Registration is free, account on the platform is free of charge.
Infracht platform is free for carriers; having an account, submitting offers in auctions and RFPs is totally free of charge.
The fee collection system is very simple and does not force the customer to buy a subscription or pay other access fees.
The customer posts a load in an auction or an RFP. Commission is charged from the final price of the load transport service which the customer is obliged to pay to the carrier. The minimum commission is 5 PLN. The commission can be checked with a calculator.
If the customer does not find a carrier for the load, commission is not charged.
For customers posting large amounts of loads, we have prepared attractive packages valid for 30 days from the date of purchase. As far as the package with unlimited posted loads is concerned, you can buy a package valid for 365 days. Commission fees are not charged for users of any load package. Remember that each posted load (both in an auction and an RFP) is deducted from the package, regardless on its final result.
In order to post loads on the website, you need an active account. If you do not have an account yet, sign up, provide necessary details, and complete the account activation.
In order to post a load, sign in to your account, click on the NEW LOAD button, and you will be redirected to a proper form.
The Platform allows to post any kind of load.
You will be transferred to a page containing the load details, allowing you to change the parameters and details necessary to post new load.
A suggested price is the price of the transport of load offered in an RFP. It is not obligatory to define the suggested price.
A starting price is the maximum price the customer wishes to pay for the transport service specified in a load auction.
The customer defines one price of the transport of load; by accepting the load, the carrier accepts the conditions.
Posting an RFP for the transport of load allows to collect offers from many carriers and choose the best, not necessarily the cheapest one at any time before the deadline for the submission of offers.
The customer accepts the offer by clicking ACCEPT.
The deadline for the submission of offers in an RFP ends with the acceptance of an offer. The carrier whose offer has been accepted is informed about it by e-mail containing the details and contact details, while other carriers are informed that another offer has been chosen in the given RFP.
If the customer does not choose any offer before the deadline for the submission of offers, the RFP ends unresolved. The customer can post such a load again, providing e.g. more details or changing the method of posting, to encourage carriers to submit offers.
Note! In the course of bidding, the Carrier can submit a price offer exceeding the Customer's expectations. Such an offer serves as an information for the customer about the existence of a carrier interested in transporting the load but at a higher price.
Remember, however, that in this option the Buy Now price must be lower than the starting price. The first offer submitted by the carrier which will reach the level of the starting price will cancel the option of Buy Now.
Upon finishing the auction, the customer receives an e-mail containing the summary, carrier's details and the phone number of the carrier's contact person in order to agree on the final details of the transaction together.
The customer has the right to deny entering into a transaction with the carrier when the latter does not possess proper documents with the expiry date exceeding the agreed date of transport, when there are justified doubts concerning the reliability of the carrier or due to other substantial reasons.
The user can bid a load in an auction with an outbidding amount not less than 10 PLN/5 EUR/ 5 GBP/ 5 USD.
Yes, the customer can change the suggested price at any time until the deadline for the submission of offers.
Yes, the customer can change the starting price during an auction provided that it has not been reached earlier, and only to the value lower than the best offer submitted. Users participating in an auction will be notified of the increased starting price which can turn out to be interesting for them.
It is possible to change the Buy Now price if nobody started bidding – after bidding was started by the carrier, the Buy Now option becomes unavailable.
If the carrier bids below the starting price, it is still possible to change the Buy Now price.
It is possible to change the Buy Now price until the offer for the transport of load is submitted by the carrier.
In the COMMISSIONING ENTITY section, below the commissioning person's details, you can find an icon enabling you to send a message directly to the customer.
A message icon, visible only to the customer, can be found next to the login of the carrier who bid on a load. The carrier will receive an e-mail at the address provided in the details of the posted load.
Just click on the tab: SEARCH FOR LOADS. Available load which you can submit offers for will appear on the website.
The user can also utilize the advanced search tool. It allows to filter the database for loads which meet specific criteria, e.g. weight, cargo length, auction end date or the deadline for the submission of offers, acceptable trailer type, load category, acceptable method of loading.
As a customer, you can introduce changes in the description of the auctioned load until the starting price is reached or a load is won with the Buy Now option. The load cannot be edited after the staring price is reached. To correct any errors in details, you have to cancel the auction and create a new one.
In case of an RFP, changing of the suggested price is possible at any time, while the details and the deadline for the submission of offers can be changed until the first transport offer of the posted load is received.
As a customer, you can cancel an auction in justified cases only, e.g. change of deadline, place of loading/unloading, delayed preparation of goods, damage/theft of goods. The auction participants receive an email explaining the reasons for the load cancelling.
