Problem

Transport companies spend hours daily on manual quoting. Every inquiry requires checking routes, calculating fuel costs, fleet availability and margins. Sales reps do it manually in Excel or on paper.

Result? Slow response time = clients go to competitors. Errors in quotes = lost money. And a salesperson's salary is €2,000-3,000/month + overhead.

We needed a system that automatically quotes in seconds, tracks the fleet in real-time and manages the sales funnel — without a salesperson.

Solution

Cargonaut is a transport sales platform — from client inquiry to order fulfillment, in one system.

1. Automated Quotes

Client enters a route — the system calculates the price in 30 seconds based on distance, cargo type, fleet availability and current market rates. No waiting for a salesperson.

Quoting panel: route → calculation → quote in 30 seconds

2. GPS Tracking

Real-time fleet tracking. Client sees where their cargo is, and the dispatcher manages routes and assigns vehicles from one panel.

GPS tracking: live fleet position + status of each order

3. Sales Funnel + CRM

Automated funnel: inquiry → quote → acceptance → fulfillment → invoice. Every stage with notifications, statuses and communication history. Self-service client portal.

The system doesn't take vacations, doesn't call in sick, and handles multiple clients simultaneously.

Clients get quotes in seconds instead of waiting for a call back. Since implementing Cargonaut, we handle 3× more inquiries without additional staff. Conversion improved because we respond faster than competition.
