Built from
freight experience
Quotiss was created by people who knew the freight industry long before they started building freight software. After more than a decade working in container shipping, we had experienced first-hand how much commercial time was spent searching for rates, preparing quotations, managing spreadsheets and repeating processes that should have been simpler.
We believed there had to be a better way.
We knew the problem before
we built the software
The idea behind Quotiss started inside the freight industry.
Before founding Quotiss, Marcin Zarzecki and Margarita Tokareva spent more than 10 years each working in container shipping, across different countries, functions and markets.
Marcin worked across sales and other business functions in Poland, Belgium, Russia and Kenya. Margarita worked in Russia, Italy, Spain and India, focusing particularly on sales process optimization and software implementation.
In 2015, while working together on a project to simplify and automate customer quoting, they started asking a bigger question…
Why should an experienced commercial team
spend so much of its time on repetitive work
before the actual selling even begins?
Freight will always be complex.
Rates, routes, charges, modes and customer
requirements are complex by nature.
But the commercial process
around them doesn’t have to be.
That idea became Quotiss.
From an idea
to a commercial
system for freight
In 2016, Michał Polak joined Marcin and Margarita as co-founder and CTO and built the first Quotiss prototype.
The early idea was simple: bring structure to freight rates and make quotation preparation smarter and easier.
Since then, the product has grown together with the freight forwarders using it. What started with freight rate management and quoting has developed into a connected commercial system spanning Rate Management, Quoting, CRM, Analytics, AI-assisted automation and Integrations — across Ocean, Air, Road and Rail.
Today, we call it
the Commercial Operating System
for multimodal freight forwarders.

A multimodal
Commercial
Operating System
Nearly a decade of building for freight.
Technology changes quickly. Freight doesn’t become simple overnight.
Over the years, we have worked closely with freight forwarders, seen thousands of real-world pricing and quoting scenarios, and continuously developed Quotiss around the way commercial freight teams actually work.
Technology should adapt to the reality of freight — not force freight teams to adapt to the technology.
We don’t believe the best software is the software with the most features. We believe it is the software that understands which complexity is necessary, which complexity can be removed, and where automation creates real commercial value.
What we believe
-
Freight expertise matters.
Building technology for freight requires understanding the industry behind it. Quotiss is built around real freight processes, terminology and commercial realities.
-
Automate where the rules are clear.
Repetitive, structured work should be automated wherever possible.
-
Complexity should have a reason.
Freight forwarding is inherently complex. The software supporting it shouldn’t create another layer of complexity.
-
Keep people in control where judgement matters.
Give teams access to structured rates and pricing information within the same workflow they use to build the customer offer.

Michał Polak
Co-founder & CTO
Michał joined Quotiss in 2016, turning the original freight concept into the first working software prototype. He leads Quotiss technology and product development, combining deep technical expertise with nearly a decade of building software specifically for the freight industry.
Built for freight. Still building for freight.
Our goal is to make the commercial side of freight simpler, more structured and increasingly automated — so freight forwarders can spend less time managing the process and more time growing their business.
“Freight forwarding will always be a complex business. Technology shouldn’t add another layer of complexity.”
