Challenge & Solution
Real business challenges and our targeted automation solutions
Business Bottleneck
Car Haul Direct, a team with 15+ years of industry experience, relied on expert‑driven quoting that took ~15 minutes per request.
As the company scaled, there was an opportunity to shorten quote time, standardize data‑driven pricing, offload the sales team via self‑service, and introduce premium options without increasing operating costs.

“Architeq's calculator completely changed our business model. We went from 15 salespeople manually creating quotes to 7 people confirming automated bookings. Now we capture every lead, not just those willing to spend 15 minutes on the phone. The pricing is based on our actual shipments rather than guesswork, and clients see exactly why they pay what they pay. Competitors still quote from their heads—we have a data advantage.”
