e-freight tariff information – web-based, company-wide

Transport management systems determine the cheapest forwarder for each order and give this information to the scheduling department. This often isn’t enough in day-to-day business. Other departments – like sales, for example – must also take freight costs into account in their calculations.

The efficient tariff information tool by Staedtler-Logistics is called e-freight. Via e-freight, authorized staff throughout the entire company can access the service provider and tariff database via Intranet/Internet, and can use the information to calculate reliable costs for their transport orders.

In addition to the tariffs, contact persons, country restrictions, etc. can also be stored in e-freight. This makes it possible for even holiday replacements and new staff to reliably calculate the cheapest transport offer.

The tariff information tool e-freight provides:

• Simple querying of freight costs by entering shipment data in the web browser – logistics expertise is not required
• Range and level of detail of results is freely configurable
• Automatic pre-selection of service provider according to destination area, dispatch mode and other criteria
• Comparison of logistics costs for different carriers and service types (e.g.: express, 10:00 delivery, etc.)
• Freight calculation can be executed in any currency: conversion of charge currency to current rate of company currency
• Integration of various distance modules with the option for interactive location search
• Delivers detailed results – especially important for invoice checking
