Monday 09:02 in Utrecht. The Busan charges changed 22 minutes earlier.
Quote 00330: a Dutch forwarder with its own Client Portal, its partner in Korea on Rotterdam–Busan, and the partner's agent in Busan. Three companies, one price, not one e-mail.
Your client asks in your portal
One 20' container, Utrecht to Busan, on a Monday morning. Your portal shows your own offers and your Korean partner's, side by side.
The latest charges are already in
The agent in Busan updated its delivery charges that afternoon, Busan time. Your client's price has them. Nobody sent anything.
One price, in euros
Origin, freight and destination from three companies become one door-to-door price in your currency, in your own portal.
Booked on one shared order
The client requests the offer. The order is yours, at the price the client saw, and your partner and its agent work it with you on the same ticket.
