Who looks for a ShipNet alternative

People looking for a ShipNet alternative sometimes want the whole ERP replaced, but often they only need the procurement and quoting step to work better without a multi-month ERP project. Tidal targets that step specifically.

Why teams choose Tidal

Tidal reads inbound email RFQs, matches line items to IMPA and ISSA codes at 90%+ first-pass accuracy, applies your margins and returns a quote in under 30 minutes. It is publicly priced from $2,500 per month with no per-RFQ fees or volume caps, goes live in about a week, and runs standalone or integrates with an ERP.

When ShipNet is still the right fit

A full ERP like ShipNet still fits when you need one integrated system of record for fleet management, maintenance, accounting and crewing. Tidal is not an ERP; it automates the RFQ-to-quote step and can feed your ERP.
