New: Descartes Quoting Tool
Helping freight forwarders deliver 90% of quotes including spot rates in under 30-seconds

Helping You Win Business with Faster Quoting
Many shipping decisions are time-sensitive with rates needed as quickly as possible to meet deadlines, finalize sales orders, or compare options quickly. With customer expectations for near-instant pricing, the fastest quote often wins the business, even if you are not the least expensive. Descartes Quoting Tool incorporates the latest spot rates effortlessly via our smart Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The result is faster quotes with an eye to customer value and forwarder margins to help you better compete.
Zero Rate Maintenance Required
Freight rates change frequently with evolving fuel costs, carrier surcharges, and seasonal adjustments. With zero rate maintenance, our solution frees forwarders from continuously managing rate tables. Descartes technology sources, applies, and manages rates centrally to save you time and effort.
