Quote in seconds. Win the load. Keep the margin.
Every hour spent quoting is a load a faster broker already booked. Margo prices any lane in seconds — from your own governed cost-to-serve — so your team responds while the RFQ is still hot and never wins a load that loses money. Then it goes further: it works the phones to lock the load in, recovers it if a carrier falls off, and screens every carrier for fraud. Load boards quote the shipper and walk away; Margo prices it, books it, and protects it.
Built for freight brokers, 3PLs, and carriers. Every quote in seconds — margin-checked, every time.

The problem
Three forces are squeezing every brokerage
Fraud, margin, and speed each leak in the gaps between quoting, dispatch, and follow-through — and the market made all three harder this year. The trap: fixing one usually makes another worse.
Trust is fragmented
Freight fraud rose roughly 27% year over year, with industry losses estimated up to $35 billion. Among brokers who have been defrauded, 86% call double-brokering the single biggest threat they face.
One bad carrier costs you the load and the claim.
Every pricing mistake compounds
Margins are structurally compressed. In a representative brokerage, roughly $210–$215 of gross margin per load — about 11% — is needed just to break even. There's no room to price from stale numbers.
Under-price and eat it; over-price and lose the bid.
The market moves before the workflow does
Every quote is a guess without current data, and the faster broker books the load. But speed without context is its own risk — it's how you win a load that loses money, or hand it to a carrier you shouldn't.
The hour you spend quoting is a load already booked.
These aren’t three separate problems. They’re a triangle.
The decision triangle
Speed, margin, and trust pull against each other
They aren't three unrelated problems — they're one trade-off. Push any single corner and another gives. Margo's edge is deciding across all three at once.
Optimize speed alone and fraud slips in.
Optimize trust alone and your win rate falls.
Optimize margin alone and coverage slows.
Margo weighs true cost, carrier trust, and coverage in one governed decision — so every quote is faster, safer, and more profitable at the same time, and you never trade one corner for another.
The Outcome Loop
A decision engine, not another dashboard
Most tools show you data. Margo runs a closed loop — every load makes the next decision smarter, so intelligence compounds instead of resetting.
Request
Capture the quote or RFQ the moment it lands.
Context
Enrich it with live rate sheets, lanes, fuel, and surcharges.
Decision
Recommend the priced decision — weighing true cost, service, and how each carrier actually performs — with proprietary algorithms, not a chatbot's guess.
Outcome
Deliver the load, then reconcile the carrier's invoice against your quote — so the margin you booked is the margin you bank.
Learning
Every result — down to how carriers really bill — makes the next quote sharper, so the same margin leaks don't repeat.
The loop evolves. Intelligence compounds.
Where Margo fits
Not a load board. Not a marketplace. Your margin brain.
Digital brokerages exist to sell the shipper a rate — and to compete with you. Margo exists to protect and grow your margin on every load you price.
Spreadsheets

- Rates scattered across carrier files
- Priced by hand, best guess

Margo
Built for the freight seller

- ✓Shows true all-in margin + the priced decision
- ✓Every decision driven by proprietary algorithms — auditable, replayable
- ✓Closes the loop — invoice variance feeds the next quote
Beyond the quote
Margo doesn't just price the load. It works it.
Pricing is the tip of the spear. Margo is a control tower that acts on the decision — it calls, emails, books, and recovers — and every action is governed by policy you own and recorded on an audit trail.
It works the phones
Margo calls the carrier to confirm the pickup, captures a delay or a no-show, and can email the rate confirmation mid-call — with a copy on your desk. What was said on the phone becomes a written, clickable record before the call ends.
Voice + mid-call rate consIt recovers no-shows
The moment an assigned carrier ghosts a pickup, Margo catches it and re-covers the load with a ranked, trust-vetted replacement — before the window closes and the load is lost.
No-show recoveryIt screens every carrier
Authority, safety, and fraud signals are checked on every carrier. High-risk or unverified carriers are hard-gated — they're never auto-booked, no matter what. Your defense against double-brokering, built in.
Carrier vetting & fraud gatesIt acts on your leash
Turn autonomy up or down per scenario. Margo only acts inside the limits you set — trust bands, price tolerance, dollar ceilings — with a cancel window and a full audit trail on every move.
Governed autonomyBuilt for your whole desk
One engine, every seat on the desk
The rep quoting the load is just the start. Everyone who owns a piece of the margin gets the view — and the proof — they need.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Will it work with my carrier rate sheets?
Yes. Send us a carrier's rate sheet in whatever format it arrives — .xlsx, PDF, or CSV — and you get back clean, priced lanes you can quote from. Odd or inconsistent formats are handled for you.
Do you support LTL and truckload?
Yes — Margo prices LTL and pallet/volume freight as well as truckload, and ingests multi-carrier rate sheets in either format, so the same margin call works across your modes.
Do I have to replace my TMS?
No. Margo is a decision layer that sits on top of your existing quoting and systems — it makes the margin call, it doesn't replace your operations stack.
Does Margo act on its own — and is that safe?
Only as far as you allow. You set the autonomy level per scenario, with trust bands, price tolerance, and dollar ceilings; Margo acts inside those limits, with a cancel window before anything commits and an audit trail on every action. High-risk or unverified carriers are hard-gated from auto-booking no matter the setting. Start in observe-only and turn it up when you're ready.
How is my data protected?
Your data is isolated to your workspace, access is role-based per teammate, and every decision is captured in an audit trail so it's explainable and replayable.
How do we get started?
Book a demo and we'll walk through Margo on your own lanes and rate sheets, then help you bring your team into one workspace.
