# Freight forwarders

Six cartons tells you how many, but not how much space they take. Collect packed dimensions, weight and the trade lane before the request reaches pricing. Connect the accepted quote to a shipment file when you’re ready.

## Get a freight enquiry your team can price.

- Build a usable freight quote. Collect origin, destination, cargo dimensions and mode. Record what the carrier charges and what you quote the shipper.
- Book the legs. Move the accepted quote into a shipment file with booking references, documents and a named partner for each handoff.
- Share the next milestone. Record arrival, clearance and final delivery as the updates come in. Show the shipper only the milestones and documents intended for them.

## What this changes for the owner

If your team records the cargo details, the quote and its owner together, a colleague can pick up a shipper’s request while you’re away.

## Website & quote requests

Give ocean, air and road customers a quote form that asks for the details needed for their mode and trade lane.

## CRM & follow-up

Keep shipper enquiries, agent contacts, rate versions and quote expiry dates together. Give sales an owner for the next follow-up.

## Starter ERP & tracking

Connect each accepted quote to a shipment file, its legs and a customer tracking page. Your team can start with manual milestone updates.

## Connected operations

Bring agent charges, sell rates, documents and handoffs together for shipment costing. Connect carrier events where your providers supply access.
