For most forwarders, quotations are an important and essential part of the process of moving goods internationally for existing and prospective customers, so the quotation facility is included in NetFreight for that very reason.

Quotations can be entered manually within NetFreight using a similar data-entry screen as an actual job, or produced automatically using the contract rates previously entered manually or downloaded from the shipping lines, airlines and trucking companies.

Quotations having been produced through NetFreight can be emailed, faxed or printed for posting, and if accepted can be converted to actual jobs at the press of a button. Those quotations not accepted can be listed for follow-up, and if declined then the reason can be entered for further analysis.
