Pricing and rating
    All consignment notes whether manually processed or received via electronic media are priced against the customer current rates file. As stated above a customer can be part of a group, thus rates need only be entered at the Parent Account level. All other accounts within the group will access the Parent Account Rate. If no rates are found for specific accounts or transit lanes the system provides the option for establishing SCHEDULE rates. The client can be allocated a specific percentage discount rate of SCHEDULE rate. At data entry the system allows the operator to override and/or bypass the calculated charge.
    The customer rates structure is based on charged Zones (from/To) and Type of Package:
  • From Charge Zone
  • To Charge Zone
  • Basic Charge (per consignment)
  • Rate
  • Kilo or Item Break
  • Flat or Sliding Scale
  • Up-to-kilo (for pallets, Cartons and other items)
  • Package Type (Pallet,bin, Carton, Kilo, Skid, Bag, Roll etc)
  • Minimum Charge (per consignment)
  • Cubic Conversion
  • Town (Different charge for nominated town)
    • If reciprocal charge applies the system will use the same rate as above for returns. The above rates structure can be applied to specific freight services within the same customer account without the need to open additional accounts for that customer.
