THE CALCULATOR
What is speed worth to your desk?
Two numbers decide a quote desk’s revenue: how many RFQs get answered, and how fast. Set the sliders to your desk. The paper on the right shows the money.
Conservative model. Anchors: a live deployment moved 35% → 73% win rate when response time fell from 60+ min to 15 min; industry studies show most RFQs to large forwarders never get quoted at all. Adjust the sliders to your desk — the math updates live.
See your own RFQ quoted liveWhy coverage matters
Mystery-shopper studies found most RFQs to large forwarders never get quoted at all. Every unanswered request is a shipment your competitor didn't have to fight for.
Why speed moves win rate
A live deployment moved from 35% to 73% win rate when quote response fell from 60+ minutes to 15. Buyers shortlist whoever answers while the need is hot.
Why the model is conservative
We cap the modelled win rate at 80%, use your own profit-per-shipment figure, and apply band multipliers well below the observed uplift. Reality has beaten this model.
