LogiFindex Decision Engine

Every quote arrives with a verdict

Transport Decision Intelligence: three layers check each offer before you accept it. The system recommends - you decide.

1 · Indicative price band

Each quote is placed on a min-max band calculated from lane rate tables for the mode, season, equipment and cargo type.

2 · Provider track record

  • Completed-job ratings
  • Number of reviews
  • Verified documents

Ratings from completed jobs appear on the quote once a provider has at least 3 reviews (average and count), next to its verified documents. Before that the quote is marked "limited reviews" - never "low risk".

3 · A clear verdict

AcceptableNegotiateGood priceVerify the carrier

In band, above, slightly below or far below: you see what the price means at a glance.

Compared with Flexport: Flexport quotes its own services; a check of competing quotes against a market price band is not featured on its website. On LogiFindex several providers quote, and each quote is placed on an indicative price band with a verdict.

LogiFindex or Flexport: which should you choose?

Choose LogiFindex if

  • You want to compare several providers and choose yourself
