Key Features of Our Quote Management System
Our Quote Management System is packed with powerful features designed to streamline your quoting process, enhance pricing accuracy, and improve customer experience. From real-time freight quotes to customizable dashboards and detailed reporting, our system helps businesses create, track, and manage quotes efficiently, enabling data-driven decisions and seamless operations.
Real-Time Freight Quotes
Our Quote Management System (QMS) delivers real-time freight quotes for both parcel and LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipments, ensuring your business remains agile and responsive to customer needs. The system connects to your rate sheets and pulls in the latest data, offering quotes that reflect the most current market conditions, such as fuel surcharges, seasonal adjustments, and shipping route changes.
Real-life example: Suppose you’re a logistics provider receiving a request for a quote from a client in New York shipping to Los Angeles. Instead of manually calculating the shipping costs, your team simply inputs the shipment details (size, weight, destination, etc.), and the QMS generates an immediate quote. This quote pulls data from the most recent rates and offers the customer the best price available at that moment. If the rates have changed due to fuel costs or other variables, the customer receives the most up-to-date price instantly, ensuring transparency and saving time.
Custom and Spot Quotes
With the custom and spot quote capabilities of our QMS, you can offer tailored pricing for regular clients and one-time or irregular shipments, enhancing flexibility and building stronger customer loyalty. Custom quotes are crafted based on specific client needs, such as particular delivery windows or special requirements, while spot quotes allow for ad-hoc pricing, catering to non-regular or urgent shipments.
Real-life example: A customer who frequently ships large volumes of goods may have a custom quote with discounted pricing, while a new customer may need a one-time shipment for urgent delivery. The system allows you to generate a custom quote with special rates or create a spot quote based on current conditions, ensuring that both customers feel valued without requiring complex negotiations.
Rate Comparison
The rate comparison feature allows your sales team to compare the current quote with previous customer rates, regional variations, and other pricing parameters, ensuring that you maintain consistency and fairness across your business. This helps avoid pricing errors and enables you to apply custom markups in line with your strategic goals, whether it’s maintaining competitive pricing or increasing profitability.
Real-life example: Let’s say you’re offering quotes to customers in different regions, such as Texas and Florida. The rate comparison feature will allow you to compare the current quote with previous rates offered to those customers, ensuring that the pricing remains consistent and competitive across locations. This is especially important when dealing with repeat customers who expect stable pricing over time.
Automated Email Center
Our QMS includes an automated email system that simplifies communication with clients. Once a quote is generated, the system sends it directly to the customer for approval, reducing manual follow-ups and streamlining the process. When the customer accepts or rejects the quote, the system updates the status in real time, helping your team stay informed without the need for continuous checks.
Real-life example: After generating a quote for a shipping request, the system automatically emails the quote details to the customer. The customer can review the quote and approve it directly through the email link. Once approved, the system immediately updates the quote status on your dashboard, notifying your team of the acceptance. This reduces delays, ensures seamless communication, and eliminates the need for additional manual processes.
Live Dashboard for Real-Time Quote Tracking
The live dashboard is a key feature that allows your team to monitor the status of all quotes in real time. The dashboard provides a visual overview, showing which quotes are pending, accepted, or rejected. This functionality enhances organization and helps your sales team prioritize follow-ups based on quote status, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Real-life example: Imagine your sales team is handling multiple quotes at once. With the live dashboard, they can quickly glance at the color-coded statuses of each quote: green for accepted, yellow for pending, and red for rejected. This provides immediate clarity and allows your team to focus on which quotes need attention, ensuring timely follow-up and reducing administrative load.
Customizable to Your Business Needs
Our QMS is highly customizable, meaning it can be tailored to fit your unique business requirements. Whether it’s integrating the system with your existing Transportation Management System (TMS), uploading customer-specific rate sheets, or adding personalized features, the flexibility of the system ensures it aligns with your operational goals and provides an optimized experience.
Real-life example: For a logistics company with multiple clients and varying requirements, you may have unique rate sheets for each client or region. The system allows you to upload those rate sheets so that every quote reflects the correct pricing. Additionally, you can integrate it with your TMS to ensure that all data from the quoting process flows seamlessly into the rest of your operations, such as booking or tracking shipments.
Detailed Analytics and Reporting
Our QMS comes equipped with detailed analytics and reporting capabilities, enabling you to assess the performance of your quoting processes. You can track quote acceptance rates, monitor revenue by customer or salesperson, and identify trends in pricing or customer behavior. These insights provide the data you need to optimize your sales strategy and refine your pricing models.
Real-life example: You might notice that a specific salesperson has a higher conversion rate for quotes than others. By using the analytics reports, you can identify best practices from that salesperson, such as response times or customized follow-ups, and implement those strategies across the team to boost overall sales performance.
Integration with TMS
The integration with your existing Transportation Management System (TMS) ensures that all aspects of your quoting process are aligned with your logistics operations. By syncing your rate data and shipment details, the QMS eliminates the need for duplicate data entry, reducing errors and streamlining your operations.
Real-life example: When generating a quote for a customer, the QMS automatically retrieves relevant shipping data from your TMS, such as the best routes, estimated delivery times, and available transport options. This integration ensures that the quoted price is accurate and reflects the most up-to-date logistics data, reducing discrepancies between quoting and actual shipping.
Track Revenue by Customer and Salesperson
With the revenue tracking feature, you can monitor revenue at a granular level—by customer and salesperson. This allows you to assess how much each customer or salesperson is contributing to your bottom line, providing insight into the effectiveness of your sales strategies and helping you optimize performance.
Real-life example: A sales manager can use the revenue tracking tool to see that one particular client has significantly contributed to revenue, while a specific salesperson’s quotes have a higher success rate. This data helps in adjusting sales incentives or strategies to ensure maximum profitability and more personalized customer interactions.
Upload Rate Sheets
Our QMS allows you to upload your own rate sheets or create custom customer-specific rate sheets to ensure that your quotes reflect the most accurate and up-to-date pricing. By uploading these sheets, you ensure that all quotes are consistent with your pricing policies, offering a personalized experience for each client.
Real-life example: For a high-volume customer, you may have a negotiated rate sheet with custom discounts. By uploading this customer-specific rate sheet into the QMS, you ensure that all future quotes for this customer automatically reflect the agreed-upon rates, improving accuracy and fostering a better customer relationship.
