GoFreight alternative for email quoting

If you're looking at a GoFreight alternative because quoting still means someone re-typing every emailed request into a system, the gap may be the email, not the TMS. GoFreight is a full cloud freight forwarding system with its own rate management and quoting module. Laneworks is narrower: it answers the quote requests that land in your inbox, priced from your own rate sheet, in about two minutes.

GoFreight and Laneworks, side by side

GoFreight: a cloud forwarding system (operations, accounting, CRM, rate management and quotations) that your team works in every day. Moving to it is a system change.
Laneworks: no system change. It reads the customer's email and attachments, prices the request by fixed rules from your rate sheet and writes the reply. It runs alongside GoFreight, CargoWise, Magaya or a spreadsheet.
Many forwarders need both: a system of record for jobs, and something that turns inbox requests into priced replies fast.

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.

Replies that send themselves

Switch on auto-reply and a request that is fully priced from your rates, with nothing flagged, goes straight back to the customer from your own mailbox, usually within two minutes, nights and weekends included. A missing rate, a guessed detail or a quote above the limit you set comes to your team as a draft instead, and you get a copy of every reply sent.

Pricing

Free trial on your own emails: forward one quote request to try@getlaneworks.com, or attach your rate sheet and it's priced from your own rates. Plans start at A$1,500 a month (about US$980 or £780) including 150 quote requests. Monthly plans by quote volume, no per-quote fees, cancel any time. Pricing

Check the accuracy yourself

Laneworks publishes its test: 22 messy quote requests (port codes, EXW pickups, air volumetric weight, LCL weight-or-measure, reefer, dangerous goods, spreadsheet and PDF attachments) run against a rate sheet you can download, with every total recalculated by hand. Whichever quoting tool you choose, ask for the same on your own requests. Laneworks will run 20 of yours against your rate sheet, free, and send back the scored workbook. See the benchmark
