Custom freight quotes, sourced from your agents

Custom freight quotes are where quoting time really goes: a lane that isn't on your sheet, dangerous goods, an unusual container, a delivery zone you don't have. Someone writes to a carrier or overseas agent, waits, then builds the quote by hand. Laneworks writes the requests, keeps the customer informed, and prices the quote the moment the rate comes back.

How a custom quote runs

  1. The request arrives. Laneworks reads it and prices everything your sheet covers, so destination charges, clearance and delivery are already done.
  2. The gap is named. The draft says exactly what's missing: the freight rate for this lane, DG acceptance, a 45HC rate, a delivery zone. Nothing is guessed.
  3. The rate requests are written. One per carrier or agent you work with on that lane, with every shipment detail and exactly what to send back: itemised rate and surcharges, validity, routing and transit, free time, and for DG the documents they need. One click opens each one in your own mailbox, ready to send.
  4. The customer hears from you in minutes. A specific holding reply ("we're confirming current ocean freight with our carrier for this lane") instead of silence.
  5. The rate comes back. Forward the agent's reply to your rates address. The rate is added to your sheet, and the waiting quote comes back to your team fully priced, with the PDF quotation, ready to send.

What's covered

Nothing is guessed

The AI only reads the request. Every price is set by fixed rules from your own rate sheet, every line names the row it came from, and anything that can't be priced (a lane or charge that isn't on your sheet, an expired rate, an unreadable attachment) is flagged for your team instead of filled in.

Questions

Does Laneworks email our agents for us?

No. The requests are written for you and open in your own mailbox with one click, so they come from you, to the agents you choose. Your relationships stay yours.

Which agents get the requests?

The carriers and agents you list during setup, matched by country and mode. If none are listed for a lane, the request is still written, ready to send to whoever you'd normally ask.

What happens when the agent replies?

Forward their reply to your rates address. The rate is added to your sheet with its validity, and every quote that was waiting for it is priced again and sent to your team.
