Back-office employee

A quoting employee that turns the RFQ into a priced quote in minutes

It reads the spot quote request out of email, pulls the lane rate from your tools, applies your margin, and sends the quote back - so requests get answered in minutes instead of an hour, and you stop losing loads to a slow reply.

The process

How it works

Step 1

Reads the RFQ

Picks the rate request out of your shared inbox, parses the lane, equipment, dates, and stops, and pulls up the customer and their pricing agreement - no one re-keying it.

Step 2

Prices the lane

Pulls the current rate from your rating tools and lane history, applies your margin and customer-specific rules, and builds the quote - flagging anything thin or unusual instead of guessing.

Step 3

Sends & logs

Drafts the quote reply, sends it (or holds for review on the lanes you choose), and logs it to the TMS so coverage and follow-up have the full record.

Watch it work

From RFQ email to a sent quote

It reads the request out of the inbox, identifies the lane and equipment, pulls the rate from your rating tools and history, applies your margin rule, and drafts the quote back to the shipper - logged to the TMS.

Frequently asked

It pulls the current market rate from your rating tools - DAT and the like - blended with your own lane history, then applies your margin and any customer-specific pricing rules. It shows its work, so a rep can see exactly how the number was built.

Your call. You can let it auto-send on the lanes and customers you trust, and hold everything else for a one-click review. Thin-margin lanes, project bids, and anything unusual are always routed to a person rather than sent automatically.

Spot quotes that sit in a shared inbox for the better part of an hour get answered in minutes - and a faster quote wins more loads. Just as important, nothing falls through: every RFQ gets a response instead of being lost under the next one.

Your TMS, rating tools, and inbox - McLeod, Turvo, DAT, and email - quoting the way a pricing rep would, with no custom integration to start.
