Contract rate management for complex carrier agreements

Take the manual work out of carrier contract enforcement. Agistix models every contract the way it was negotiated and applies it automatically on every shipment.

From rate engine to contract enforcement

  • Integrated rate engine

    Contract rates, fuel indexes, and benchmark rates, all applied automatically.

    • Rate sources integrated from carrier-direct contracts, SMC3 CzarLite for LTL, and other benchmark providers
    • Custom LTL, TL, air, and ocean rates built by mode, weight, mileage, lane, or commodity
    • DOE-driven fuel surcharges applied automatically, with custom fuel tables available as needed
    • Every contractual input applies automatically at rating without manual lookups or separate calculations
    Integrated rate engine
  • Accessorial configuration and control

    Every accessorial your contract defines, added to the right shipments in real time.

    • Integrated with PC Miler, Google mileage, and similar mapping providers for distance-based accessorial calculations
    • Supports fixed-price, percentage-based, and quantity-based accessorial structures
    • Any combination of mode, weight, dimensions, lane, or commodity attributes can trigger the correct accessorial
    • Correct accessorial applies automatically when a shipment matches the configured conditions
    Accessorial configuration and control
  • Contract terms enforced through freight audit

    Contracted rates applied at booking, verified against every invoice.

    • The contract rate quoted is the rate enforced through routing guides and freight audit match files
    • Continuous variance reporting compares contracted rates against invoiced cost on every shipment
    • Discrepancies between contracted and actual cost surface automatically
    Contract terms enforced through freight audit
  • Carrier performance and cost analysis

    Freight cost trends and carrier compliance data built for contract negotiations.

    • Tracks actual freight costs, service levels, and carrier compliance against contracted terms across every lane and mode
    • Gives procurement teams a complete performance picture ahead of contract renewal
    • Surfaces where carriers are underperforming and where there is room to negotiate better terms

FAQs

  • Can Agistix model multi-tier rate breaks and complex contract structures?

    Yes. Agistix supports weight-break, mile-based, point-to-point, region-to-region, and combination rate structures. Variable accessorials can be configured as fixed-price, percentage-based, or quantity-based charges, triggered by mode, weight, dimensions, lane, commodity, or any combination of negotiated attributes.

  • How does Agistix handle fuel surcharges?

    Agistix integrates directly with U.S. DOE diesel and jet-fuel indexes, updating fuel surcharge rates automatically as indexes change, with custom fuel tables available as needed. Surcharges apply per contract terms on every shipment, eliminating manual fuel surcharge lookups and calculation errors.

  • Does Agistix integrate with freight audit and pay providers?

    Yes. Agistix generates match files for leading FAP providers including Cass, U.S. Bank, Trax, A3, and ControlPay, carrying contracted rates and terms through to invoice reconciliation. This ensures every invoice is audited against what was actually negotiated rather than what was billed.

  • Can different business units operate under separate contract sets?

    Yes. Agistix supports per-business-unit contract configurations, allowing different teams or divisions to operate under their own contracted rates and accessorial structures while maintaining portfolio-level visibility and rollup reporting across the organization.
