Loading Country and Unloading Country maps
The report runs automatically on the largest number of accepted freights at the unloading location (PL in this case).
- Loading Country map displays the number of loadings of accepted freights in each country in the time interval specified by the filter .
The numerical values and color saturation correspond to the number of accepted freights in a particular country.
- Unloading Country map
The map presents the countries in which transactions have been concluded for freights the loading location of which corresponds to the Loading Country indicated on the map. The higher the color saturation, the more transactions have been made. The map is displayed based on the Price per km parameter.

Price vs Offers chart
In the top bar, you can find a list of the most frequently selected routes along with the number of accepted freights. Please note that when you select a loading country above Loading and Unloading Maps in the top bar, you will find a list of the routes that began in the chosen country.

Chart legend:
Blue line - illustrates the median price of accepted freight. These are the values of accepted freights on the days when a formal transaction took place on the Platform. If there is no transaction on a given day, it will not be included on the X axis.
Grey bar - the range of price offers received from carriers. Its amount depends on the range of prices offered by the carriers.
The value above the bar is the number of price offers received for a given freight or freights.

As rates can vary from route to route, the most precise result is provided by the Exact route filter. It allows you to filter out a specific route. The filter adapts to the choices you make using maps and the freight negotiation chart.
