Manual auto-rating is not only time consuming but is also prone to human error.
Mistakes, even of a minor degree on the costing side, means an equal amount of time
spent and a consequent overpayment on the accounting side. Thus by automating the
rating process, the businesses stand to save a substantial amount of money and time,
at a reduced degree of risk.
The freight forwarding rate setup is a main component in any freight
forwarding software and has been specifically designed to use in company’s
operation for automatic rating. The computer rating program for freight
forwarders has been designed with much care to provide speedy and error free
processing of rates for different customers which are required at every step
of the on going business process.
The freight forwarding rate setup software computes rating program for the freight
forwarders - zone, weight break, service type, and flat rate are assigned in this module.
The module is designed so as to create unlimited number of rates for various customers,
just days after receiving the request. The user interface generally comes with options
for different discount entries, a rate quoting page and choices for printing and viewing
(other features also forms part of the module like exporting/importing files and BOL,
if required). These entries can also be edited and removed if required.
The module also features options to create complete report, which in turn can be
viewed and sorted.
The freight forwarding rate setup software works in coordination with other
modules which need to check the rates at different stages of operation and
vice versa. For example, the Rate Module accesses the Customer Profile and
Manifest Modules for information. Hence it has been delicately architected
for flexibility and module compatibility. It is also open to customization
depending on the business requirements and country of operation.
