What is Tactical Procurement?
You are looking at a region-level summary of your optimized load acceptance plan. It not only aggregates the loads that are ready to be accepted, but also the forecasted loads that are likely to come. The total of these actual loads and forecasted loads equals your optimized asset utilization.
In other words, you are looking at a tool that is doing the complex, distributional forecasting work so that you can focus on procuring the right loads for your network.
FAQs
What do I use this tool for?
To accept recommended loads going inbound/outbound in your region
To identify the loads that you need to go out and source

No.
The engine is complex and sophisticated, able to piece together the network in the most profitable way that may not be an exact one to one Inbound/Outbound result. Also, this tool looks at a day at a time, so the Inbound/Outbound may look too disparate for a single day, but over time the balance is there.
