Comparing the best Freight Forwarding Quotation Software of 2026 includes 1. CargoEZ 2. Freightos WebCargo 3. Wisor.ai 4. GoComet 5. Cargoson 6. GoFreight 7. Magaya 8. Logitude World 9. CargoWise 10. Logi-Sys.

TL;DR

  • CargoEZ: best overall for US forwarders that want quoting inside the shipment file. Quote, book, and invoice on one cloud system, so a won quote becomes an operations file with no re-keying. G2 4.8/5 across 40 reviews.
  • Freightos WebCargo: best for live air and ocean rates plus instant eBooking. Used by 1,000-plus forwarders for rate procurement and pricing; Freightos holds 4.1/5 on Capterra across 28 reviews.
  • Wisor.ai: best for AI quote automation. Parses rate emails and builds door-to-door quotes in about 60 seconds; live on G2 with a small review base as of August 2026.
  • GoComet: best for procurement-driven quoting. Reverse-auction RFQs pull competing carrier rates before you price the quote; Capterra 4.8/5 across 51 reviews.
  • GoFreight: best for US mid-market forwarders wanting quoting in a modern cloud suite. Highest G2 score in the set at 4.8/5 across 92 reviews.

A slow quote loses the booking. This guide ranks ten tools that turn a rate request into a customer-ready freight quote, judged on where the rates come from, how margin and surcharge rules are applied, how fast a quote goes out, and whether the won quote drops cleanly into an operations file. Framed for US freight forwarders and NVOCCs quoting air and ocean.

What is freight forwarding quotation software?

Freight forwarding quotation software turns a customer rate request into a priced, sendable quote. It stores carrier contract rates and surcharges, applies the forwarder’s margin and rounding rules, produces a door-to-door price across air and ocean, and tracks the quote until it is won or lost.

Tools differ on where rates come from (uploaded contracts, carrier eRate feeds, live marketplace rates, or AI-parsed email quotes), how much of the quote is automated, and whether a won quote flows into an operations and accounting system such as CargoEZ, GoFreight, or Magaya, or exports as a document.

How we chose these tools

This ranking is built from documented quoting capability, recurring themes in G2 and Capterra review samples, vendor pricing pages and third-party pricing databases checked in August 2026, and published product documentation. G2 and Capterra ratings and review counts were read from live product pages in August 2026. The lens is a US freight forwarder or NVOCC quoting air and ocean shipments, so we weighted rate-source breadth, margin and surcharge logic, quote turnaround, and the handoff from won quote to operations file. Pure spot-rate marketplaces aimed at importers, domestic truckload brokers, and shipper-side TMS tools were treated as out of scope. Vendor blogs and vendor comparison pages were not used as neutral evidence.

Best overall for US forwarders that want the quote and the shipment file in one system

What's great

  • Quotes are built from stored carrier rates and tariffs in the same platform that runs air and ocean operations, so a won quote converts to a shipment file with no re-keying
  • Margin rules, surcharges, and multi-currency conversion are applied automatically, and the quote carries through to a house bill and invoice
  • US customs filing, a customer portal, and multi-currency accounting sit under one login, which removes the usual integration project between a quoting tool and an operations tool

Watch-outs

  • G2 review base is small at 40 reviews next to Freightos (28) or Magaya (309), so third-party validation is thinner
  • Pricing is quote-only with no public tiers, so you cannot model cost before a sales call
  • The quoting module is part of a full suite, so a forwarder that only wants a standalone rate-quoting layer is buying more than it needs

CargoEZ, from AVOW Solutions, wins here because it treats a quote as the first step of a shipment file rather than a separate document. It carries 40 G2 reviews at 4.8/5, and reviewers repeatedly cite fast onboarding and how quickly non-technical staff produce quotes.

Rates and tariffs live in the platform, margin and surcharge logic is rule-driven, and multi-currency conversion is handled natively, so the number that goes to the customer is the number that later posts to the invoice. When the quote is accepted, it becomes an operations file in the same system, which is where standalone quoting tools create re-keying work.

Pricing is demo-led with no published tiers, so you commit to a call before you can compare cost against Freightos or GoFreight. The CargoEZ pricing page is quote-only.

Best for small to mid-size US forwarders and NVOCCs that want quoting, customs, and accounting on one cloud system. Wrong for a forwarder that just wants a lightweight quoting layer on top of an operations tool it will not replace.

Best for live air and ocean rates feeding the quote, plus one-click eBooking

What's great

  • WebCargo is used by more than 1,000 forwarders to manage rate procurement, pricing, and quote generation across air and ocean
  • Live carrier rates and instant electronic air booking with dozens of airlines mean the quote reflects bookable capacity, not a stale contract
  • Largest review base in this set, with 28 Capterra reviews on G2 and 54 on Capterra

Watch-outs

  • It is a rate, quoting, and booking layer, not a shipment file or ledger, so it sits beside an operations system rather than replacing one
  • Support is praised on some channels and called slow on others
  • Marketplace transaction economics need modeling before you commit

Freightos, through WebCargo, is the rate and quoting layer a large share of forwarders run on top of their operations system. It holds 4.1/5 on Capterra across 28 reviews and 4.3/5 on Capterra across 54 , with reviewers valuing instant quotes replacing slow email cycles.

WebCargo automates rate procurement and pricing, and its air eBooking connects to dozens of carriers, so a quote can move to a confirmed booking in one flow. Ocean rates are live rather than uploaded contracts, which keeps quotes current.

What it will not do is manage the shipment file, customs, or accounting, so plan for an integration back to CargoEZ, GoFreight, or Magaya. Pricing is quote-based per the Freightos pricing page with marketplace fees on top.

Best for forwarders whose main quoting pain is rate freshness and air booking speed. Wrong as a single system of record for the shipment.

Best for AI that reads rate emails and returns a door-to-door quote in about a minute

What's great

  • Parses inbound carrier rate emails and attachments automatically, then assembles door-to-door quotes in roughly 60 seconds
  • Cuts manual rate lookup and data entry, which reviewers on G2 describe as a large reduction in clerical quoting work
  • Compares rates across options and produces a branded quote without a rate desk keying each line

Watch-outs

  • Review base is small and recent, so cross-platform validation is limited
  • Reviewers ask for more airfreight carrier integrations and deeper analytics
  • It is a quoting layer, so operations, customs, and accounting stay in another system

Wisor.ai is the pick when the bottleneck is a rate desk copying numbers out of carrier emails into a quote template. Its G2 profile is live but thin as of August 2026, so we placed it on documented capability rather than an aggregate score.

The core function is email and attachment parsing that turns unstructured carrier quotes into structured rates, then builds a door-to-door price in about a minute, per the Wisor quoting product page . Reviewers report roughly halving manual quoting effort and raising quote volume.

The gaps are a young review record, requests for more air carrier coverage, and the fact that it does not run the shipment after the quote is won.

Best for forwarders with high inbound quote volume and a rate desk drowning in email. Wrong for buyers who need a proven review base or an all-in-one system of record.

Best when the quote should be backed by a fresh competitive rate, not a six-month-old contract

What's great

  • Reverse-auction RFQ tool pushes a rate request to multiple carriers and forwarders and surfaces the best option, so the quote starts from a competitive number
  • 4.8/5 on Capterra across 51 reviews and high Gartner Peer Insights marks, with reviewers citing quick adoption
  • Freight invoice audit catches overpayments after the fact, closing the loop on quoted versus billed

Watch-outs

  • It is a procurement, visibility, and audit layer, not a forwarding operations or accounting system
  • Some data-refresh lag from smaller carriers
  • Deep legacy-ERP integrations carry a learning curve

GoComet approaches quoting from procurement: get the best available rate first, then quote off it. It holds 4.8/5 on Capterra across 51 reviews and strong Gartner Peer Insights scores.

The reverse-auction RFQ is the standout: instead of quoting from a static contract, a forwarder runs a quick auction across carriers and prices the customer quote from the winning bid. The freight-audit module then reconciles what was quoted against what was invoiced.

The limits are familiar for this tool class: no shipment file, no ledger, and occasional lag on data from smaller carriers. Pricing is by module and quote-based.

Best for forwarders and shippers who want every quote anchored to a fresh competitive rate. Wrong as the system that runs the shipment after the quote is accepted.

Best for comparing multi-carrier rates side by side before you send the quote

What's great

  • Central rate table with multi-carrier comparison, so a quote is priced against several options in one screen rather than separate portals
  • 4.8/5 on Capterra across 51 reviews, with users citing time saved and an intuitive interface
  • Booking and document handling follow the quote, keeping the request-to-booking path in one tool

Watch-outs

  • Origin and strongest fit are European road freight, so US air and ocean forwarders should test carrier coverage carefully
  • Lighter on US customs filing than the forwarding suites
  • Not a full accounting system, so profit-per-file lives elsewhere

Cargoson is a rate-management and quoting tool built around side-by-side carrier comparison. It carries 4.8/5 on Capterra across 51 reviews , with reviewers highlighting time and cost savings and ease of use.

The workflow keeps contract rates in one table, compares carriers on a single screen, and moves a chosen rate into a quote and then a booking with documents attached. For a forwarder tired of checking multiple carrier portals to build one quote, that consolidation is the value.

The caution for this list is that Cargoson’s roots are European road freight, so a US forwarder quoting air and ocean should pressure-test carrier and lane coverage during the trial. Pricing is plan-based with a quote for the forwarder tier.

Best for forwarders that quote across many carriers and want one comparison view. Wrong for US NVOCCs that need deep AMS and ISF filing in the same tool.

Best for US mid-market forwarders that want quoting inside a modern cloud suite

What's great

  • Highest aggregate satisfaction in this set, with 4.8/5 on G2 across 92 reviews, on a US-built cloud platform for forwarders and NVOCCs
  • Quoting is part of the same system as bookings, documents, AMS and ISF filing, and shipment-based accounting, so a won quote becomes a file directly
  • Mid-market pricing is published as per-user tiers rather than pure custom quote, with implementation often bundled

Watch-outs

  • Exact tier pricing still needs a sales call
  • Rate-comparison depth is lighter than Freightos WebCargo or Cargoson
  • A younger platform, so very large multi-entity global forwarders can outgrow it

GoFreight is the cloud-native option for a US forwarder that wants quoting to live in the same tool as operations. Its 88 G2 reviews average 4.8/5, the highest here, and SelectHub’s profile echoes the modern interface and short implementation.

A quote is built from stored rates, converts to a booking and shipment file, and posts to shipment-based accounting without a second system. Pricing is more transparent than most, reported around $100 to $400 per user per month with onboarding frequently included, though the exact number needs a call.

Where it gives ground is multi-carrier rate comparison and live marketplace rates, which is WebCargo territory.

Best for US mid-market forwarders that want quoting and operations in one modern system and want to be live in under two months. Wrong for teams whose main need is comparing dozens of carrier rates per quote.

  • Largest US SMB install base here, with 290 G2 reviews at 4.4/5 and strong marks for document generation from quotes
  • Rate Management module stores contract rates and surcharges and feeds quotes that convert to bookings and house bills in the same system
  • Named a Leader in nine G2 Winter 2026 grid reports across supply chain and logistics categories

Watch-outs

  • Parts of the interface still feel dated to reviewers
  • Modular pricing adds up as you switch on rate management, customs, and CRM
  • Accounting-integration friction recurs on Capterra

Magaya suits a forwarder that wants a quote to be a byproduct of well-organised contract rates. The 290 G2 reviews at 4.4/5 are the deepest track record here, and the vendor was named a Leader in nine G2 Winter 2026 grids .

Rate Management holds contracts and surcharges, quotes draw from that data, and a won quote produces house bills and arrival notices fast, which is Magaya’s long-standing strength. The softer spots show on Capterra : an aging interface in places and friction connecting external accounting.

Pricing is modular and quote-based, so rate management plus customs plus CRM costs meaningfully more than the forwarding core.

Best for US SMB forwarders that want quoting, rate storage, and documents in one system. Wrong for teams that want a modern standalone quoting layer or plan to keep rates and accounting in separate tools.

  • Quotes, bookings, documents, and tracking across air, ocean, and land at an entry price far below the enterprise suites

Watch-outs

  • Rate-comparison and automation depth trails Freightos and Wisor.ai
  • Interface looks dated next to GoFreight

Logitude World is the budget entry point for a small forwarder replacing spreadsheet quotes and email chains. It combines a 4.6/5 G2 score across 94 reviews with a 4.5/5 on Capterra .

The quoting workflow covers all three modes with bookings, documents, and tracking following on, and the published pricing starts near $25 per user per month, a fraction of Magaya or CargoWise. The limits are real: fewer accounting reports, paid API connections, and an interface that shows its age.

Best for small US forwarders that value low cost and fast setup over rate-comparison depth. Wrong for anyone who needs heavy quote automation or full accounting in the same tool.

What's great

  • Rate management and quoting sit on the same data model as customs, warehouse, and accounting across 50-plus country regimes
  • Consistent quoting rules and rate governance across many branches on one system
  • WiseTech Global's scale funds continued product investment

Watch-outs

  • Capterra rating sits at 2.9/5, with support scored around 1.9/5 there
  • Implementation typically runs 6 to 12 months and needs trained resources
  • The December 2025 Value Pack change raised many customers' costs 20 to 50 percent

CargoWise, from WiseTech Global, is the platform multinational forwarders standardise on when quoting rules and rate governance have to be consistent across dozens of branches. On G2 it holds 4.3/5 across 30 reviews , while Capterra sits at 2.9/5 , where support and pricing opacity draw the loudest complaints.

The quoting engine is part of one data model spanning customs, warehouse, and accounting, so a quote carries through the whole file. The cost is a multi-quarter implementation, real training investment, and the 2025 Value Pack repricing that pushed many bills up 20 to 50 percent.

Best for global forwarders with the resources to run a long deployment and the volume to justify it. Wrong for any US-only shop under a few hundred shipments a month.

  • Quotation module connects to CRM, air and ocean operations, billing, and a full general ledger, so profit-per-quote is visible
  • Used by more than 1,000 forwarders across 50-plus countries, with responsive support cited on Capterra and Gartner Peer Insights
  • MIS and BI reporting on quote win rates and margin by lane

Watch-outs

  • G2 presence is effectively a single review, so cross-platform validation is limited
  • India-headquartered vendor, so US buyers should confirm support hours and US customs coverage
  • The ERP breadth means longer configuration than a focused quoting tool

Logi-Sys, from Softlink Global, puts quoting inside a full forwarding ERP: CRM, operations, billing, and a real general ledger. On Capterra it holds 4.7/5 across 24 reviews with 92 percent positive sentiment, plus a steady Gartner Peer Insights presence.

The appeal is the finance and reporting layer: quote win rate, margin by lane, and profit per file without a separate ERP. The caveats are a thin G2 footprint and an India base, so US NVOCCs should pressure-test US-hours support and AMS and ISF coverage during the trial.

Best for forwarders that want quoting, operations, and accounting genuinely unified. Wrong for buyers who need a large US reference base before signing.

Tools we considered but excluded

We evaluated more tools than the 10 you see above. These did not make the cut. Saying what we rejected, and why, is the editorial muscle most listicles skip.

  • Uber Freight: Domestic US truckload brokerage and instant quoting for shippers, not air and ocean quoting for freight forwarders
  • Shipwell: Shipper-side TMS with a carrier marketplace; quoting is aimed at LTL and truckload, not forwarder house quotes
  • Shippabo: Managed forwarder with a shipper-facing quoting portal, not software a forwarder uses to quote its own customers
  • Descartes Forwarder Enterprise: Strong on customs and compliance but quoting is not the product's focus; better fit on the customs comparison pages
  • project44: Real-time visibility platform used alongside a quoting tool, not a quoting tool

Honorable mentions

Solid tools that did not crack the main list but are worth tracking, especially for niche use cases.

  • Shipthis: Modern AI-driven white-label forwarding platform with quoting and document features; watch the review base grow
  • Kontainers: Shipper-facing quote and booking front end that forwarders can white-label; worth a look for a customer self-quote portal
  • Cargoson: Already ranked here, but noted again for US teams with a European road-freight arm, where its multi-carrier comparison is strongest

What breaks when quoting lives in spreadsheets and email

Ask a forwarder where deals leak and the answer is rarely operations. It is the gap between a customer asking for a rate and a clean quote landing in their inbox.

A rate desk pulls contract sheets from a shared drive, checks two or three carrier portals for current surcharges, keys the numbers into a Word or Excel template, applies a margin from memory, and emails a PDF. That loop takes hours. On a competitive lane, the booking is gone before the quote is sent.

The failure modes stack up. Rates expire and nobody flags it, so a quote goes out below cost. Margin rules live in one person’s head, so quotes vary by who built them. The won quote is then re-typed into the operations system, which is where the shipment data first goes wrong.

Quotation software exists to close that loop: hold the rates, apply the rules, produce the quote fast, and hand the won quote to operations without a re-key. The ten tools here do that in different ways, and the right one depends on where your quoting actually stalls.

How quoting software builds a rate, and why quotes still go stale

Every tool on this list answers one question: where does the rate come from. There are four models, and most products lean on one or two.

Uploaded contract rates. CargoEZ, GoFreight, Magaya, CargoWise, Logitude, and Logi-Sys store your negotiated carrier contracts and surcharges, then build quotes from that table. This is accurate for contracted lanes and useless the day a contract lapses, so rate-expiry alerts matter.

Live carrier feeds. Freightos WebCargo pulls current air and ocean rates directly from carriers, so a quote reflects bookable capacity today. The trade-off is that spot rates move, and a quote sent Monday may not hold Friday.

Reverse auction. GoComet runs a quick RFQ across carriers per shipment and prices the quote from the winning bid. Freshest possible number, but it adds a step before every quote.

AI email parsing. Wisor.ai reads the rate emails carriers send and turns them into structured rates automatically, which suits forwarders whose rates arrive as unstructured PDFs and message threads rather than clean feeds.

Staleness is the common enemy. Ocean general rate increases, peak-season surcharges, and air fuel adjustments change on weekly or shorter cycles. A tool that cannot tell you a rate has expired will quietly cost you margin, so test that behaviour before anything else.

Pricing for freight quotation tools in 2026

Published numbers in this category are entry points, not the price you pay.

Per-user subscription is standard. Logitude publishes from about $25 per user per month per its pricing page , Logi-Sys lists from $80 on its Capterra listing , and GoFreight mid-market tiers are reported around $100 to $400 per user per month with implementation often bundled.

Quoting is usually a module, not a product. CargoEZ, Magaya, and CargoWise price the forwarding core separately from rate management and other modules. The demo configuration and the contract configuration are rarely the same, so price the modules you will switch on.

Rate layers add transaction economics. Freightos marketplace activity carries fees, and GoComet prices by module. Model the per-shipment cost against the margin the tool protects.

Enterprise means services. CargoWise deployments commonly run six figures a year once training and trade content are included, and the December 2025 Value Pack change raised many existing bills 20 to 50 percent per reporting on the CargoWise site . Ask current users about renewal behaviour.

What’s changing in freight quoting for 2026

AI moved from rate lookup to full quote assembly. In 2025 the pitch was faster rate search. In 2026 tools like Wisor.ai assemble the whole door-to-door quote from parsed carrier emails, with a human checking margin and terms rather than building the quote.

Live rates are becoming the default expectation. WebCargo’s carrier coverage has pushed shippers to expect a rate in minutes, and forwarders quoting off week-old contracts feel the gap. More suites are adding live-rate connectors.

Quote-to-booking is collapsing into one step. Instant air eBooking through WebCargo and booking flows in Cargoson mean an accepted quote can become a confirmed booking without a separate request, which changes how fast a rate desk can close.

Margin governance is getting attention. As quoting spreads across branches, buyers increasingly ask how a tool enforces consistent margin and rounding rules, not just how fast it quotes. CargoWise and CargoEZ lead on rule enforcement.

Migrating your rate sheets without losing the margin logic

The hard part of switching quotation tools is not the software. It is that your pricing knowledge is scattered across contract PDFs, spreadsheet formulas, and what the rate desk carries in their heads.

Inventory the rate sources first. List every carrier contract, the surcharge tables, and where each lives. Most forwarders find rates in three or four places, and any tool migration has to pull all of them in.

Write down the margin rules before you import. Percentage by lane, minimum absolute margin, rounding, currency conversion spread. If these only exist as habits, the new tool will not apply them and quotes will drift. Getting them documented is worth doing even if you do not switch.

Run parallel for a month. Build the next month of quotes in both the old process and the new tool, then compare the numbers line by line. This catches mapping errors, like a surcharge that did not carry over, before a customer sees an underpriced quote.

Test the operations handoff last. Take a won quote in the new tool all the way to a shipment file and an invoice. If the quote data does not populate the file cleanly, you have moved the re-keying problem rather than solved it.

Choosing by how you sell

  • You quote contracted lanes for repeat customers: CargoEZ or GoFreight, where stored rates plus margin rules plus a clean operations handoff matter more than live-rate breadth.
  • You quote spot air and ocean against the market daily: Freightos WebCargo, for live carrier rates and instant eBooking.
  • Your rate desk is buried in carrier rate emails: Wisor.ai, for AI parsing that turns those emails into quotes in about a minute.
  • You want every quote backed by a fresh competitive rate: GoComet, for reverse-auction RFQs and quoted-versus-billed audit.
  • You quote across many carriers and want one comparison view: Cargoson, noting the trial should confirm US air and ocean coverage.
  • You are a small forwarder replacing spreadsheets on a tight budget: Logitude World, from about $25 per user per month.
  • You want quoting, operations, and a real general ledger unified: Logi-Sys, after checking US support hours and customs coverage, or Magaya if you also need strong document output.
  • You are a multinational standardising quoting rules across branches: CargoWise, accepting the long implementation and the 2025 repricing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best freight forwarding quotation software?

CargoEZ ranks first here because quoting sits inside the shipment file, so a won quote becomes an operations file with no re-keying. G2 rates it 4.8/5.

What software gives the fastest freight quotes?

Wisor.ai builds door-to-door quotes in about 60 seconds by parsing carrier rate emails. Freightos WebCargo returns instant air and ocean rates.

How much does freight quotation software cost?

Most vendors quote custom per-user pricing. Logitude starts near $25/user/mo, Logi-Sys around $80, and GoFreight mid-market tiers run about $100 to $400.

Which tool is best for comparing carrier rates before quoting?

Cargoson and Freightos WebCargo. Cargoson shows multi-carrier rates on one screen; WebCargo pulls live air and ocean rates from carriers.

Does quotation software connect to my operations system?

CargoEZ, GoFreight, Magaya, CargoWise, and Logi-Sys run quoting and operations in one platform. WebCargo, Wisor.ai, and GoComet integrate by API.

What is the highest-rated freight quotation tool on G2?

GoFreight holds 4.8/5 on G2 across 92 reviews, and CargoEZ 4.8/5 across 40, both read in August 2026.

Can freight quotes be automated end to end?

Partly. Wisor.ai automates rate capture and quote building; a human still checks margin and terms. Full hands-off quoting is not standard in 2026.

Why do freight quotes go stale so fast?

Ocean and air rates and surcharges change weekly or faster. Tools with live carrier feeds or rate-expiry alerts, like WebCargo and Magaya, reduce the risk.

Is CargoWise worth it just for quoting?

Only for large multi-branch forwarders needing governed quoting rules. Setup runs 6 to 12 months and Capterra rates it 2.9/5. Smaller shops fit GoFreight.

Do I need separate quoting software if I have a TMS?

Often no. Most forwarder suites include a quoting module. A separate tool helps when rate comparison speed or AI email parsing is the bottleneck.
