Simplifying Freight Procurement

Lighthouse makes it easy to run structured, repeatable RFQs with your trusted Logistics Service Providers. In just a few steps, you can move from request to awarded offer—without long email threads or messy spreadsheets.

Create an RFQ

Start by creating a new Request for Quotation in Lighthouse. You can either fill out a simple form with shipment details—such as origin, destination, mode, volume, and required dates—or quickly duplicate a previous RFQ to save time and maintain consistency.

Invite Your Qualified Logistics Service Providers

Select one or more of your trusted Logistics Service Providers from your list and invite them to quote. Each provider receives an email with a unique, secure link, where they can submit one or multiple offers—no account setup required.

Receive and Organize Quotes

As quotes come in, Lighthouse organizes all offers under the same RFQ. You can easily review rates, transit times, services, and conditions in a single view instead of hunting through multiple email threads.

Assess Quotes and Award

Compare offers side by side, shortlist the best options, and select a winning Logistics Service Provider. Once awarded, you can seamlessly hand over shipment details to Compass to create shipments and keep execution on track.
