most powerful when it's available at the moment of decision," said Matt Silver, SVP of Enterprise Partnerships at Triumph. "Integrating Triumph Market Rate Intelligence directly into Cortex puts that data where carriers need it most — so they can price freight confidently and protect their margins."
Availability
Triumph Market Rate Intelligence integration is live now within Cortex Opportunity Manager and Backhaul Booster. Access requires a Cortex and Triumph subscription.
