From RFQ to Board Report: Logwo's Export and Reporting Tools Explained

Most freight managers track spend in spreadsheets they build themselves. Logwo's reporting and export tools replace that entirely — here's what's available, what each format is for, and which plan includes what.

Freight data sits in most companies in three places: email threads, a shared spreadsheet someone updates irregularly, and the forwarder's portal that only shows their own quotes. When a CFO asks "what did we spend on freight last quarter, and who gave us the best rates?" — the honest answer is usually "give me a few hours."

Logwo captures all of that data as a byproduct of the workflow. Every RFQ, every vendor quote, every shipment, every acceptance. The reporting tools turn it into something you can act on and share without any additional work.

What Logwo exports and reports on

RFQ list — CSV and Excel

From the RFQs page, you can export your full RFQ list to CSV or Excel in one click. The export includes every column: RFQ number, title, freight mode, origin, destination, submission date, deadline, number of quotes received, accepted vendor, accepted price, and status.

You can filter before exporting — by date range, mode, or status — so the file you get is already scoped to what you need. This is the fastest way to pull data for an internal review, an audit, or to reconcile against a freight invoice.

CSV export is available on Starter and above.

Quote comparison sheet — PDF

For any individual RFQ, you can generate a formatted PDF quote comparison sheet. The PDF includes:

  • Full RFQ details (route, cargo, mode, services)
  • All submitted vendor quotes in a side-by-side table
  • Lowest price highlighted
  • Acceptance decision, if made

This is the format finance teams and management actually want. No screenshots, no "let me share my screen" — just a clean, professional document that documents why a particular vendor was selected and at what price. PDF export requires Business or Enterprise.

Spend report — monthly and quarterly

The spend report shows total freight cost over any date range, broken down by vendor, route and mode. You can view it in the analytics dashboard or export it to Excel with one click.

The Excel export is structured for pivot table use — vendor name, mode, origin, destination, month, and total spend in separate columns. Most finance teams can import it directly into their existing reporting without reformatting.

Quarterly views show period-over-period comparison automatically, so you can see whether freight costs went up, down, or shifted between modes without building any formulas yourself.

Vendor performance report

The vendor performance report ranks every vendor in your directory across four metrics:

  • Response rate — what percentage of RFQs they were invited to did they actually quote
  • Win rate — what percentage of quotes they submitted were accepted
  • Average quoted price — their average price relative to the lowest quote received on the same RFQs
  • Average transit time — their average quoted transit time on accepted quotes

The report is exportable as Excel and covers any date range. It is the most useful tool for vendor review meetings — it replaces the "I think we use FedEx too much" conversation with actual data.

Advanced analytics in the dashboard

Beyond exports, the analytics dashboard has date range filters built in across all charts. Any view — spend over time, shipments by mode, top vendor rankings, quote response rate — can be scoped to last 30 days, last quarter, last 6 months, or a custom range.

The vendor benchmarking view compares a specific vendor's quoted prices against the average for the same routes and modes. This surfaces whether a vendor is consistently competitive on a particular lane or only wins when other vendors don't quote.

Which plan includes what

Reporting access is tiered:

| Feature | Free | Starter | Business | Enterprise | |---------|------|---------|----------|------------| | Analytics dashboard | Basic | Standard | Advanced + date range | Full | | RFQ list → CSV/Excel | — | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | Quote comparison → PDF | — | — | ✅ | ✅ | | Spend report (Excel export) | — | — | ✅ | ✅ | | Vendor performance report | — | — | ✅ | ✅ |

The free plan shows a basic analytics overview — spend total, shipment count, top vendor — without date range controls or export. Starter adds CSV export of the RFQ list. Business unlocks everything: PDF exports, advanced analytics, and all report types.

The point

None of this requires you to build anything. Every data point is captured automatically as you use the platform. The reports are generated on demand from data that's already there. The only thing that changes is whether you can get it out in a format that's useful to someone other than yourself.

If you're currently managing freight reporting in a spreadsheet you maintain manually, Logwo's reporting tools replace that — and they update in real time as new RFQs are sent and quotes arrive.
