Standardize your quoting process
Many forwarders still send quotations from manually edited documents or spreadsheets. That is slow, and it introduces inconsistencies that damage your professional image. With automation, you can:
- Pre-build branded quotation templates
- Auto-fill key customer details
- Standardize pricing logic per route, client and trade lane
Using a platform like Quotiss, your team can generate accurate, on-brand quotes in a couple of clicks — reducing quote turnaround time by up to 90%.
Track leads and conversions with a built-in CRM
When quotations live in one system with the customer relationship, nothing falls between inboxes. Your team can see the commercial history behind every request:
- Quotation status at a glance
- Follow-up owned by a person, not a reminder
- Won and lost outcomes feeding your analytics
Quotes create opportunities; the CRM keeps them moving.
Use automated email templates
Most of the communication around a quotation repeats itself. Templates keep the tone consistent and free your team for the commercial conversation:
- Send quotations from your own email address
- Reply inside the original customer thread
- Forward incoming requests straight into Quotiss
AI extracts the relevant information from the request and prepares the draft — your team reviews and decides.
