Critical to the development of best in market pricing is the ability to contact service providers in a real time mode to take advantage of their current best pricing. While contract and published pricing provide strong benchmarks, the best pricing is generally developed on a case-by-case basis.

The Magenta netSource Trading Desk maintains active business relationships with over 100 carriers worldwide, enabling us to develop pricing using the most up-to-date information on supply and market conditions. Beyond initial quote, the trading desk also enables us to provide for the best pricing at time of order placement. By dealing with a single point of contact, we ensure that services ordered, whether on the initial quote or via a requote, match customer business rules and requirements for quality, delivery, and service assurance.
