Live carrier prices, with your margins built in<\/h1><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cargoflux fetches prices live from carriers and forwarders the moment you compare or book. Your margins are added automatically, so every customer sees the right sales price, with every surcharge included.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why live prices?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rate sheets go out of date, and surcharges change. Live prices come straight from the carrier at the moment you book, so the price you see is the price that applies, and the price you charge is always right.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span>1.<\/strong> Switch on live prices for each carrier in your settings.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span>2.<\/strong> When you compare or book, Cargoflux fetches the current price from the carrier or forwarder.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span>3.<\/strong> Your margins are added for each customer, with surcharges included.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span>4.<\/strong> The customer sees their own sales price and books.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Margins at every step<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span>As a percentage, by zone and weight band,<\/strong> or with a customer-specific rate sheet<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span>At every link of the chain:<\/strong> from carrier to forwarder, to sub-forwarder, to end customer<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span>Surcharges carry their own margins,<\/strong> so extra charges are never passed on at cost by accident<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Three ways to price<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span>Live price plus margin:<\/strong> the carrier’s live price with your margins added<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span>Hybrid:<\/strong> the live price with your own surcharges, and your own fuel surcharge in place of the carrier’s<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span>Combined:<\/strong> the cost comes live from the carrier, and the sales price from your rate sheet, so you see the real margin on every shipment<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid and combined pricing are set up with our team.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
