Quotes module
Turn requests received by email into quotes ready to send
Customer requests are read, priced on your rate card and your rules, and followed through to acceptance, so you answer first and with consistent prices on every route.
What the module does
Customer requests come in every format; your quotes go out consistent, calculated on your rules and followed up until the customer answers.
Reading requests
Route, dates, packages, weights, dimensions, ADR and ancillary services pulled from customer emails, attachments and portals.
Pricing on your rate card
Rates, weight bands, fuel surcharges and accessorials applied according to your rules, with the route’s history and the customer’s terms taken into account.
Subcontractor costs
When the trip goes to a subcontractor, their cost goes into the price and the margin stays under control.
Margins and approvals
Mark-ups by customer, route or type of goods; below-margin quotes need a manager’s approval.
Sending and follow-up
A reply with rate, terms and trip details, ready to edit or send; open requests stay in view, with a reminder if the customer doesn’t answer.
History and analysis
Prices by route and customer, quotes won and lost, response times: searchable and exportable.

What operations teams ask us before handing a process over to an agent.
Have another question?
Can I use the rate cards I already have?
Yes. We start from your rate cards, whether in Excel, PDF or your management system, with the weight bands, surcharges and accessorials you apply, and set them up together when you start, without rewriting them.
Do quotes go out without a check?
Only if you decide so. You can set thresholds by customer, route or margin within which a quote goes out on its own; anything outside the rules stays a draft until an operator or a manager approves it.
Does it handle groupage, FTL and international shipments?
Yes. The module applies the pricing rules of each service, from groupage parcels to full loads, on international routes too and with the surcharges that go with them.
Does it account for subcontractor costs?
Yes. When a trip goes to a subcontractor, their cost, taken from their rate card or the latest offer received, goes into the price, and the quote shows the margin that is left.
Requests are written freely: does it still work?
Yes. quadra reads emails the way customers write them, attachments included, and when a required detail is missing, such as the weight or whether the goods are ADR, it flags it before pricing the quote.
