For companies offering freight and forwarding services, responding to freight inquiries quickly and accurately is essential. However, many businesses still rely on outdated manual processes to handle these inquiries, which can lead to inefficiencies, delayed responses, and potential loss of business.
In an industry where time is money, slow or incorrect responses to inquiries can mean the difference between securing a deal or losing a client to a competitor. These challenges are particularly felt by freight forwarders who deal with high volumes of inquiries daily—ranging from pricing requests to detailed shipment information. In fact, missed opportunities or inaccurate quotes can negatively impact sales and customer retention.
FREIGHTOSCOPE’S software is specifically designed to help freight and forwarding services providers like you streamline and automate the entire process of handling freight inquiries. With its powerful features and seamless integration, you can boost your sales and provide customers with the fast, accurate, and reliable information they need.
One of the most common freight inquiries is pricing. With FREIGHTOSCOPE’S Rate Management Solution, generating accurate freight quotes has never been easier. The software automatically calculates and provides instant quotes based on the customer’s shipment requirements, such as weight, dimensions, origin, and destination. It also connects you to hundreds of air/sea freight carriers, with live access to air, fcl,lcl, and SPOT rates.Â
