Juggling emails isn't just frustrating - it's costing you money. Spot Request handles all your requests in one place, giving you better prices and overall overview without the time-consuming back and forth.
Send your freight requests to several carriers at once, compare their offers easily, and choose the lowest rates for every shipment.
No more hunting through emails or spreadsheets.
Streamline the entire spot request process—from creation to comparison to which offer you chose.
No more multiple email conversations, forgotten follow-ups, and information scattered across systems.
Standardised forms and clear terms and conditions mean fewer misunderstandings.
Plus, you control everything—offers received, decisions made, and exactly what was agreed upon.
Select freight type and Incoterms® 2020, and fill in your shipment details. This way, you ensure all shipment data is listed and every carrier gets the necessary information about your shipment.
Specify sender and receiver information — either from your saved addresses or manually. Then just tick the carriers from your address book you want quotes from.
Write a comment, add ready and delivery dates, and set a deadline for bids. Hit send and watch as quotes roll in—you just pick the deal that works best for you. All carriers get automatically informed if their offer was chosen or not.
“With Spot Request, many of our customers have streamlined their process for one-off shipments. They now have a tool that allows them to make an informed choice every time they have a shipment that falls outside their normal shipments. Previously, many simply booked with their usual carrier or sent it off with their regular carrier and hoped for the best.”
– Maiken Kristensen, Logistics Manager at FreightSolution
See all your past spot requests at a glance. Find past requests and compare with old offers without digging through your emails.
Let your colleagues access your spot requests when you're not available - keeping your freight operations running smoothly.
Make requests on exactly what you need:
Save contact information on the forwarders you use frequently.
Find them quickly by name, specialty area or route – so you don't have to search for phone numbers in the middle of a busy day.
Save all your frequently used addresses, so next time you just click on the address you want to use.
See where to you send the most spot requests, which carriers win and lose the most, and when they perform the best.
Need both pallets and piece goods shipped? Get a combined quote, so you can see the total price and save time on coordination.
Some times it needs to be shipped exactly Thursday. Other times it's "within a week" that works. Tell the forwarders what fits you.
Are you shipping the same routes over and over? Take an old inquiry, edit what needs to be changed, and send it off. So you save time on the shipments you make repeatedly.
