Quick Overview
Bring your pricing workflow into VelocityOS. Manage contract and spot rates, connect supported carrier sources, standardize charge names and apply customer-specific pricing rules from one shared rate foundation.
Help pricing and sales teams prepare consistent freight quotes with clearer visibility into rate versions, validity and charge conditions.
How VelocityOS Rate Management Works
VelocityOS rate management brings uploaded rate sheets, spot offers and supported API rates into a shared pricing workflow. Teams can organize rates by lane, mode, supplier and validity, standardize charge categories, and apply configured selling rules.
The structured rate data can then feed VelocityOS quote management, helping teams maintain a consistent cost breakdown when preparing customer proposals.
Carrier connectivity and implementation scope depend on the sources and systems included in your setup.
What Rate Management Replaces (and Why It Matters)?
When different teams use different rate files, a quote can inherit an outdated price, a missing surcharge or an unclear service assumption. VelocityOS gives pricing and sales teams a common place to manage the rate information used in their quotes.
- Bring contract sheets, spot offers and connected rate sources into one workflow.
- Organize rates by the shipment details and validity conditions that matter.
- Use consistent charge categories while checking each supplier’s charging basis.
- - Connect pricing decisions with the customer quote instead of rebuilding them in a separate file.

Standardize Charge Names for Clearer Comparisons
VelocityOS uses AI-assisted charge normalization to map inconsistent supplier labels into common categories. This helps teams compare cost components more clearly. Before treating two offers as equivalent, check their currency, charging basis, inclusions, validity and service scope. Similar charge names can still have different commercial conditions.
Who is This for?
Rate Management for Pricing, Sales and Operations Teams
Pricing Teams
- Maintain contract and spot rate libraries by lane, service, equipment, and validity
- Standardize charge structures so quotes compare across carriers and vendors
- Publish pricing rules that protect margin without slowing down quoting
Operations Teams
- Reduce booking errors caused by outdated or inconsistent rate data
- Align what was sold (charges, terms, service) with what gets executed
- Resolve exceptions faster by tracing the rate version and charge logic behind a quote
Sales Teams
- Find and compare valid options quickly (contract vs spot vs live)
- Send consistent, defensible quotes with clear line-item breakdowns
- Avoid rework caused by missing surcharges or mismatched assumptions
Management
- Enforce pricing governance (who can upload, approve, and publish rates)
- Improve consistency across branches and teams with one source of truth
- Reduce margin leakage driven by manual overrides and spreadsheet drift

Turn Managed Freight Rates into Customer-ready Quotes
Managing rates is the first step. Your team also needs to turn the selected supplier costs into a clear customer proposal.
Connect VelocityOS rate management with quote management to carry structured pricing into the quote workflow. This helps pricing and sales teams work with the same charge breakdown and configured selling rules.
Bring a representative rate sheet and shipment scenario to your demonstration. Review the path from source data to customer quote, including surcharges, validity and a customer-specific pricing rule.
VelocityOS rate management FAQs

VelocityOS supports uploaded contract rates, spot offers and supported API rate sources within its rate-management workflow. Which live sources are available depends on the carrier connections and implementation scope.
VelocityOS describes rate-management support for FCL, LCL, air freight, road and courier services. Confirm the required rate structures, supplier sources and mode-specific calculations during your demonstration.
VelocityOS uses AI-assisted mapping to organize inconsistent supplier charge labels into common categories. Pricing teams still need to check whether charges share the same basis, currency, inclusions and applicability before comparing totals.
VelocityOS supports pricing rules by customer, service type or route. Review how your markup and margin policies, permitted overrides and approval requirements should work in the configured workflow.
VelocityOS offers TMS integration and CRM integration capabilities. The required data exchanges, connector availability and configuration should be confirmed for your specific systems.
Bring a typical rate sheet, a sample shipment, an offer with included and additional surcharges, and a customer-specific pricing rule. These examples help you evaluate how VelocityOS fits your team's actual rate-to-quote workflow.
