Before Melrose
About 10 minutes per quote
800 to 1,000 inbound quote requests per week
Only about 100 quotes per week were answered because the team had to cherry pick the highest likelihood opportunities
Hundreds of requests were not quoted, leading to missed opportunities and tens of thousands in revenue left on the table
With Melrose Quoting
Plugged into Gulf Winds’ rate sheets with complete lane coverage
Automatic replies for spot quote checks within pre approved boundaries
Human approval workflow for complex quotes where Melrose prepares most of the quote and reps finalize discounts, accessorials, or special rates
Push button storage for accounting and CRM while replying to the customer
Pricing supported across fixed, zone, and mileage band or per mile
Mileage computed using PC Miler or Google Trucks API
What changed
Gulf Winds moved from “we only quote the best 100” to “we can quote far more of the 800 to 1,000 safely and consistently,” without slowing down the team.
