# Freight quoting software

> Freight quoting software that turns rate requests into priced, margin-guarded quotes in seconds — with Best value, Fastest, and Alternative options on every quote.

The first forwarder to reply with a real price usually wins the load. Fretie's freight quoting software compresses the whole quote cycle — read the request, find the rate, add surcharges, apply margin, draft the reply — from hours of copy-paste into seconds.

Every quote is built from your own contracts and priced under your own margin rules, so speed never comes at the cost of accuracy or profit.

## Three options on every quote

Autopilot prepares Best value, Fastest, and Alternative-carrier options for each request, so your reply reads like a considered recommendation rather than a single take-it-or-leave-it number. Saved routes make repeat lanes a one-click quote.

## Margin guarded by default

Per-customer and per-lane markup rules apply automatically, along with additional charges — BAF, THC, DOC and more, as flat, per-container, per-kg, per-cbm, or percentage charges. A margin guard flags or holds any quote that would fall below your floor.

## From quote to booking

Customers approve on a shareable quote link — no login needed. Accepted quotes become bookings, push to CargoWise or Magaya, and flow into shipment tracking, so the quote you sent is the record everything else reconciles against.

## Frequently asked questions

### How fast can Fretie produce a quote?

For a request that matches your loaded rates, the agent typically has a priced draft reply ready in seconds — before your team has opened the email. Complex or unmatched requests are flagged for a human instead of being guessed at.

### Can I set different margins for different customers?

Yes. Margin rules are per-customer and per-lane, and surcharges can be flat, per-container, per-kg, per-cbm, or percentage-based. The agent applies them automatically on every quote.

### What happens if a quote would go out below my margin floor?

The approval gate holds it. You choose the policy — require approval never, only below the margin floor, or on every quote — and Fretie refuses to send an unapproved quote.

### How do customers accept a quote?

Every quote gets a shareable public link where the customer can review options and accept — no account required. Acceptance turns the quote into a booking and pushes it to your TMS.

### Does Fretie handle rail and road as well as ocean and air?

Yes — rail is a first-class mode alongside ocean, air, and road, with the same rate matching, surcharge, and margin logic.
