Every rate, applied automatically before it's booked.
Load millions of carrier rates, surcharges, and contract terms once. Freightgate applies the right rate to every shipment automatically — across all modes and multi-leg routings — so spend follows your contracts, not whoever booked it.
Rates live in spreadsheets, inboxes, and memory.
When the rulebook isn't in one place, the same lane gets quoted three ways. The savings you negotiated never reach the invoice, and variability quietly becomes cost across thousands of shipments.
One rate engine, applied on every shipment.
Freightgate holds your contracts, tariffs, and accessorials as policy and applies them automatically before booking — not after. Every quote, route, and award is checked against the rate you actually agreed to.
From contract to applied rate, in four steps.
The same logic runs on every shipment, automatically, so the rate you negotiated is the rate that gets applied.
Load once
Import contracts, tariffs, and surcharges by Excel, EDI, or API into one versioned library.
Apply automatically
On every quote and booking, the right rate and routing are selected against your policy.
Catch exceptions
Off-contract or non-compliant moves are flagged before they ship, with the on-contract option shown.
Audit to contract
The applied rate carries to invoice audit, so every payment matches what you agreed.
What rate management automates.
Millions of carrier rates
Manage contract, spot, and tariff rates across ocean, air, land, and rail in one versioned library, ready to apply.
Multi-leg routing
Optimize across multiple legs, comparing true door-to-door cost and transit so the best-fit routing wins every time.
Surcharge & accessorial logic
Fuel, congestion, and accessorial rules apply automatically, so the quoted rate is the landed rate — with no surprises later.
Spot vs. contract comparison
See spot and contract side by side on every lane, so a market move is a decision you make, not a leak you find later.
Automated contract compliance
Every booking is checked against the agreed rate automatically. Off-contract moves are flagged before they ship, not discovered at audit.
Versioned rate library
Every rate change is versioned with an audit trail, so you always know which terms applied to which shipment, and when.
See the right rate win, before the booking.
Freightgate compares every eligible rate and routing, applies your contract terms and surcharges, and locks the landed rate before dispatch — so there are no off-contract surprises at invoice time.
How pre-audit closes the loopThe same lane, run two ways.
- The same lane gets quoted three different ways.
- Negotiated savings are lost between contract and invoice.
- Off-contract moves surface weeks later, at audit.
- Surcharges get reconciled by hand, after the fact.
- One rate, applied consistently on every shipment.
- Landed cost locked before the booking goes out.
- Off-contract moves flagged before they ship.
- Surcharges and accessorials applied automatically.
Built for the scale global supply chains run at.
Ocean, air, land, and rail rates managed and applied automatically in a single library.
True door-to-door cost and transit compared across every leg of the move.
Every invoice matched to the contract rate before payment, so recovered spend is automatic.
Integrates, it doesn't replace.
Freightgate sits above the ERP, TMS, and carriers you already run as the control layer, applying your rate policy across them automatically. Two decades of integrations mean most of your carriers are already live on day one.
Live in weeks, not quarters.
Upload any Excel format you already keep rates in, or connect by EDI and API. Carriers pay nothing to serve you, and delivery is collaborative from kickoff to go-live.

What buyers ask first.
How are rates loaded into Freightgate?
Upload any Excel format you already use, connect by EDI or API, or import directly from your carriers and forwarders. Because Freightgate has two decades of integrations in the library, most of your carriers are already live, so loading is a matter of weeks, not quarters.
Does it replace our TMS or ERP?
No. Freightgate sits above the systems you already run as the control layer and applies your rate policy across them automatically. It integrates through EDI, API, and web services; it does not rip and replace.
What happens when a booking goes off-contract?
It is flagged before it ships, with the on-contract alternative shown alongside it. The exception is handled at decision time, not discovered weeks later at invoice audit.
Which modes does rate management cover?
Ocean, air, land, and rail, including multi-leg moves, all in one rate engine, so the same policy applies no matter how the freight moves.
How does it connect to invoice audit?
The applied rate carries straight through to Audit & Payment, where every invoice is matched to the contract rate before it is paid.
