TAKING THE drudge out of freight rate quotations was the motivation behind the launch of Johannesburg-based Freight Quotation and Shipping Costings.
The brainchild of John Loftus, who has many years of experience in the shipping industry, the company offers up-to-date costings for imports, exports or inland charges, guaranteeing an email reply within 24 hours.
I know from experience that agents are seldom happy about the task of sourcing a set of quotes after the exporter has called on them, Loftus told FTW.
We will source the correct charges and put the client in touch with the available lines and those offering the best figures. At the same time they are under no obligation to us or the line to go through with the deal. What it amounts to is that they are buying information from us, and that is what we offer.
