Original email
From: ops@midwesttextiles.com
Subject: RFQ, pallets Chicago to Dallas
Hi, need a quote for 4 pallets, roughly 1,840 lb total, picking up from our Chicago dock (60607) heading to a customer in Dallas. Pickup would be Thursday if possible. Let me know the class if you need it, not totally sure. No hazmat.

The status quo

00:00 elapsed
00:00

You get an RFQ email. You open Estes. Then Old Dominion. Then FedEx Freight. Then you do the math in a spreadsheet.

08:23

You spent 40 minutes building that quote. The shipper never replied. You'll never know if you were $40 high or just slow.

38:47

You do this 20, 30, 40 times a day. Every one of those quotes is a manual process. The margin leak is invisible until it isn't.

How it works

RFQ to sent quote in 3 steps.

01

RFQ arrives, fields extracted instantly

ForwardQuote reads the email. Origin, destination, weight, dimensions, freight class, pallet count, hazmat flag, and special requirements. All pulled without copy-paste.

Rate engine runs the math: your rates, not spot

Your negotiated carrier rates, accessorials, and margin rules. First-mile, line-haul, last-mile. EIA fuel surcharge applied weekly. No market rates.

03

Quote sent in under 3 minutes

Review the priced options, select the lane, and send. The full cycle, intake to sent quote, takes under 3 minutes. The shipper hears back before the competition has opened their first portal.

What's under the hood

Your rate cards, not market rates

Upload your negotiated carrier contracts. ForwardQuote uses actual rates from your relationships, not spot market averages. Your margin lives in the delta.

Freight class and accessorial logic

Classes 50–500, NMFC standard. Automatic stacking of liftgate, inside delivery, appointment, and residential fees. EIA fuel surcharge updated weekly.

Human review queue built in

Low-confidence extractions go to a review queue, not a sent quote. The AI handles the clear ones. A dispatcher handles the edge cases.

Multi-tenant from day one

Each forwarder runs in an isolated environment. Rate cards, margin rules, and RFQ history are never shared across accounts.

Security & trust

Built multi-tenant, isolated by design.

Every tenant's rate cards, quotes, and RFQ data are logically isolated from every other tenant. Our subprocessors are named, not hidden: Supabase, Anthropic, Nylas, Railway, and Vercel.

Built by operators

We built the tool we needed.

Most quoting software is built by engineers who have never dispatched an LTL shipment. We have. The people behind ForwardQuote have worked inside Amazon and Walmart, run logistics operations at startups, and built the tools freight teams actually rely on.
