FDI Technologies' unique "RATE TECH PLUS" loads your contacts or rate agreements, from all your carriers, regardless of truckload, LTL, or small package into a rate comparison program. Additionally, each carrier downloads its point-to-point service times into the program. Easy access, through password protected website, allows a rapid comparison of total charges, including assessorial and fuel surcharges, plus service times for all carriers.

RATE TECH PLUS can be programmed to different access levels according to your specific needs. For example, you can allow your vendors access to an online routing guide that would merely list the carrier name and service standards but would not show pricing (althought it would be sorted by pricing criteria). Or, your sales personnel would have access to a level that included any markup you wish to change for prepaying the freight.

RATE TECH PLUS is a very versatile program that many departments of a company would find useful. To compare rates or transit times you need only know the origin and destination zip code, the actual class, the actual weight, and dimensions (if an airfreight shipment).
