Freight quote software for South Africa forwarders

Freight quote software for South African forwarders and clearing agents should price a request the way your team does: the freight rate for the lane, then every port, clearance and transport charge that applies. Laneworks drafts that reply from your own rate sheet in about two minutes.

Built for quoting in South Africa

Quotes through Durban, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) and OR Tambo, with port, clearance and cartage charges from your own sheet.
Cross-border road legs priced as their own lines when your sheet has them.
FCL, LCL (W/M and minimums) and air (chargeable weight) from the same inbox.
Works by email alongside CargoWise or any other system, so there's nothing to install or migrate.

How it works

Forward the customer's quote request to your Laneworks address, attachments and all.
We read it: lane, cargo, weights and dimensions, Incoterm and delivery address are pulled out of the email and any packing list.
We price it by fixed rules against your own rate sheet. The AI never sets a price, and every line names the rate-sheet row it came from.
Sent for you, or checked by you. With auto-reply on, fully priced quotes go straight to your customer from your own mailbox, usually within two minutes, 24/7. Anything unusual comes to your team as a draft.

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

Which currencies does it quote in?

Whatever your rate sheet uses: USD for freight and ZAR for local charges is common. Each currency is totalled separately, with no silent conversion.

Does it work for clearing agents as well as forwarders?

Yes. Clearance-only requests are priced from your fee schedule, and door-to-door requests add the freight and transport lines from your sheet.

Do we need to change our system?

No. Laneworks works by email next to CargoWise, Magaya or whatever you use today.
