Common + Customer-Specific Rate CardsThe Common Rate Card sets the minimum floor — no job can be priced below it. Customer-specific cards override for agreed pricing with individual clients.
Rates flow the whole wayFreight auto-populates on the Sales Order and carries through to the invoice — eliminating the biggest source of billing errors in container haulage.
Why this matters
Billing errors eliminatedRates entered once — used everywhere. Invoices match what was agreed, every time.
Minimum floor enforcedSales teams can't go below the rate floor. Profitability is protected at the system level.
Customer-specific pricingDifferent agreed rates for different customers — managed in one place, applied automatically.
