Overview

Freight quoting rewards whoever already has the relationship. CargoQuote removes the names: shippers post a load, forwarders submit sealed anonymous bids, and nobody can undercut based on who they're bidding against.

The full platform — three roles, sealed bidding, verification, billing — is built and running privately ahead of a public launch. The showcase below walks the product; it is a demonstration, not the live system.

The showcase is an illustrative build, not the live platform — the production system runs privately until launch.

The problem

Freight quoting runs on relationships: the same incumbent forwarders win because they're known, not because they're competitive — and small shippers overpay for it.

The approach

Take the names off the table. Shippers post a load; verified forwarders bid sealed, so the price and the service compete instead of the letterhead. Forwarders join free and pay only after the platform has won them real jobs.
