Shipment Rating

Shipment Rating is an integrated application within SCO's Transportation Execution Center (TEC) that allows for automated rating of all shipments. A simplified and automated rating process significantly improves accuracy in rating tasks.

Transportation Execution Center (TEC)

All origin and destination pairs, including optimized orders, are automatically sent to SCO's rating engine. The rating engine pre-rates the shipments based on the shipment criteria. The shipment criteria includes: origin, destination, pieces, weight, dimensions, pickup and delivery dates.

The rating engine interfaces with SMC's CZAR DLL rating program for LTL base tariff rating. All other tariffs are loaded directly into the rating application. Interfaces are setup to access Rand McNally’s MileMaker and ALK’s PC*MILER mileage software packages. RGI's GeoMaster geography data is loaded directly into the rating application for geography cross-reference. Commodities are loaded directly into the application and support the National Motor Freight Classification published standards or customer specific commodities.

The rating engine returns all available carrier rates for the Origin/Destination pair. The rates are returned ranked from lowest cost to highest cost.
