Ocean freight quote software for forwarders

Ocean freight quote software should price an FCL or LCL request the way your best person does: the right rate for the lane and container size, then every origin, destination and accessorial charge that applies. Laneworks does that from your own rate sheet in about two minutes, by email, alongside CargoWise or whatever system you run.

What an ocean quote needs

FCL: ocean freight per 20GP, 40GP and 40HC, with surcharges (BAF, PSS, peak) kept as separate lines when your sheet has them.
LCL: rate per W/M with the minimum applied, so small shipments are never quoted below cost.
Local charges: THC, documentation, ISPS, clearance, biosecurity and delivery by zone, each one line from your sheet.
Incoterms: FOB, EXW, CIF and DAP requests priced with the charges that term includes; a missing Incoterm is marked as an assumption.
Validity: only rates valid on the shipping date are used.

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

Does it handle mixed container requests?

Yes. A request for 2 x 40HC and 1 x 20GP is priced per container from the matching rows, with local charges per box where your sheet says so.

What if a carrier's rates change?

Forward the carrier's rate notice to your rates address and the sheet is updated, with a summary of what changed. Expired rates are never quoted.

Do we need to change our TMS?

No. Laneworks works by email next to CargoWise, Magaya or any other system. Nothing to install or migrate.
