The team at Rental Wagons, an online freight platform, is finalizing the development of a new module for calculating spot freight rates. This tool will allow shippers to quickly and easily receive a data-driven pricing offer for a one-time shipment of a specified cargo volume along a chosen route — all online and in real time.
The calculator is based on a multifactor model that considers not only the user’s input but also analytical data such as transportation costs, market conditions, operational constraints, and potential risks.
How does the freight cost calculator work?
- Through a user-friendly interface, the client enters route details, type and volume of cargo, desired delivery timeframe.
- The system calculates a personalized rate based on this input, along with internal data (such as order history, cost structure, wagon condition, and operational limitations) and market analytics (including historical data, current rates for similar routes, logistical and legal constraints, customs regulations, and rolling stock condition).
- The client receives a data-backed rate tailored to their specific request.
Key benefits of our freight cost calculator:
- Accurate pricing, tailored to each shipment.
- Flexible model that takes into account not only costs, but also strategic factors (e.g., if the next trip from the delivery point is highly profitable, the price for the current shipment can be reduced).
- Personalized approach, reflecting the client’s needs and the specific route.
- Rapid response to changes in market conditions.
Unlike basic JS calculators commonly found on websites, our spot pricing solution is built on in-depth analysis of multiple input sources and utilizes predictive models that respond to market fluctuations.
The system has a modular structure and includes:
- a data collection and processing module (gathering internal and external information),
- an analytics module (aggregating statistics and generating forecasts),
- a pricing engine (applying logical rules based on all received data).
We believe this new tool will attract clients with its speed, flexibility, and ability to deliver competitive pricing in real time.
