AI agents that do realfreight forwarding workwith your team.
What would you do with unlimited resources? You’d chase every quote and tender to win, source the best live rates every time so margin stops leaking, keep every supplier close, and run it all on your data. Nexcade AI agents do that work with your team, visible and controlled at every step.
What you get
+50%
faster quote turnaround
Quote in minutes. Tender in hours.
A complex overnight request can become a turned-around quote by morning. Tenders, rate refreshes and bookings follow the same pattern: the agent handles the legwork, and your team makes the expert judgement calls.

files per quoting head
What matters is relationships. Give your team time back.
Chasing rates, rekeying fields and portal rounds stop eating your team’s mornings. Your team spends that time with customers, suppliers, and the service that makes you stand out.

Each file makes the next one stronger.
Every request leaves useful memory behind: customer preferences, house rules, who replied, what won, what missed, and where margin slipped. Nexcade carries that forward so the next file starts with the know-how your team already earned.
Most teams see the first mode stable inside a three-month implementation. We start on your highest-volume lanes, prove the numbers there, and roll out from work that has already proven itself.
Measured on live Nexcade Quote deployments after Q1 2026, above 50% of in-scope volume, against the prior period. Figures vary by forwarder, mode, and lane.
The answer exists. It’s in seven places.
A request lands. The rate is in a portal. Last month’s surcharge is in a spreadsheet. The customer’s preference is in someone’s head, the margin rule is in another tab, and the request itself is the ninth unread email of the morning.
Forwarding has an assembly problem. Every quote means stitching together seven sources: rates, surcharges, customer preferences, house rules, emails, the TMS and the tariff sheets.
Nexcade agents are built for the assembly. They read the inbox, the rate sources, the TMS and the house rules in one pass, do the legwork, and post one thread of work your team can act on.
