Freight Forwarding

Automated Quotation Generation

Centralize vendor rate cards and generate client-ready freight quotes in minutes instead of days.

The problem

Sales reps often build quotes from scattered Excel files and carrier PDFs, which creates pricing inconsistencies and costs deals when turnaround is too slow.

The solution

Store ocean, air, and local haulage rates in one searchable table and let the quote workflow assemble the right pricing automatically.

What the workflow usually looks like

  • Maintain one rate-card database for vendors, lanes, and container sizes.
  • Select the origin, destination, and shipment details from controlled inputs.
  • Generate a branded PDF quote with markup and pricing logic applied automatically.

Expected ROI

Cut quote turnaround from days to minutes, reduce pricing errors, and help the sales team respond before competitors do.

Why this works in Norbital

This workflow works well because the operational record, the form submitted from the field, the approval step, and the reporting output all live in one system. Teams do not need to copy data between spreadsheets, messaging apps, and separate document tools.

That is better than the manual alternative because the update happens once at the source and then flows automatically to the people who need to act on it, which reduces lag, errors, and admin rework.
