Yes — if you need freight pricing software that can generate quotes with customer-specific rates, look for tools that support:

  • Customer-specific rate tables / contracts
  • Lane-based pricing
  • Accessorials and fuel surcharge rules
  • Quote management / rating engine
  • Integration with TMS, CRM, or ERP
  • Versioned approvals and audit trail

Here are some solid options by category:

Enterprise / transportation-heavy platforms

1. MercuryGate

  • Strong TMS with built-in rating and quoting
  • Good for complex customer-specific contract pricing
  • Supports multimodal freight and accessorial logic
  • Best for larger shippers, brokers, and 3PLs

2. Descartes

  • Broad logistics suite with rating, route planning, and shipment execution
  • Can handle customer-specific pricing rules and integrations
  • Good if you need a larger logistics ecosystem

3. Blue Yonder

  • Powerful enterprise supply chain platform
  • Suitable for highly customized pricing and quoting workflows
  • Better fit for large organizations with IT support

Mid-market freight rating / quoting

4. Kuebix

  • Easier to deploy than big enterprise suites
  • Useful for freight quoting and shipment management
  • Can support negotiated rates depending on configuration

5. Trimble Freight / Transporeon (depending on your region/use case)

  • Good for rate management and freight procurement
  • Often used in shipper-carrier networks with contract pricing

6. Freightview

  • Good for SMBs needing simple quoting and rate shopping
  • More limited for sophisticated customer-specific contracts
  • Better for straightforward quoting than complex pricing engines

APIs / developer-friendly rating engines

7. Lojistic

  • Better known for freight audit/visibility, but can help with rate intelligence
  • Useful if you need analytics around customer pricing

8. Parcel / LTL rating APIs

If your business needs custom quoting logic, you may want:

  • FreightWise
  • Shipwell
  • EasyPost (more parcel-focused, but can support custom logic via API)
  • ShipEngine (primarily parcel, some freight workflows via integrations)

If you want true customer-specific pricing

In many cases, the best fit is not just a “quote tool” but a rate management system or TMS with rating that can:

  • Store customer contracts
  • Apply tiered pricing by lane, mode, weight, class, accessorial
  • Override prices by customer/account
  • Generate instant quotes via portal or API

Best-fit recommendation by scenario

  • Large enterprise / complex contracts: MercuryGate, Descartes, Blue Yonder
  • Mid-market operational quoting: Kuebix, Freightview, Transporeon
  • API-first/custom build: a TMS with rating API or custom engine on top of freight data sources
  • Simple SMB quoting: Freightview

Quick questions to narrow the best choice

  1. Do you quote LTL, FTL, parcel, or international?
  2. Do you need customer-specific contracts or just discounted rate tables?
  3. Do you want a standalone quoting tool or one integrated into a TMS/ERP/CRM?
  4. Roughly how many quotes per day/month?

If you answer those, I can give you a much tighter shortlist with the best 3 options for your use case.
