The Origin Story: From Hidden Inefficiencies to Global Innovation
CargoQuoter’s journey began with a revelation: even the most well-funded businesses were drowning in self-inflicted inefficiencies.
While advising a UK removals company in 2022, we uncovered a brutal truth:
£30,000 website + £10,000/month ads were yielding zero ROI due to a labyrinthine booking process.
Prospects endured 6+ clicks and manual data entry just to request a quote.
80% of ad spend evaporated as customers abandoned the site, forcing the owner to manually process quotes for 24-48 hours—only to lose 70% of bids to competitors.
This wasn’t a niche problem—it was a microcosm of the global logistics crisis.
The same operational blind spots plagued freight forwarders, carriers, and shippers:
Terrible UX costing billions in lost quotes (Flexport, 2023).
Manual quoting eroding profitability (McKinsey, 2023).
Empty capacity bleeding revenue (Maersk, 2023).
FMQ was born from this urgency—a patented system to eliminate friction at the most vulnerable point: the moment a quote is requested.
