Ocean Freight Quoting Software for Freight Forwarders

Automated ocean freight quoting. Major carriers. Under 5 minutes.

Why Manual Ocean Freight Quoting Costs You

The hidden price of weak ocean freight rate management

Ocean Freight RFQ Response Time

Your team receives dozens of ocean freight quote requests daily. Each one requires checking multiple carrier rates, calculating surcharges, and formatting a response. By the time you reply, customers have already moved to a competitor.

Email Chaos

Tracking Gaps

No Centralized Ocean Freight Rate Management

Ocean freight rates live across carrier portals, spreadsheets, and email threads. Without a proper freight rate comparison tool, your team spends 20 to 30 minutes per quote just locating the right rates. That adds up to hours of lost productivity each day.

Manual Data Entry Slows FCL and LCL Quoting

Every quote requires copying shipment details from emails into your TMS. One ocean freight quote, whether FCL or LCL, takes 15 to 30 minutes of manual work. Multiply that across 40 requests per day, and you lose entire shifts to data entry.

System Silos

Margin Loss

Inconsistent Ocean Freight Pricing

Without centralized ocean freight pricing software, different team members quote different prices for the same lane. You risk margin erosion on up to 30% of quotes. Customers notice the inconsistency and lose trust in your operation.
