Rates and quotes

Every rate type with its own calculator

A zone-based haul isn't calculated like a waiting-time surcharge. In logictra each rate type has its own form, table and calculation, and an engine whose only job is to decide which one applies to each service.

Rate types

Seven ways to price a transport service

Zone haul

Fixed price per trip, container or TEU depending on destination and origin.

Distance-band haul

Fixed price per band of commercial kilometres.

Per-km haul

Price per kilometre with rounding, minimums and an application band.

Surcharges

Per concept (ADR, waiting, weighing, tolls…): percentage, amount, per unit or at cost.

Supplements

By calendar condition: night work, weekend or public holiday.

Fuel

Price review based on diesel price changes.

Return trips

Price of the return leg linked to a haul.

Versions

Changing a price doesn't erase the previous one

  • Each rate is either a sale or a cost rate and applies generally, to a counterparty, a file, an order or a purchase order.
  • A price change creates a new version from a given date. The previous one stays in the history with its validity closed.
  • The database prevents two versions of the same rate from overlapping in time.
  • A version that has already been applied to a service cannot be modified.

Simulator

Check the price before committing to it

The simulator prices a service without saving anything: which rate applies and why, the breakdown of concepts, whether it falls on a holiday or at night, and the margin between sale and cost.

That way you can test a new rate against real cases before it reaches a quote.

Quotes

From accepted quote to operation

Margin traffic light

Each quote shows the margin on the sale. Your company sets the thresholds for loss, low margin and healthy margin.

Frozen sent version

When it's sent to the client, the quote is frozen in a version that no longer changes and carries its fingerprint.

Acceptance creates the work

When you record that the client accepts, logictra creates the operation, one service per line and a draft purchase order for each supplier.
