FIFO quoting is the most repetitive work in charter. Same route, same pax count, same aircraft, different date. If you're quoting Monday's rotation on Friday afternoon — and again on Monday morning when the pax count changes — you're burning hours every week. FareBuild's quote templates turn a 15-minute FIFO quote into a 3-second operation.
The problems you're solving with Excel
✗Same rotation, quoted from scratch every time
Your Perth-to-Pilbara FIFO rotation runs every Tuesday. You quote it from Excel every week because the pax count changes by 2. That's 15 minutes × 52 weeks = 13 hours/year on one rotation.
✗Remote strip fuel planning is manual
Flying Perth to a Pilbara strip in a PC-12? You need to check if the strip has Jet-A1, calculate fuel stops, and factor the extra landing fees. That's another 10 minutes per quote.
✗No quote history — you can't compare margins
Did you quote $4,200 or $4,800 for last month's Pilbara rotation? If it's in Excel files on three different computers, you don't know. Margin tracking is impossible.

Every quote records cost, price, and margin percentage. Filter by route, by client, by month. See exactly which rotations are profitable and which are eroding margin.
