Freight quoting
Freight quoting software quotes from your own lane history in the TMS you already run, supervised by default, and AI freight quoting is that same quote drafted from the book you already have. The price comes from your cost and your buy rate. A lane you have never run does not get an invented number. FreightScout does this on McLeod, Aljex, or Tai. It is not a TMS.
A quote that lives in a spreadsheet the TMS has never seen is a quote the next rep cannot find. Freight quoting software, in this product, is part of customer sales. The reply is drafted. The quote is logged on the book. Won freight flows into Build, Cover, Track, and Bill on the same TMS.
What it does
- Read the lane you have run. Cost history and the current buy rate. Not a national average with your name on it.
- Price the spot quote and the contract quote off that same book. The figure is one you can trace to the loads behind it.
- Draft the reply for you to approve while the action is supervised. Shipper outreach can be switched to autopilot whenever you want.
- Log the quote so the next one on that lane can see this one. A bid file, when it shows up, is the same history returned in the customer template.
The longer how-to is AI freight broker quoting from lane history. The bid file is AI RFP response for freight brokers. Plans are on the pricing page.
What stays with your people
Build, Cover, Track, and Bill are all live and supervised by default, including invoicing and collections. Your people still own the account, the exception, and any call you would not hand off. Booking the carrier and shipper outreach run supervised by default. A broker can switch either one to autopilot whenever they want, per team and per action. Every action is logged and reversible.
What it does not do
FreightScout is not a TMS and it is not a load board. It is not a broker and it is not a carrier. FreightScout does not replace your load board or your accounting system. It does not invent a rate or a detention amount. A number over your max pay goes to a person.
