  • Live margin while you quote, removed automatically from the customer copy
  • Maker-checker approval, then accept or reject straight from the customer’s inbox

Freight sales desks still run on inboxes, spreadsheets and memory

A sales team juggling Air, LCL, FCL and Road enquiries at once loses track of which are open, which quotes are waiting on approval or the customer, and which calls are due. Every handoff means typing the same shipment again.

Price it, protect it, close it

Every quotation in NewageNXT sits on the enquiry it came from. The freight quotation software prices it from the right rate, keeps the margin in-house and routes it for sign-off before the customer answers.

Walk through the workflow on your own enquiries.

A field sales app, not just a notifications app

The mobile app carries the same customer, call and enquiry data as the desktop, so reps walk into a visit with context and log it before they leave the car park.

Sales on the go, for reps and managers

Reps pull up a customer’s profile, log calls, update follow-ups and check open enquiries from the field, without calling the office first.

Use cases at a glance

Four situations every freight sales desk meets in a normal week, handled in the same freight forwarding CRM.

Scenario 01

A rep juggling Air, LCL, FCL and Road enquiries at once

Many open enquiries, several services, and no single place to see them.

  • An enquiry list with sorting, filtering and pagination
  • Every enquiry on its own reference number
  • A lost-enquiry filter to review the ones that didn’t convert

Why freight forwarders are choosing NewageNXT for sales

One reference from lead to shipment

A single enquiry number carries the contact through calls, quotation and shipment, with no re-typing at any handoff.

An enquiry isn’t counted as a customer yet

New contacts start as Instant Customers and convert only when a quote is accepted, so pipeline reports stay honest.

Margin hidden automatically, not manually

The internal profit view and the customer copy are separate by design, so nobody has to delete a column before sending.

Negotiated rates applied for you

An active contract rate fetches the moment the customer and lane are selected, and an expiry date keeps stale rates out.

Approval matched to your org

Approvers are set by service, product, company and branch, not one fixed approval chain.

Competitor intel at the point of contact

Call entry records competitor information as part of the normal sales conversation, not as a separate CRM step.

One enquiry number from first call to shipment. Margin kept in-house. Every follow-up on the record.

Frequently asked questions

NewageNXT. Its Sales module covers enquiry capture, cargo and rate details, quotation, internal approval, customer acceptance, call and follow-up tracking and rate requests across Air, LCL, FCL and Road, all under one enquiry number.

NewageNXT does. Profit and margin are visible internally while the quote is built, and are automatically excluded from the customer-facing copy when it’s sent.

Yes. In NewageNXT, quote approvers are configured by service, product, company and branch, so different rules can apply to different lanes or teams before a quote reaches the customer.

Yes. The customer accepts or rejects straight from their inbox, and the status is captured automatically. If they’re unavailable, an authorised internal user can accept on their behalf, and that action is logged.

NewageNXT does. If an active, non-expired contract rate is assigned to the customer for the selected origin and destination, it fetches automatically once the customer and route are chosen.

Yes. The NewageNXT mobile app supports customer profiling, call entry and schedule checks, follow-up actions and enquiry checks. Managers can also see call activity per rep from the app.

In NewageNXT a new contact starts as an Instant Customer (IC) and becomes a confirmed customer only once a quotation is accepted, so casual, unconverted enquiries don’t inflate the pipeline.

Yes. NewageNXT sends a direct rate request to the agent or carrier by email, with CC, and tracks it by date, service, origin and destination.

Yes. Call entry in NewageNXT includes a competitor-information field, so it’s captured as part of the call.
