Use case
TMS & portals
Expose GRE into shipper and carrier portals, internal tools, and partner systems.
Global freight rating, one engine
Speed, accuracy, and control for every rate you publish.
Global Rating Engine gives you a single API to price LTL, volume, and TL with contract logic you control, margin guardrails, and consistent answers everywhere your team rates freight.
Built for shippers, 3PLs, and brokers who have outgrown spreadsheets and siloed rating tools.
Why Global Rating Engine
One engine. Every capability you need.
Instead of scattering logic across spreadsheets, TMS configs, portals, and custom tools, GRE gives you a single unified rating engine with all core capabilities built in.
PERFORMANCE & RELIABILITY
- Speed at Scale. Handle high-volume rating requests instantly without lag.
- Accuracy. Rates align with billing with minimal variance.
- Rate Testing. Validate rating logic before publishing to production.
- Consistent Results. Get the same rating answers across every workflow that calls GRE.
- Cloud-Based. Scalable, secure, and no on-prem hardware to maintain.
PRICING INTELLIGENCE & LOGIC CONTROL
- Custom Logic. Apply rules unique to your contracts, customers, or lanes.
- Historical Rating. Re-run rates exactly as they were calculated at the time, even after contracts or rules change.
- Multi-Mode Blending. Compare LTL, volume, and TL side by side in a single engine.
- Multi-Method Pricing. Rate by weight, mileage, or custom structures with one model.
- Accessorial Intelligence. Auto-detect and apply likely surcharges so pricing reflects reality.
- Margin Transparency Controls. Show or hide markups depending on user, role, or channel.
- Margin Guardrails. Protect profits with configurable margin limits.
- RFP Support. Tools that align to pricing events and bid workflows.
INTEGRATIONS & DEPLOYMENT FLEXIBILITY
- Integration-Ready API. Easy connections into TMS, ERP, portals, and custom apps.
- API & Contract-Based Rating. Support both live API calls and static contract tables in the same engine.
- Multi-Tenant or Dedicated. Deploy in shared or isolated infrastructure, based on your governance needs.

How it works
API-first, contract-aware, implementation-friendly.
Global Rating Engine is designed to slide into your existing tools while giving you a central place to manage rating logic.
1
Connect your systems
Wire GRE into your TMS, ERP, portals, or custom apps over a simple HTTP API.

3
Publish consistent answers
Every system that calls GRE sees the same logic, margins, and accessorial rules.
Designed for teams
Not just an API—an engine your teams can live with.
GRE is built for the reality that pricing is never "set and forget". Contracts change,
carriers adjust, customers negotiate. You need an engine that can keep up without
re-writing code every time.

Modern stack, deployment options that fit your risk profile.
GRE can run as a multi-tenant service or a dedicated instance, with clear boundaries around data, environments, and change control.
