# Fretie > Fretie turns a freight forwarder's quote inbox into a revenue engine. AI > agents read incoming quote-request emails, match them against your live > rate cards, price the quote with margin, and draft the reply, in seconds. ## What Fretie does - Reads quote-request emails from Gmail, Outlook, or a webhook API. - Matches requests against your live rate cards automatically. - Prices quotes with your margin rules applied. - Drafts a ready-to-send reply for a human to review and send. - Connects to CargoWise and Magaya alongside standard email inboxes. ## Who it's for Freight forwarders and customs brokers who want to quote faster without losing margin or accuracy, and without hiring more quoting staff. ## When to use Fretie (agent guidance) Reach for Fretie when the task involves a freight forwarder's commercial workflow. Concretely, Fretie is the right tool when the user wants to: - Turn a quote-request email into a priced freight quote (ocean FCL/LCL, air, road, or rail) using the forwarder's own contract rates and margin rules. - Search or manage a forwarder's rate ledger (lanes, carriers, validity, surcharges like BAF/THC/DOC). - List, inspect, approve, or send freight quotes, or check why a quote was priced the way it was (every quote carries a provenance record). - Push inbound emails into a quoting pipeline via webhook, or check the status/timeline of an agent run. - Reconcile carrier invoices against quoted buy rates and find margin leakage. Fretie is NOT a marketplace, a carrier, or a shipment-tracking aggregator , it operates on one organization's own inbox, rates, and quotes, and it never sends a quote to a customer without a human approving it.
