Rate requests to carriers and agents
Drafts a rate request for each shipment to the carriers and agents you work with and lines up the replies in one comparison. Your forwarder approves the requests and picks the carrier.

Drafts and compares. Your forwarder decides
Problem
When a lane has no current rate, a forwarder writes to several carriers and overseas agents, then collects replies that each use a different format. Rates, surcharges, transit times and validity are copied into a sheet before they can be compared.
What it does
YP drafts one request per carrier or agent from the shipment details. Once your forwarder approves, the requests go out. Replies are read as they arrive and placed side by side, with every figure linked to the reply it came from.
How it works
See exactly how the work gets done.
The work starts when a rate is missing. A quote or a booking on a lane with no valid rate starts the run.
A rate request is drafted for each carrier or agent on your list. Each request contains the origin, the destination, the cargo details and the ready date.
Your forwarder approves the requests before they are sent. They leave for the carriers and agents only after your forwarder has checked them.
YP reads every reply from the carriers and agents. Rate, surcharges, transit time and validity are taken from each reply, whatever the format.
Your forwarder chooses the carrier from one comparison. The comparison is ready in one view. Once your forwarder has picked the carrier, the rate goes into CargoWise.
The outcome
Your forwarders compare replies instead of copying them. The choice of carrier stays with them.

How it runs
Designed for enterprise.
Private
Runs on your infrastructure. Drawings, prices, client and claims data never train a model.
Explainable
Not a black box. An AI auditor checks that every task was done as intended and proposes improvements.
Traceable
Every value links to the document, rule or record it came from. Every step is logged. A named person approves anything that leaves the building.
Your systems
Works in your ERP, CargoWise, policy system, GIS and file shares. Nothing is replaced.
