Acquires rate quotes and transit times from requested VLTL Capacity Providers. |
The steps and diagram below detail how VLTL Rating is integrated into the Customer’s user process to receive rates and transit times from Capacity Providers:
-
The Customer requests ratings for a particular Shipment from one or more of its Capacity Providers in the project44 Network. This action generates a Query for volume LTL rate quotes Request to project44 that includes the requested Capacity Providers and the Shipment’s details.
-
project44 receives the Query for volume LTL rate quotes Request, retrieves the credentials for each requested Capacity Provider stored during onboarding, and generates a Request to each Capacity Provider for ratings.
-
Each Capacity Provider returns a Response to project44 with its proposed rates and transit times for this Shipment.
-
project44 generates a Query for volume LTL rate quotes Response to the Customer that includes these rates and transit times from each Capacity Provider.
-
The Customer receives the Query for volume LTL rate quotes Response and sees the proposed rates and transit times for the Shipment from each requested Capacity Provider.
