Overview
The Target Buy Rate is the rate that AI model predicts for your brokerage for a specific lane. The Network Rate is a general market rate.
The Target Buy Rate and the Network rate are based on different data. The Target Buy Rate is based on historical data from your particular brokerage and reflects your company's history and buying power. The Network Rate is based on data from the Greenscreens Network. It gives you an idea of the general market rate for a lane.
The Greenscreens Network
The GS Network is composed of all Greenscreens customers. We never share data from any one customer. Any network data is aggregated from multiple customers and presented anonymously to give each user an idea of what's going on in the general market. GS Network predictions are not biased toward any one customer.
You can track Network Rates over time on the GS Network tab.
Why We Include Both Rates
Sometimes a brokerage doesn't have much historical data for a lane. This means your Target Buy Rate will probably come with a lower Confidence Level, since the AI has less data to work with. In these cases, the Network Rate can provide an alternate rate backed by aggregated data.
Many brokers find it effective to use the Network Rate when it has a higher Confidence Level than the Target Buy Rate.
