A game changing tool in the freight forwarding sector
FreightViewer enables you to build a digital back office. By uploading rates into the system, you are able to quote in a few seconds, compare rates between different carriers, and filter under several attributes to obtain the most accurate quotation. Additionally, Conqueror has reached a partnership with Shipco Consolidator one of the world’s leading neutral NVOCCs. This provides members direct access to LCL rates from FreightViewer. Speed in quotes is essential in the digital era. However, this speed cannot take away the precision in calculations, especially in an industry where costs are so adjusted and errors can mean loss. Therefore, it is important to count on reliable freight and logistics tools to calculate the rate, FOB charges, profit margin, and surcharges.
Digitization in this industry means becoming an online freight forwarder. If you are not online you are almost invisible. FreightViewer enables your company to go online through a personalized website where your customers can register or log in to quote or send requests. All quotations sent through this website will immediately reach the freight forwarder who will complete the quote. Additionally, all this information is automatically shared with clients throughout the website. Connecting both, freight forwarders and customers means a great improvement in transparency which is always appreciated by the clients.
