Overview

Instant Smart Pricing will be a new separate tab on the left-sidebar navigation. This is where brokers will be able to find a price for shippers and carriers. Currently, the brokerage are getting this information on the DAT website (mainly Rateview) but we are integrating it with the Zuum Admin webapp, so they dont have to leave the page.

The page has been updated with the latest iteration
