Straight answers, no conference required.

It decomposes the route, builds a candidate list from your network memberships and shipment history, sends structured RFQs on email and WhatsApp with your deadline, chases non-responders once, and aggregates every reply into a single normalized comparison. Response times and quotes flow into each partner's scorecard automatically.

No — it runs on top of them. Networks are where partners are found and where payment protection lives; the desk is how you systematize what happens between conferences: who you ask, how fast they answer, who executes, who deserves more volume. Think of it as the performance layer your memberships never shipped.

Four dimensions, all from your own data: response speed across every RFQ, quote competitiveness when compared, execution record (milestones, documents, PODs), and settlement behaviour (SOA discipline, disputes, netting). Protection status — Gold Medallion-class programs — is noted per network membership.

Email and WhatsApp, in a structured format that makes replies comparable: lane, cargo, service, validity requested, your deadline. Replies in any format — PDF, email body, WhatsApp message — are parsed back into one comparison.

Yes — protection status is a scorecard field. Network programs differ meaningfully (per-claim caps, cross-network coverage, annual pools), and the desk keeps each partner's coverage visible next to their numbers, because a brilliant rate from an unprotected stranger is a different proposition than the same rate from a protected member.

It tracks both directions: the freehand you send a partner and the nominations they send you. Reciprocity imbalances become visible instead of vaguely felt — which changes renewal conversations.

Yes — alongside CargoWise, Logi-Sys, Kale, Shipsy, Magaya, or Excel and Tally. Partner data, RFQs and comparisons live in the desk; jobs continue in whatever runs your operations.

The relationship itself. The desk drafts RFQs, chases, collates and scores; you decide who gets the business, who gets a hard conversation, and who gets dinner at the next conference. Judgment stays with the person who owns the network.
