Quotiss alternative: no quote form to fill in

Quotiss is a well-reviewed quoting tool (4.6 on Capterra) priced from US$69 per user a month: your team builds each quote in it, faster than in a spreadsheet. Laneworks takes the next step. It reads the customer's email itself, prices it from your rate sheet and writes the reply, so nobody builds the quote at all.

Where Laneworks wins

No typing: the request email (and its attachments) is the input, and the priced reply is the output.
Works with any mailbox, Gmail or Microsoft 365, because you simply forward.
Rate updates by email: forward a carrier's rate notice and your sheet updates itself, with undo.
Auto-reply sends fully priced quotes straight to the customer, 24/7.
Priced by quote volume with unlimited users, so adding people costs nothing.

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. Anything unusual comes to your team as a ready-to-send draft instead.

What Laneworks costs

Monthly price by quote volume, not per user: every person on the team can forward to it. Plans start at A$1,500 a month (about US$980 or £780) including 150 quote requests; larger plans cover 500 and 1,500 requests a month. No per-quote fees, a one-off A$2,500 setup fee (waived on annual plans), cancel any time.

The free trial needs no card, no call and no sign-up: forward one real quote request to try@getlaneworks.com and the priced reply comes back in about two minutes. Attach your rate sheet and it's priced from your own rates. 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
