Problem
Freight forwarders spend over 90% of their desk time on operational tasks—quoting and pricing (54%), document drafting (28%), and chasing follow-ups (10%)—leaving only a small fraction of time for client relationships and winning new business. Manual rate sourcing, document preparation, and status chases across multiple carriers and accounts slow response times and limit the volume of shipments a forwarder can handle without adding headcount.
Solution
Nimble provides AI agents that automate the freight forwarding workflow, handling quoting, document drafting, and status chases directly within the email and systems forwarders already use. When a rate request lands, Nimble reads it against account terms, history, lane rates, and quote history to draft a sourced quote with margin calculations and multiple carrier options within minutes. The platform flags key assumptions—such as unstacked pallets affecting chargeable weight—for human review, ensuring nothing leaves without approval. Every quote, document, and follow-up is drafted from the live thread and account context, and all actions are logged for full transparency, giving forwarders a complete view of their floor. The system works 24/7 across all lanes, handling thousands of monthly quotes while integrated directly into existing email workflows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are freight forwarding companies that handle international shipments and need to increase quote volume and operational efficiency without scaling headcount, including mid-sized forwarders with existing carrier relationships and email-based workflows.
