Logistaas alternative for quoting by email

If you're looking at a Logistaas alternative because you need faster quotes rather than a new TMS, you may not need to change systems at all. Logistaas is a forwarder TMS priced per user, with quoting as one part of the system. Laneworks does one job: it answers the quote requests that arrive by email, priced from your own rate sheet, in about two minutes.

Logistaas and Laneworks, side by side

Logistaas: a full TMS for small and mid-sized forwarders (published pricing around US$45–85 per user per month plus implementation, checked Oct 2026). Your team works in it every day.
Laneworks: no system change and no per-user fees. It reads the customer's email and attachments, prices the request from your rate sheet by fixed rules and writes the reply. Monthly price by quote volume.
If you already run a TMS you like, Laneworks sits beside it and handles the inbox.

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
