Tabi Connect released Control Tower, which allows brokers to maintain visibility over every automated rate, providing a specialized review queue where they can evaluate, adjust, or decline quotes before they are published to connected load platforms.
"Freight teams have told us for years that automation only works if they can trust it," says Ricky Gonzalez, CEO of Tabi Connect. "Control Tower gives brokers the visibility to build that trust before they hand over full control, and the option to keep a hand on every pricing decision permanently if that is what their business needs."
Key takeaways:
· Operating directly within the Tabi platform, Control Tower functions seamlessly alongside pre-existing configurations, connections, and pricing guidelines without requiring additional setup.
· In standard mode, calculated rates are published automatically, whereas activating Control Tower channels those quotes into a specialized review queue, ensuring nothing enters the market before you have evaluated it.
· When a shipment arrives from a connected platform, it routes automatically into the Control Tower queue based on the customer's configuration. Brokers see the full queue with origin, destination, equipment type, customer, Tabi's baseline rate, markup, fuel surcharge, final rate, rate per mile, and a live countdown timer showing how long remains before the shipment expires. Brokers can open any shipment for additional detail before deciding.
· Tabi built Control Tower for two types of teams: those easing into automation, who can run with its visibility until they consistently accept Tabi's rates without changes and are ready to remove the review step, and those who want to keep a permanent review layer because their quoting strategy depends on judgment calls — such as customer relationships or market conditions.
