Customer Story

"23 more loads in the first month."

A regional broker out of Chicago was averaging 14% win rate on 800 monthly RFQs. Their reps were responding in 4-6 hours, by which time most loads were already covered. They turned on Debales for inbound RFQ triage and auto-quoting on a Tuesday.

By Friday of week 4, average reply time was 47 seconds and win rate had climbed to 18.2%. That worked out to 23 additional loads booked in the first month, all at protected margins.

"We went from missing two-thirds of our RFQs to actually having pipeline. My reps focus on relationships now instead of typing quotes."

Frequently Asked

Questions sales teams actually ask

You set the margin floor, the target, and the ceiling per lane and equipment. The AI quotes within your guardrails. Anything outside the win-zone gets flagged for a human before sending. Most customers see margin protected or improved, not eroded.

It plugs into McLeod LoadMaster, Tai TMS, MercuryGate, Aljex, and Revenova out of the box. Two-way sync, so quotes log to the load record and won loads create the booking automatically.

The AI quotes high-confidence standard lanes. Multi-stop, oversize, hazmat, and unusual requests are flagged for a human, with the parsed data pre-filled so your rep just confirms and prices.

We look at carriers that ran the lane in the last 30 days, then filter for safety score, insurance, and equipment. The Carrier Network Agent reaches out to the top 3 simultaneously. If nothing comes back warm, it posts to your usual load boards.

Standard go-live is 14 days. Week 1 is TMS integration and training the AI on your historical quotes and voice. Week 2 is shadow mode where the AI drafts and your reps approve. Week 3 onward is auto-send for high-confidence categories.
