Problem
Sea freight forwarders must manually consolidate rate sheets, apply dynamic surcharges, and calculate drayage and on‑carriage costs across truck, rail, and barge modes. This spreadsheet‑driven process is time‑consuming, error‑prone, and obscures true container‑level costs, slowing quote generation and inflating operational overhead.
Solution
Fastalyze delivers a cloud‑based rate management platform that centralizes all drayage and on‑carriage rate data into a single, continuously updated repository. Users upload existing PDFs or Excel files; the system automatically extracts, normalizes, and harmonizes the data while applying the latest surcharge rules. The platform then computes end‑to‑end cost scenarios for every inland route, mode, terminal, and shunting fee, presenting the results in an intuitive dashboard. By eliminating manual spreadsheet work, Fastalyze accelerates quote creation, reduces email traffic, and provides full cost transparency for each container. The solution integrates with existing freight‑forwarding workflows through web access and API endpoints, enabling teams to make data‑driven pricing decisions without additional IT overhead.
