1.<\/strong>\u00a0Your shipments get delayed because you don\u2019t have clarity on the price at which you have to book the container.
2.<\/strong>\u00a0You end up paying higher due to a lack of time to negotiate better freights.
3.<\/strong>\u00a0You have to invest time to continuously follow up with multiple forwarders until they quote a low freight to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.<\/strong>\u00a0It is a human tendency to procrastinate work unless triggered by external factors.
2.<\/strong>\u00a0The forwarders take you for granted and feel that they are obligated to get the business because they know that you are dependent on them.
3.<\/strong>\u00a0There is no competitiveness as they are not aware of their quote\u2019s standing. There is no incentive for them to rework and give a lower quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.<\/strong>\u00a0The forwarder is always aware of his ranking for all inquiries. So he is constantly working to quote the lowest and improve his ranking.
2.<\/strong>\u00a0You can fix a time for every inquiry on GoComet, creating a defined deadline for the forwarder to quote.
3.\u00a0The forwarder is notified on email about the status of inquiries and you don\u2019t need to call or follow up. The platform does this job for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
