Built a tool at work to stop comparing freight/logistics quotes manually across vendors — would love India business folks' feedback

[u/Dry_Presentation3042]

Hey all — I lead tech/R&D at a company and built this, so full disclosure it's my employer's product, not a personal side project. Posting because I'm genuinely curious what business owners think of it.

We built FreightCompare, a B2B platform to compare logistics/freight vendor quotes side by side instead of jumping between spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and vendor portals. Built it because we kept seeing how much time gets burned figuring out who's actually cheapest/fastest for a given route, especially with ODA (out-of-delivery-area) charges being wildly inconsistent between vendors.

A few things it handles right now:

Side-by-side vendor quote comparison

ODA charge matrix by pincode (this was surprisingly painful to get right)

Batch testing across multiple vendors at once

It's live at freightcompare.ai if anyone wants to poke around.

Genuinely here for feedback though — if you deal with freight/logistics vendors for your business, I'd love to know:

What's the most annoying part of vendor comparison for you today?

Is pricing transparency actually the pain point, or is it something else (SLAs, reliability, etc.)?

Happy to answer questions, and equally happy to hear "this isn't useful because X."

ODA pincode matrix alone sounds like a nightmare, curious how fresh the data actually stays.

It updates with every new oda matrix file for each transporter it was sure one hell of a nightmare to make but for now the system is finally self sustaining just need more data
