Winning Quotes Starts with Your Own Data

The Best Data Is Your Data

When it's time to quote a load, there are a few things we all do instinctively:

  • We think about what we want the load to go for.
  • We reference what we believe it should go for.
  • And if we’re lucky, our quotes are in line with our data trends

But here's the truth: what the load has actually moved for your real, historical rate data is the most valuable pricing signal you have. And in most TMS platforms, it’s buried or hard to access in the moment that matters most.

That’s why MVMNT surfaces this data right where you need it: inside the quoting workflow.

You’ll see it immediately, without digging through reports or pulling up old spreadsheets. Your system history becomes your strategic edge.
 

   

Live Visibility into Real Load History

With RateLens built directly into the quoting panel, you don’t just get market rates, you get your own paid rates front and center.

What’s shown:

  • The most recent customer and carrier rate for the same lane
  • DAT spot market trends for reference
  • A historical chart showing how your rates have moved over time
  • Lane-specific context, including pickup/delivery ZIPs and mileage
     

You can also drill into the Rate History table to spot key outliers:

  • That load you overpaid for when capacity was tight? It’s there.
  • The one a carrier took as a favor? Also there.

Instead of letting these anomalies skew your averages, you can recognize them instantly, keeping your quoting accurate and competitive

 

Quote Confidently - Even on the Fly

Not every quote happens in a perfect window of time. Sometimes you’re mid-call, juggling multiple bids, or trying to respond before the next meeting hits your calendar.

MVMNT makes quoting flexible and mobile. You don’t need to switch tabs or lose context, you can open the quote side panel from anywhere and still access:

  • Full RateLens insights
  • Market comparisons
  • Load history by customer or carrier

Whether you’re quoting five loads at once or just need a quick ballpark number, MVMNT doesn’t limit your tools when time is tight

 

It’s Not Just the Tool - It’s What the Tool Lets You Do

The old saying goes: It’s not the tool, it’s the person using it.”
That’s true in freight, too, but it leaves out one important piece.

When the tool gives you better visibility, better data, and faster access to what matters, you make sharper decisions with less effort. You don’t have to “work around” your quoting system. MVMNT makes it work with you.

Your quoting process becomes:

  • More informed
  • More efficient
  • More likely to win business and protect margin

If quoting still feels like guesswork, it doesn’t have to.
