title: "How to answer freight quote requests with AI"
description: "Start from your quote request form, rate sheets and carrier agreements, past quotes for similar lanes and the emails customers send. AI can read each request, pull out origin, destination, dates, weight, dimensions and special handling, ask the customer for anything missing, and draft a quote using your own rates and rules. A pricing or sales person checks every quote, adjusts it where needed, and approves it before it is sent."

# How can a freight broker or logistics provider use AI to answer quote requests faster, without quoting from incomplete or wrong shipment details?
Start from your quote request form, rate sheets and carrier agreements, past quotes for similar lanes and the emails customers send. AI can read each request, pull out origin, destination, dates, weight, dimensions and special handling, ask the customer for anything missing, and draft a quote using your own rates and rules. A pricing or sales person checks every quote, adjusts it where needed, and approves it before it is sent.
## What this means in practice
- Use your request form, rate sheets, carrier agreements and past quotes as the source
- Pull origin, destination, dates, weight, dimensions and special handling from each request
- Ask the customer for missing details before drafting a quote
- Draft quotes using your own rates and rules, and flag unusual lanes or loads
- A pricing or sales person checks and approves every quote before it is sent
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
