Tabi Connect's Integration with ShipperGuide Drives 2x Spot Bookings for Ryan Transportation
Early results for the 3PL show booking growth and 90% of loads priced via API, delivering measurable ROI within one week
MIAMI, May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tabi Connect, an automated rate management and freight quoting platform, has integrated with ShipperGuide, an AI-native Shipper TMS, to give providers access to shipper freight digitally and streamline freight quoting and execution. In its first month operating on the combined platform, Ryan Transportation, one of the first brokerages to go live, saw spot bidding opportunities increase and bookings double. Additionally, more than 90% of loads were priced via API, highlighting increased speed, efficiency, and competitiveness.
The benefits extend to the shipper side as well. As carrier rejection rates have climbed, more freight is landing on the spot market under time pressure. The combination of ShipperGuide’s API speed and Tabi Connect's real-time rate control eliminates the friction of manual coverage. When a primary carrier rejects a tender, shippers don't have to scramble to the load board. Instead, API-connected brokers respond instantly with pricing that reflects current market conditions. For operations teams managing high load volumes, this integration offers a more reliable alternative to chasing freight on the open market. The results from Ryan Transportation reflect a broader shift within the brokerage sector. With the U.S. truckload spot market hitting a new cycle high of $2.82 per mile, velocity is becoming the primary differentiator. Brokers operating through API connections post higher tender acceptance rates, while those relying on manual entry often lose loads before they can even respond. The Ryan Transportation results in month one are a concrete example of what that access can mean in practice.
"Brokers that are now leveraging API’s are going to be in a much better position when the market tightens," said Ricky Gonzalez, CEO at Tabi Connect. "The brokers who have these connections in place are winning freight. The ones who don't are watching it go to someone else. This partnership is about making sure our customers are on the right side of that."
Modern integration speeds have also been a catalyst for success. What once took six months to a year to build now takes only one week. "We built our platform around the idea that fast, reliable access to capacity should be the baseline," said Giovanni Battistella, VP of ShipperGuide at Loadsmart. "Ryan Transportation was up and running in one week. That speed allows brokers to see immediate ROI and scale without heavy upfront resource commitments."
