Freight procurement has a timing problem. Vendors submit quotes at all hours. Deadlines expire. Shipments shift status while you're in a meeting. The window between a vendor submitting a competitive quote and you accepting it can be the difference between locking in a great rate and watching an RFQ expire with only one response.
Logwo's notification system was built specifically around this reality: every alert you need, delivered the way that works for how you actually work.
The three layers
1. Instant email notification
The moment a vendor submits a quote on any of your open RFQs, Logwo sends a branded email to your inbox. The email includes:
- The vendor's name and quoted price
- Transit time and currency
- The RFQ title, mode and route
- A direct link that opens the quote comparison view
You don't have to log in to Logwo to know a quote has arrived. The email gives you enough context to decide whether you need to act now or wait for more quotes to come in. The link takes you straight to the comparison view — one click from email to decision.
2. In-app notification bell
The header bar in Logwo shows a bell icon with an unread count badge. Every notification — quote received, deadline approaching, shipment status change — adds to that count.
Clicking the bell opens a chronological notification feed. Each item shows the type, the relevant RFQ or shipment name, a timestamp, and a direct link. You can mark notifications read individually or clear all at once.
The feed is persistent — notifications don't disappear when you navigate between pages. If you were away for a day and three vendors submitted quotes across two different RFQs, you'll see all three queued up with their details when you return.
3. Daily email digest
For shippers who prefer to batch their freight decisions rather than act on every notification individually, Logwo offers a configurable daily summary email.
The digest lands in your inbox once a day (at a time you set) and covers:
- Open RFQs — which are still accepting quotes and how many have been received
- Pending decisions — RFQs where quotes have arrived and you haven't accepted yet
- Shipments in transit — current status and ETA for each active shipment
- Upcoming deadlines — RFQs closing within the next 24 hours
The digest is off by default and can be enabled per-user from the account settings page. Each team member can configure their own digest schedule independently.
Configuring what you receive
Every notification type is independently toggleable. If you want instant emails for quotes but don't want deadline reminders, you can configure exactly that. If one team member wants everything and another wants digest-only, each can set their own preferences.
The notification settings page also controls which events generate in-app bell alerts — so you can keep the bell for high-priority signals and avoid it becoming background noise.
Why this matters for team accounts
On Business and Enterprise plans, multiple users share an account. Notifications are per-user — each person on the account only receives alerts for RFQs and shipments relevant to their activity. An account admin can see all events; standard users see only the ones they're involved with.
This separation matters when you have one person managing RFQs and another handling shipment follow-up. Each gets exactly the signals relevant to their role without the other's noise.
What's coming
The notification engine is built to grow alongside the rest of the platform. As team features and reporting expand, notification types will be extended to include approval requests, vendor performance milestones, and monthly spend summaries. The digest will be expandable to weekly and will gain a richer format for analytics-heavy accounts.
For now, the three layers — instant email, in-app bell, and daily digest — cover the core freight procurement workflow from first quote to delivered shipment.
