Sound familiar?
I hear this from every company I talk to.
Pricing from memory
Forwarders quote from gut feeling. Too high - you lose the customer. Too low - you lose the margin. Everyone in the office prices differently.
New hire = 6 months to ramp up
Juniors have no feel for rates. It takes half a year before they quote with confidence. Meanwhile, the company loses money on mispriced shipments.
Data locked in spreadsheets
You have years of shipment data, but it sits in spreadsheets that nobody searches. Route history should support future quotes, not collect dust.
From route to rate in 3 steps
You enter the route. You get pricing from your data. In 10 seconds.
Enter origin and destination
Type postal codes or city names. The system automatically recognizes countries, normalizes codes, and selects a vehicle type based on cargo parameters.
A 9-step cascade searches your database
The algorithm searches your historical shipments in 9 progressively wider steps: from exact postal code match, through logistics regions, all the way to country-level trends.
You get a price range with confidence level
You see a min-max range in EUR, the number of matched routes, EUR/km rate, and a confidence level: high, medium, low, or indicative - so you know how much to trust the result.
