In contrast to the quotation phase (customer inquiry), quotation preparation is an internal operation: the logistics provider first analyzes the scope of services (shipment weight, dimensions, hazmat class, Incoterm, target date), then plans the optimal route and required resources (vehicle, warehouse space, labor), and determines costs in detail (fuel, wages, storage fees, insurance).
