MIAMI, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tabi Connect (“Tabi”), an AI-powered pricing intelligence and automation platform for truckload brokers bidding on more than $29 billion in freight annually, launched a free online ROI Calculator that lets brokerages estimate the financial impact of automating their quoting process before they book a demo.
Brokerages have spent four years inside a freight downturn that traces back to April 2022, one that pushed spot rates and margins down for a long stretch and left many operators wary of adding a new software line item without a clear payback. FreightWaves’ June 2026 State of the Industry report found that broker margins remain compressed even as early signs of market rebalancing emerge, meaning brokers are being asked to invest in new tools at precisely the moment they can least afford an unproven one. What a broker wants to know first is whether the tool pays for itself, and by how much.
That’s exactly the question the new ROI Calculator is built to answer. In seconds, the calculator provides a realistic estimate of annual financial impact, helping brokerages quantify the value of automating their quoting process. It calculates two outcomes: the labor cost reclaimed through automation and the additional margin generated from an improved win rate, giving brokers a tangible payback figure for switching to an automated system. The calculator asks for a handful of numbers specific to a brokerage’s own operation, the number of brokers or account managers quoting freight, average annual pay, quotes handled per broker per day, current win rate, and average revenue per load, to generate the estimate.
“Every broker we talk to has already done this math in their head, they just haven’t seen it on paper,” said Ricky Gonzalez, CEO and co-founder of Tabi Connect. “Four years of thin margins taught this industry to distrust a sales pitch, so we didn’t build one. We built a calculator. Plug in your own numbers and get your own answer, not ours. What we’re seeing from early users is that the number is often bigger than they expected, once you combine the labor savings and the win-rate gains into one figure.”
Tabi’s platform now supports bids on more than $29 billion in freight annually across its customer base, real volume that shows the labor and win-rate gains in the calculator aren’t theoretical. They’re happening at scale today.
The ROI calculator is live now at tabiconnect.com. It takes under a minute, requires no sign-up, and gives a brokerage its own number for what manual quoting is costing them today.
