The challenge

Every inbound quote request arrived as a different artifact: a forwarded email chain, a PDF rate request, an EDI message, sometimes a photo of a spreadsheet. Brokers spent the first ten minutes of every quote re-typing lanes, weights, and dates into the TMS — and the slowest response usually lost the load.

What we shipped

An intake agent that watches the quote inbox, extracts lane, equipment, weight, and dates from whatever format shows up, validates them against the TMS, and drafts the quote with current market rates attached. Anything below a confidence threshold routes to a human with the extracted fields pre-filled, not a blank form.

The agent never sends a quote on its own. A broker approves every one — the win is that approval takes seconds instead of minutes.

The outcome

Median quote turnaround dropped from eleven minutes to just over three. The team quotes more than twice the volume with the same headcount, and win rate moved up simply because they answer first.

We used to lose loads because we were the third reply. Now we're almost always the first. — Operations lead
