What shippers check before they sign
Every fee in plain sight
Receiving, storage, pick and pack, value-added services and accessorials each get their own line, with the setup fee shown apart from the monthly charges, so nothing is left in a footnote.
The same rate card from every rep
Accessorial schedules, fuel terms and the assumptions behind your rates sit in locked blocks, so every rep sends the same version.
An implementation plan they can check
Put the go-live plan, service levels and how you measure them in the proposal, so operations and procurement agree what live means before they sign.
From RFP to go-live
Standard sections, tailored solution
Facility details, certifications, insurance and safety records save as blocks, so you can pull them in and spend your time on the rates and the solution for this shipper.
Setup plus monthly, with options
Show the one-off setup fee and the recurring storage and handling charges separately. Kitting, labelling and returns sit as optional items, and pallet or order volumes can take a range.
If you offer dedicated and shared space, show both as options to pick between.
See whether the service levels got read
Qwilr emails you on the first open and shows time spent on each section, so you can tell whether the service levels and implementation plan were read or only the price.
Signed by operations, procurement and finance
Operations, procurement and finance can each sign on the page, and the audit trail records who accepted.
Set rates to expire after a fixed number of days, so an award months later comes back for repricing.
What customers say on G2
What people are saying about Qwilr on G2:
Powerful visual impact, user-friendly
It's honestly hard to complain about Qwilr. Using a web-based proposals instead of PowerPoint proposals or PDF proposals, allows the ability to embed personalized introduction videos, video testimonials/reviews, and/or product/service videos.
The best option on the market
Built-in templating, tokens, the pricing suite with tiered plans is excellent, overall look and feel adds an element of professionalism, integrations with many of the tools I use is a huge win.
Over the last two years, Qwilr has made huge and regular improvements to the editor, analytics, added agreements and several other things. I remain a big fan.
A flexible and dependable tool that makes your communication stand out
Qwilr can enhance the way your communication is seen and experienced by the client, especially when it is more nuanced or subtle questions and comments that follow the main presentation. This is the kind of edge a good team needs.
Your lane bid and your proposal
Line-by-line lane rates usually go back in the shipper's spreadsheet or bid portal, and Qwilr doesn't replace that. Use Qwilr for everything around them: who you are, how you'll run the account, your service levels and terms.
Proposals can start from the deal in HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM or Microsoft Dynamics 365, and acceptance writes back. Your TMS and WMS carry on as they are. Embed a warehouse tour video so the shipper sees the operation.

Questions logistics teams ask
It's software that 3PLs, contract warehousing and fulfilment providers and freight companies use to build the proposal that wins a contract, as a web page instead of a PDF or slide deck. With Qwilr the shipper sees every fee, your service levels and the implementation plan, and signs in the same place.
Separate the one-off setup fee from the monthly charges, then list receiving, storage per pallet, pick and pack, value-added services and any minimums or peak surcharges. Shippers compare these line by line. Our pricing proposal guide covers the layout.
List each accessorial with its rate and when it applies, and say how fuel is calculated. Keep the schedule in a locked block so every rep sends the same terms.
Your facility and capabilities, the solution for this shipper, pricing, an implementation plan with dates, service levels and how you measure them, and references. See our RFP response guide.
Yes. Return the lane rates in their spreadsheet or portal as required, and send the Qwilr proposal for everything around them. Read time by section in proposal analytics shows whether the shipper got past the rates to your service levels.
Long enough for the shipper's evaluation, and short enough that fuel and labour assumptions still hold. State it in the proposal and set the link to expire after that many days. More in how to send a quote to a client.
