About

GRL

Features
Read full description

GRL are a freight forwarder based in Egypt. This is their app: a shipping rate in a few minutes, instead of waiting on an email. Ask for a shipping rate the way you would ask a colleague. Describe your shipment — "a 40ft container from Alexandria to Rotterdam" — and the app answers with a full quotation drawn from GRL's live rate sheet: the lane, the carrier, transit time, the next sailing, and the total in US dollars, along with what the price does not cover. QUOTES YOU CAN KEEP Every quotation is saved to your phone and stays there. Come back a week later and it is still in your list, with the date it was issued and how long it stands. SHARE AS A PDF Export any priced quotation as a properly typeset PDF — the kind you can forward to a colleague, attach to an email, or print for a file. Not a screenshot. ENGLISH AND ARABIC The whole app works in both, including right-to-left layout. Switch at any time; the choice is remembered. EVERY GRL SERVICE Ocean freight is priced in the app. Air freight, trucking, customs clearance and warehousing are quoted case by case — tap any of them to reach the team directly on WhatsApp, with the service already named. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED No sign-up, no password, no email address. Open the app and ask. ABOUT GRL GRL handle ocean and air freight, land transport, customs clearance and warehousing out of Egypt.
