Pricing Automation

Quote in seconds. Win more deals.

Your margin rules, applied to every lane, instantly — so you never quote at a loss again.

// THE PROBLEM

Manual quoting is slow. Slow quotes lose deals — by the time your agent finishes typing, the customer's already booked elsewhere. And manual math means inconsistent margin: agents leave money on the table on easy lanes and quote below cost on tricky ones, often without realizing.

// HOW CARLINK SOLVES IT

Carlink computes a quote in under a second using your historical lane data, vehicle modifiers, and margin floors. When Super Dispatch has a recommended price, it's shown side-by-side so the agent can compare. Every quote is consistent. Every margin is protected. Every customer gets the price before your competitor calls them back.

// KEY BENEFITS

What you actually get.

Lane-based pricing learned from your history

Carlink loads your last 12 months of completed orders and uses them as the baseline price for every future quote on the same lane. The model gets sharper with every closed load — you're competing against your own historical data, not a generic market average.

Vehicle-type modifiers built in

Sedan, truck, F-350, RV, motorcycle, boat, equipment, inoperable, oversized — each adjusts the base lane price automatically. Agents stop guessing the multiplier for an inop vs. a runner.

Margin floor enforcement

Set the minimum margin per agent or per lane. Carlink shows a warning before an agent can send an under-priced quote. Every override is logged for review — no quiet leaks.

Live Super Dispatch market reference

When SD has a recommended price for your route, Carlink shows it side-by-side with your quote (with confidence score). The agent sees both numbers before sending — informed decisions, no blind pricing.

// HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. That's it.

1

Import your historical lanes

Carlink ingests your last 12 months of completed orders. The pricing baseline is built in minutes — no manual lane setup.

2

Set your rules once

Per-agent margin floors, vehicle modifiers, fuel surcharge logic. All configurable per company. The rules apply to every future quote until you change them.

3

Auto-quote every new lead

Lead lands → Carlink prices it → quote ships to the customer via SMS + email under 60 seconds. The agent reviews and adjusts only when needed.

// A REAL EXAMPLE

How a typical day looks.

A new lead lands at 10:47 AM: 2018 Honda Civic, Phoenix → Dallas. Carlink pulls 14 prior Phoenix–Dallas Civic loads from your history (avg $1,180), applies your 22% margin floor, layers Super Dispatch's $1,250 recommendation (confidence: high), and sends the customer $1,250 by SMS + email at 10:47:48 — 48 seconds after the lead arrived. The agent didn't touch it. By 11:15 the customer accepts.
