Project description:
"I’m looking to turn our in-house pricing engine into a customer-facing application that can live in two places: as a standalone web app and as an embeddable widget my partners can drop into their own sites.

Core workflow
• Visitors choose one of three transport modes—Trucks, Air, or Sea—and enter shipment details (we primarily move fine arts and furniture).
• The tool pulls the road distance between origin and destination, combines it with weight, dimensions, crating or custom-packing options, and any customs-handling fees, then returns a fully-itemised quote in real time.

What I already have
The pricing logic, rate tables, and packaging algorithms are working internally today; I simply need them exposed securely online. All calculations can be served through an API—you’ll just have to surface the endpoints, handle authentication, and build a clean UI/JS snippet that calls them.

Deliverables
1. A REST (or GraphQL) API mirroring our current quoting engine.
2. A responsive web interface for direct customer use.
3. A lightweight embeddable widget (plain JS or React preferred) that partners can iframe or script-tag into their pages.
4. Basic admin dashboard: usage logs, quote history, margin override.
5. Deployment and hand-off documentation so my team can maintain the service after launch.

Acceptance criteria
• Quotes update in <3 s for any U.S. origin–destination pair using verified road distance.
• Mode, distance, packing, and customs variables match our internal results to within 0.5 %.
• Widget renders flawlessly on modern desktop and mobile browsers without dependency conflicts.

If you’ve built similar logistics, shipping, or rate-calculation tools—and you’re comfortable with mapping APIs, secure token auth, and modular front-end snippets—I’d love to hear how you’d approach this and the timeline you’d need." (client-provided description)
