Freightgate is a logistics control layer that automatically applies rates, routes, partner rules, and compliance requirements across shipments. It sits above ERP, TMS, WMS, and carrier systems, connecting with them rather than replacing them. Eight linked building blocks cover rate management, visibility, quoting, tendering, dispatch, audit, compliance, and dashboards for ocean, air, land, and rail freight. Rate Management imports carrier rates, surcharges, and contract terms, then applies the relevant rate before booking. Quote Automation creates customer-ready quotes using contract rates, surcharges, and margin rules. Connections are available through EDI, API, and web services, with NetSuite listed as an integration. Compliance functions include denied-party screening, ISF filing, SOLAS VGM, FMC tariff publishing, and customs documentation. Freightgate describes a modular SaaS model, with subscription and usage terms set in the applicable Order Form; pricing is on request.
