FLOW LGX · PART 10 · JULY 2026
With carriers onboard, July 2026 connected them to the work. Customers and distributors post a request for quote; approved carriers answer with a price; the best offer becomes a job. This is the marketplace that turns Flow LGX from a tool into a network.
Month by month, how a logistics platform for a Toronto client went from a simple brief to a live, multi-company SaaS product.
Customers post a request for a quote, approved carriers reply with prices before a deadline, and the accepted quote becomes a job. A marketplace shows each carrier’s rating and compliance status.
A good quote needs a good request. The RFQ form asks for the commodity, dimensions, pickup and delivery contacts, pickup and delivery requirements, the service needed, the schedule and any additional conditions. Carriers should never have to phone back to ask what they are quoting for.
Every request and job appears on one jobs board. Each row shows the job number, customer, carrier, lane (where the freight goes from and to), where the job came from, its status — such as “Quotes received” or “Closed out” — and, most usefully, the next step: “Review quotes”, “Complete”, and so on. Filters by board, status and job source let each team see only the work waiting for them.
Freight prices change quickly, so every request has an expiry. The interface shows the hours remaining, and expired requests are marked clearly. When a quote is declined, the customer chooses a reason, which gives carriers useful feedback and the platform owner real data about why deals are lost.
On the customer side, selecting a request shows every vendor quote against it side by side, so comparing offers takes seconds.
Direct customers can browse a vendor marketplace and filter carriers by service type, service region, rating, response time and compliance status — compliant, pending, or expired. From the list they can view a carrier’s profile, read reviews, or contact them. Compliance status comes straight from the onboarding documents built in June.
Customers also store goods. Storage requests let them ask for delivery from storage, local pickup, or storage removal, with the job, address, pickup contact, location requirements and whether an appointment is needed.
Ask for every detail in the request, once. Each missing field in a quote request becomes a phone call that the platform was meant to remove.
