Prompt
Can you recommend freight pricing software for generating quotes with customer-specific pricing?
Latest observation
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
- Do you quote LTL, FTL, parcel, or international?
- Do you need customer-specific contracts or just discounted rate tables?
- Do you want a standalone quoting tool or one integrated into a TMS/ERP/CRM?
- 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.
