Freight Quoting & Tendering Agent
Prices a freight job across carriers in seconds and books it according to the customer’s rules.
The challenge
Staff copy information from documents into systems by hand. It is slow, and mistakes are found late.
How it works
- 1A document or file arrives.
- 2The agent reads it and picks out the details.
- 3It checks those details against your data and your rules.
- 4Items that pass are entered into your system.
- 5It confirms each entry was recorded correctly.
- 6Items that do not match go to your team, with the difference explained.
Your people stay in control
The checks follow fixed rules that you set. Your team sees every item that does not match, and nothing unusual is entered without them.
