Carriers / Brokers / 3PL Teams

Turn messy repeat RFQs into review-ready quote drafts.

shipAI is built for GTA quoting teams at carriers, brokers, and 3PLs handling repeat RFQs. The demo shows the pain it targets: copied lane details, missing class or accessorial signals, contradictory shipment fields, and follow-up notes that still need human review before pricing.

shipAI prepares the quote draft and follow-up context. Final pricing still stays with your contracts, tariffs, surcharges, and approval policies.

Workflow

The demo is about the work before pricing starts.

Most repeat RFQ delay starts before a rate is selected: scattered emails, incomplete fields, class uncertainty, accessorial risk, and unclear follow-up. shipAI narrows the job to making that intake reviewable.

Step 01

Turn copied RFQs into usable shipment fields

Email / PDF / Form / EDI

Read the inbound request, normalize units, and extract origin, destination, dimensions, packaging, service constraints, and missing-info prompts into a clean draft payload.

Step 02

Expose missing and contradictory details

Validation / missing info / exceptions

Catch incomplete accessorials, class/NMFC ambiguity, unsupported service details, and conflicts between the message body and attachments before bad data moves downstream.

Step 03

Explain quote movement with an evidence trail

Confidence / reason codes

Surface reason codes and low-confidence cases so the team sees why a draft changed before acting on it or asking the customer for clarification.

Step 04

Route follow-up-ready drafts into your stack

CRM / TMS / webhooks

Ship structured output, reviewer decisions, and customer follow-up notes to the systems already running pricing, approvals, and communication.

Service Capability

From RFQ intake to quote generation, without losing reviewer control.

Sanitized from ShipQ capability evidence, these shipAI services explain a full quoting workflow that logistics operators can understand: capture requests, normalize fields, flag review gaps, prepare quote inputs, and hand approved context to the systems that generate customer-ready quotes.

Website Funnel

shipAI.ca website target: generate 10 sales leads per week.

The page should turn cold visitors into a sample-lane action first, then ask for work email and company only after they have seen range movement, reason codes, and review boundaries.

Service 01

RFQ intake workflow audit

Map your current RFQ channels, field gaps, retyping loops, and reviewer blockers before building a pilot.

  • Repeat RFQ volume and channel review
  • Missing-field and clarification pattern scan
  • Pilot success metric selection
Service 02

Email and PDF RFQ extraction

Convert email chains, PDFs, and form-style requests into consistent intake fields with unit normalization and source evidence.

  • Origin, destination, cargo, dates, and service constraints
  • Container, CBM, weight, and dimension normalization
  • Customer identity review without sender-domain guessing
Service 03

Review-ready quote preparation

Separate fields that are ready from fields that need review, then preserve reason codes and reviewer actions before pricing.

  • Class, NMFC, accessorial, and delivery risk signals
  • Visible review-required exception state
  • Reviewer edits and confirmation history
Service 04

Quote generation and system handoff

Generate or hand off a canonical, reviewer-approved quote package that pricing, CRM, TMS, or webhook workflows can consume.

  • Approved quote-input snapshot
  • Public-safe audit metadata
  • Structured customer follow-up context
Public Quote Trial

See the RFQ cleanup pain before you commit to a pilot.

The sample lane is built around the work that slows quoting teams down: missing shipment details, class and accessorial risk, unclear quote movement, and customer follow-up that has to be written before a reviewer can price with confidence.

Built for quoting teams handling repeat RFQs, not one-off public freight shopping.

Public planning model refreshed from reviewed public scenarios.

Boundary

Public ranges are not binding quotes. No customer codes, raw costs, carrier contracts, procurement rows, credentials, or markup tables are used by this page.

Pilot

Four to six weeks with a narrow operational scope.

Start with one quoting lane, one reviewer group, and a small set of success metrics. The pilot is designed to prove throughput and risk handling before broader rollout.

Week 01

Define the lane

Pick one RFQ channel, one service type, and one region or customer segment with enough volume to generate real operational feedback.

Week 02-04

Run review loops

Capture reviewer actions, tune extraction rules, tighten prompts, and validate how exception routing behaves under real quoting pressure.

Week 05-06

Measure impact

Review median response time, clarification rate, structured RFQ ratio, and re-rate trend before deciding what to scale next.

Systems

A controlled handoff from intake to your existing stack.

Integration should read as an operational flow, not a list of vendor nouns.

Inputs

Email, docs, and forms

Ingest inbox traffic, PDFs, shared folders, and web forms with controlled field mapping and validation.

Decision Layer

Validation, exceptions, review

Normalize the request, rank class or NMFC candidates, and route the uncertain cases with evidence for analyst review.

Outputs

CRM, TMS, webhook payloads

Push structured quote drafts, decision logs, and reviewer outcomes into the systems already running pricing and customer communication.

Governance

Security controls that still fit quoting operations.

The point is not generic enterprise language. The point is keeping sensitive shipment and pricing-adjacent decisions visible, controlled, and reviewable.

Enterprise Controls
  • Role-based access control for reviewers and administrators
  • Encryption in transit and at rest across stored quote artifacts
  • Retention and deletion policies for operational and audit data
  • Secure transport for staged feed and integration cutovers
AI Governance
  • Confidence scoring linked to review workflows
  • Reason codes and evidence preserved for each suggestion
  • Model and policy version tracking on operational outputs
  • Policy overrides for high-impact or uncertain quotes
