Quick Overview
Velocity NVOCC software connects carrier rates, customer quotes, bookings, shipment milestones and commercial workflows in one platform. It helps NVOCC teams reduce manual work, control pricing, protect margins and deliver consistent service across offices and trade lanes.
One Platform for NVOCC Operations
A non-vessel-operating common carrier purchases ocean freight capacity from shipping lines and resells transportation services to customers without operating the vessel.
This requires NVOCC teams to manage carrier contracts, surcharges, customer pricing, bookings, documents, shipment milestones and agent coordination. Velocity connects these workflows so pricing, sales and operations teams work from the same structured information.
Centralize Carrier Rates
Rates received through spreadsheets, emails and carrier portals can quickly become outdated or inconsistent. Velocity’s freight rate management software centralizes:
- Contract and spot rates
- FCL and LCL pricing
- Origin and destination charges
- Carrier and agent rates
- Equipment-specific costs
- Surcharges and local fees
- Rate validity periods
- Amendments and rate versions
Create Freight Quotes Faster
Velocity’s freight quote management software converts structured rate data into customer-ready quotations. NVOCC teams can:
- Compare valid carrier options
- Apply customer-specific margins
- Add inland and local services
- Include surcharges and commercial terms
- Create branded digital or PDF quotes
- Track viewed, accepted and expired quotes
- Maintain approval and revision histories
Protect NVOCC Margins
Velocity allows pricing rules to be configured by customer, trade lane, carrier, equipment type, service or branch.
Minimum-margin controls and approval workflows help prevent unauthorized discounts. Teams can also trace how carrier costs, surcharges and pricing overrides produced the final customer price.
| Team | Velocity Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Pricing | Rates, surcharges, validity and margin rules |
| Sales | Quote creation, sharing and follow-up tracking |
| Operations | Booking handoff, milestones and exceptions |
| Customer service | Shipment visibility and document access |
| Management | Audit trails and performance reporting |
Manage Shipments and Exceptions
The Velocity Operations Tower gives NVOCC teams a shared view of shipment progress, operational actions and exceptions. Teams can monitor milestones such as:
- Booking confirmation
- Documentation cutoff
- Container gate-in
- Vessel departure
- Transshipment
- Vessel arrival
- Cargo release
- Container collection
- Empty container return
- Final delivery
Give Customers Digital Access
Velocity’s digital freight portal provides a branded customer environment for quotations and shipment information.
Depending on the configured workflow, customers can request quotes, review offers, submit booking information, follow shipment milestones and access documents without relying on repeated email updates.
Connect Velocity with Existing Systems
Velocity can complement an established TMS rather than requiring a complete system replacement. Its TMS integration can exchange customer, quote, booking, charge, document and shipment data with existing operational systems.
The platform can also connect freight activity with customer accounts and sales opportunities through CRM integration.
