Challenge

Decentralized management of Air and Ocean Freight quotes caused inconsistent pricing, slow response times, and limited margin oversight. This made it difficult to control profitability, track acceptance rates, and ensure timely customer follow-up.

Approach

A centralized Rate Quotes Management service was established to streamline Air and Ocean Freight pricing. Dedicated shared service teams managed quote creation, accuracy checks, and follow-ups within standardized SLAs. Automation tools supported margin validation and ensured consistent application of pricing rules, while integration with global systems enabled faster response times. This structure improved coordination across regions, enhanced profitability controls, and strengthened customer engagement through timely and reliable quoting.

Impact

The initiative achieved 98 percent rate accuracy and reduced quote turnaround times by 35 percent. These improvements not only enhanced profitability control but also strengthened customer trust and increased overall win rates.

Executive Takeaway

Centralizing rate quote management significantly improved accuracy, accelerated response times, and strengthened customer trust. This highlights The JR Moore Group’s ability to design and scale standardized processes that enhance profitability, improve win rates, and boost competitiveness across global logistics markets.
