Opportunities
Track pursuit of specific deals from qualification to close.
1 min readLast updated 13 Apr 2026
An opportunity is a specific deal in progress with a known account — an RFQ, a tender, a new lane / service win.
Fields
- Name — e.g. "ACME FY27 Asia-EU ocean tender".
- Account — the customer.
- Owner — sales rep.
- Estimated value — annual revenue if won.
- Estimated margin — in % or absolute.
- Stage — see pipeline.
- Close date — expected.
- Probability — % likelihood of winning.
- Source — lead origin.
- Competitors — who else is bidding.
- Products / services — air / sea / road / warehousing / customs.
- Key lanes — main origin-destination pairs.
Stages
Tenant-configurable; typical:
- Qualification.
- Discovery.
- Rate build.
- Proposal sent.
- Negotiation.
- Verbal win.
- Closed won / Closed lost.
Each stage has required fields — e.g. rate build requires a draft rate card attached.
Rate build
Opportunities link to draft rate cards. Sales builds the customer's proposed rates, then submits for pricing / ops review before sending to the customer. Approval workflow configurable.
Linked documents
- Customer's RFQ / tender brief (uploaded).
- Your proposal PDF (generated from the PDF designer).
- Meeting notes.
- Competitive intel.
Close workflow
- Closed won — opportunity archives; the rate card publishes against the account; customer can book.
- Closed lost — capture reason (price, service, timing, incumbent) and competitor who won.
Win / loss reasons feed commercial analytics.
Forecasting
Pipeline-weighted forecast = sum of estimated value × probability × (stage factor). See pipeline.
Activities
Opportunities accumulate activities (calls, emails, meetings). See activities & tasks.
