WebCargo by Freightos alternative for quote emails

WebCargo by Freightos gives forwarders air and ocean rates, carrier booking and a quoting tool. What it doesn't do is read the customer's email for you. Laneworks starts there: it reads the quote request as it arrives, prices it from your own rate sheet and replies, so nobody re-keys the request into a portal.

Free trial: forward a request to try@getlaneworks.com and the draft comes back in about two minutes. No sign-up, no call.

Where each one fits

WebCargo: buy-side rates and booking with carriers and airlines, plus rate management and quoting inside its platform.
Laneworks: the sell side of the inbox. Your customer's email in, a priced reply out, with every line traced to a rate in your sheet.
They can work together: keep sourcing rates where you do today, keep your sell rates in your sheet, and let Laneworks answer the emails.

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

Questions

Does Laneworks give us carrier rates?

No. It prices from your own sell rates. Rate sourcing stays with your carriers, platforms and contracts.

Can it update our rates when carriers change them?

Yes. Forward the carrier's rate notice and the changed rates are merged into your sheet in minutes, with a list of every change.

Do we have to log in to anything?

No. Everything works by email: forward requests in, priced replies come out.
