The problems
Your Team is Still Building Quotes from Scattered Information and Inboxes
Shipment details, rates and charges are spread across emails, attachments and pricing files. Every RFQ means extra work before a quote is ready.
Re-entering shipment details
Origin, destination, cargo, weight and dimensions are typed in by hand from emails.
Finding the right pricing
Rates and charges stored in different places make comparison slow.
Keeping up with requests every day
New RFQs keep arriving while your team is still working the last one.
Checking charges and margins
Rates, charges and customer-specific pricing all need review before a quote moves forward.
