Introduction to CargoWise Quotations

The CargoWise Quotations feature is a tool used to create quotes for multiple movements of cargo with matching criteria, similar to a rate card. For instance, a forwarder may use the Quotations module to outline their rates based on various specifications, such as container size, mode of transport, and cargo type. These rates will be valid for a set period of time, after which the forwarder will need to issue a new quotation.

Introduction to CargoWise One Off Quotes

CargoWise One Off Quotes are quotations that apply to a single movement of cargo based on specified details from the customer. While the Quotations feature enables users to create contracts or rate sheets, One Off Quotes help produce spot quotes. Due to the financial risks that arise from market uncertainty, in times in which shipping rates are unstable, the logistics industry tends to shift toward one off quotes.
