In the hyper-competitive world of freight brokerage, timing is everything. When a shipper needs a quote, they don’t want to wait hours or even minutes—they want it now. The brokers who can respond with accurate, real-time pricing are the ones who win more loads, strengthen relationships, and ultimately grow their business. But for many, outdated rating systems and manual quoting processes are major roadblocks.
Let’s explore how real-time customer quoting can be a game-changer for brokers—and how platforms like G2Mint are helping brokers make it happen.
The Problem: Delays Cost You Freight
Brokers often rely on spreadsheets, disconnected carrier portals, or legacy TMS platforms that don’t support real-time API connections. This creates delays in getting quotes to shippers, especially in multi-modal environments (LTL, TL, Parcel). Those delays can mean:
- Lost opportunities to competitors who reply faster
- Frustration from shippers expecting speed and transparency
- Reduced margins from rushed, inaccurate pricing
The Solution: Real-Time, Mode-Agnostic Rating
Modern solutions like G2Mint eliminate these barriers with a mode-agnostic, real-time rate engine that connects directly to your carrier agreements. For every qualified shipment, you’ll receive LTL, TL and parcel rates, so you can choose the best mode and rate for every shipment.
That means:
- Instant quoting for your customers
- Leverage the optimal mode for every shipment
- Higher win rates on freight opportunities
- Faster workflows for your team
More Than Just Speed: Accuracy & Trust
Getting a quote fast is one thing, but getting it right is just as critical. G2Mint’s rate engine doesn’t just pull rates—it factors in:
- Customer-specific pricing agreements
- Fuel surcharges and accessorials
- Carrier performance and compliance data
The result? Quotes that are accurate, trustworthy, and actionable—every time.
Embedded in Your Sales Process
Brokers using G2Mint can even expose rates to customers through APIs or branded portals. This allows:
- Customer self-service quoting
- Faster booking decisions
- Tighter broker-shipper alignment
Plus, with G2Mint’s built-in automation tools, brokers can go from quote to booked load without ever touching a spreadsheet.
The Competitive Advantage
In a market where speed and transparency are increasingly expected, brokers that invest in real-time quoting are separating themselves from the pack. They’re:
- Winning more freight
- Improving customer experience
- Operating more efficiently
And they’re doing it with modern platforms like G2Mint, built for today’s freight environment.
