Why us?
Faster quoting with a private carrier network
Send quote requests to your trusted carriers in minutes. This is a private workspace with your carrier base only – not a public spot marketplace. Carriers only see RFQs they’re invited to. Your customer relationships stay yours. Carriers respond through a unique online link – no extra app needed.
Less manual work with AI-assisted inputs
Use the AI agent to extract RFQs, cargo details, and special requirements from emails, PDFs, docs, images, and copy-pasted text. Turn inbound requests into structured quote requests without retyping. AI outputs are always validated by operators so quotes stay reliable.
Fast to roll out (no heavy integration project)
Run a PoC in 3-10 days (based on number of carriers and consent speed). No integrations required. You share your carrier list; we handle outreach, consents, and onboarding so you can start fast. By day 10, carriers are onboarded and you can start sending quote requests. Additional custom integrations can be negotiated.

If your team relies on emails and phone calls to collect quotes, speed becomes a bottleneck. 4Shipper is designed for freight forwarders who work with their own carrier networks and need faster quoting without losing control.
Carriers only see the RFQs they are invited to, and there is no public marketplace. Your customer and carrier relationships remain fully under your control.
Roles and permissions are configurable (RBAC), with access controlled at the entity level (quotes, shipments, lanes, documents, users). Data is stored in EU-based cloud infrastructure in compliance with EU regulations (see Trust Center).

Send quote requests to your carrier base
Create quote requests and invite your trusted carriers. Keep all messages and documents attached so you do not need to rebuild context on every follow-up.
- Invite carriers by lane or shipment
- Controlled visibility – carriers only see RFQs they are invited to
- Collect offers in one place
- Keep attachments linked to each request
Compare offers with history and structure
Standardise how you compare carrier offers. 4Shipper combines structured comparisons with your historical data so you can protect margins and make more consistent decisions.
Compare offers like-for-like in your selected base currency. Carriers can submit bids in their local currency, and you can evaluate them with automatic conversion based on current exchange rates.
- Side-by-side comparisons across carriers
- Clear decision rationale backed by data
- Easier handovers across the team
Keep communication structured across shifts
Forwarding teams operate in parallel and at speed. 4Shipper keeps all communication and history in one place so the next person can continue without losing context.
- Messages linked to shipments for full visibility
- Reduced internal back-and-forth and context rebuilding
- Cleaner collaboration across roles and shifts
Use forwarder-specific workflows (and protect margin)
Forwarding is not just about buying price—it requires quoting discipline, customer context, and margin control. 4Shipper supports forwarder-specific workflows to keep pricing structured and margins protected.
Workflows can include multi-leg quoting, customer-specific pricing rules, quote versioning, and margin targets, all within a consistent process.
- Customer-specific rules and quoting templates
- Multi-leg and mixed-provider quoting
- Margin targets with approval workflows
Improve quoting with carrier performance signals
Over time, your quoting process becomes more data-driven. 4Shipper uses carrier performance signals—such as participation rates, acceptance rates, and price deviations—to support better carrier selection.
- More reliable carrier selection based on performance data
- Stronger performance reviews with measurable signals
- Clearer internal discussions around margins and pricing
Control exceptions with approvals and alerts
Keep exceptions visible and fully documented. 4Shipper uses role-based approvals and targeted alerts to manage refusals, non-confirmations, and pricing deviations in a controlled way.
- Alerts for refusals and non-confirmations
- Approval workflows for sensitive quotes and decisions
- Stronger audit trail across teams and processes
