Automated Freight Contract Accuracy

Automated rate-card ingestion validates uploaded contract data against carrier-published tariffs. For non-contracted routes, FourKites auto-fetches published rates from top ocean carriers and maintains them as the baseline for D&D and audit calculations.

Automated Freight Contract Accuracy

What we deliver

The Problem (Before)

D&D calculations and freight audit depend on accurate contract and tariff data. Rate cards are uploaded annually with ad-hoc updates, but contract data is often wrong. For routes without shipper-negotiated contracts (3PL/supplier-routed flows), published carrier tariffs must be fetched and baselined manually. Teams spend all their time fixing data instead of analyzing outcomes.

Who feels this:

Transportation Manager, Supply Chain Manager

The Outcome (After)

Automated rate-card ingestion validates uploaded contract data against carrier-published tariffs. For non-contracted routes, FourKites auto-fetches published rates from top ocean carriers and maintains them as the baseline for D&D and audit calculations.

What makes this different:

FourKites uniquely integrates rate-card management with tracking, D&D, and dispute workflows, ensuring the contract data that powers financial automation is continuously validated rather than uploaded once and forgotten.

How it works

The building blocks behind this outcome.
What Happens

By automating the maintenance and validation of carrier rate data, FourKites ensures the accuracy of all downstream financial calculations (D&D disputes, freight audit, carrier scorecards) that depend on contract integrity.

The Intelligence Behind It

Carrier published tariff data and contract compliance analytics.

This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.

Why This Cannot Be Replicated

FourKites uniquely integrates rate-card management with tracking, D&D, and dispute workflows, ensuring the contract data that powers financial automation is continuously validated rather than uploaded once and forgotten. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Any analytics tool can query your data. Only FourSight queries the Graph: 11 years of cross-company intelligence that cannot be replicated with software alone.
