Courier Software — Win More Delivery Jobs from Your Website Without Manual Quoting

There are two distinct problems courier businesses face. The first is winning new jobs — getting inbound enquiries from customers who find you online. The second is managing those jobs once won — routing, dispatching, tracking, proof of delivery.

Most "courier software" products focus entirely on the second problem. They are dispatch platforms for businesses that already have a steady flow of jobs. They do nothing to help you get new enquiries from your website.

QuoteKit solves the first problem: winning new jobs from your website without manual quoting.

Here is the gap it fills. A customer searches for a courier service. They land on your website. Without an instant quote calculator, they see a contact form, a phone number, or a "request a quote" button. They click away and book someone else — usually in under two minutes.

With QuoteKit on your website, that same customer enters their pickup and delivery addresses, gets a real price via Google Maps in seconds, and their details land in your inbox before they have left the page.

Distance-based quote calculator: The core feature. Google Maps calculates the actual road distance between any two addresses, worldwide. Your rate per mile gives the price. Shown instantly. No manual calculation. No waiting.

Multiple vehicle types with separate rates: Motorbike, car, estate, small van, large van, Luton — configure as many vehicle options as your fleet offers. Each can have its own rate per mile, minimum charge and surcharges.

Automatic surcharges: Same-day, evening, weekend, bank holiday. Set them once and they apply automatically based on when the customer is booking. Never manually adjust a quote for urgency again.

Lead capture on every quote: Every customer who gets a price must enter their name, email and phone first — or you can show the price and capture details after. Either way, 100 percent of quote requests become leads.

Instant email notifications: A detailed email lands in your inbox the moment a customer submits a quote. Pickup, delivery, distance, vehicle, price, their contact details — everything you need to follow up in one place.

Online booking requests: Customers pick a preferred collection date and time slot. You confirm or decline in one click. They get an automatic email confirmation. Calendar view of all confirmed jobs.

Dashboard CRM: All your enquiries in one place. New, contacted, booked, declined. Search and filter. Export to CSV. Record the final agreed price against each job.

PDF quotes: Customers can download a branded PDF of their quote. Useful for business accounts that need paperwork.

Works on any website: One embed code. Works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, plain HTML, or as a shareable direct link.

Independent couriers and owner-operators: You are a one-person or small-team delivery business. You cannot be available to answer quote requests all day. QuoteKit handles inbound enquiries automatically so you can focus on deliveries.

Same-day courier companies: High urgency, instant pricing is expected. QuoteKit handles same-day surcharges automatically so your website always quotes the right price for urgent jobs.

Man and van businesses: Distance-based pricing for removals, furniture delivery and single-item courier jobs. Customers get an instant quote based on the actual distance.

Local and regional delivery companies: You cover a defined area. Set a maximum distance so the calculator only quotes for jobs within your service zone.

Freight and logistics brokers: Capture inbound enquiry details automatically. Use the lead gate so every quote request is a warm lead you can follow up with a custom price for larger jobs.

Business-to-business courier services: Regular account customers can get instant quotes from your website, reducing the admin burden of quoting every job manually.

Courier dispatch platforms like Track-POD, OptimoRoute, Routific, and Circuit are powerful tools for managing deliveries in progress. They handle route planning, driver tracking, electronic proof of delivery and customer notifications for jobs that are already booked.

What they do not do is help you win the job in the first place. They have no customer-facing quote calculator. They do not embed on your website. They are built for dispatchers, not for the customer journey.

QuoteKit sits at the front of the funnel — before the job is won. It is the tool that turns website visitors into delivery enquiries. Most courier businesses that use dispatch software also need a solution for capturing inbound leads, and QuoteKit fills that gap.

The two tools are complementary, not competing. Use QuoteKit to win the job, use dispatch software to manage the run.

QuoteKit has a free plan with 10 leads per month and a fully working distance-based quote calculator. No credit card required. You can set up the widget, embed it on your website and start capturing delivery enquiries without spending anything.

Pro plan unlocks 500 leads per month, online bookings, calendar, PDF quotes, CSV export, automatic surcharges and removal of QuoteKit branding. Pro is available in GBP, USD, EUR and other currencies.

There is a 14-day money-back guarantee on all Pro subscriptions. If you set up the courier software, embed it on your website, and it does not deliver within 14 days, you get a full refund.

For most courier businesses, one extra delivery job per month covers the cost of Pro. If the calculator captures two or three leads in the first week — which is typical for an active website — it has already paid for itself.

Does it work outside the UK?

Yes. Google Maps distance calculation works for any two addresses worldwide. You can set your currency to GBP, USD, EUR, AUD, CAD, NZD, CHF or any other currency. Courier businesses in the US, Australia, Canada, Europe and beyond use QuoteKit.

How long does setup take?

Most courier businesses are live in under 20 minutes. Sign up, set your rate per mile, add your vehicle types and surcharges, paste the embed code.

Can I set a maximum delivery distance?

Yes. Set a maximum distance in your dashboard. Any quote request beyond that distance displays a message asking the customer to contact you directly rather than showing a price.

What if I want to quote larger or unusual jobs manually?

Enable the lead gate. Customers fill in all their job details, then enter their contact information. You see the full enquiry in your dashboard and can follow up with a custom quote. You get the lead either way.

Is there a mobile app?

The dashboard is fully mobile-optimised and can be added to your home screen on iPhone and Android. It works as a full-screen app without an App Store download. You receive push-style email notifications for every new lead.

Does it integrate with accounting software?

CSV export is available on Pro. Export your leads to a spreadsheet for import into Xero, QuickBooks, FreshBooks or any accounting platform.
