Container size, route, dispatch window, commodity type, and humidity exposure were all affecting the final requirement, but the initial inquiry asked only for a unit price.
Approach
The RFQ was reframed around 20ft/40ft container size, transit days, cargo type, loading style, strip count direction, Incoterms, destination, SDS, and COA needs.
Proof Path
The buyer was guided to share route, port/city, recurring shipment schedule, cargo sensitivity, and documentation requirements before final quotation.
Outcome
The quote conversation became useful for both technical sizing and freight planning instead of only comparing strip price.
