Transport rates with AI: your spreadsheet's price, to the cent

Quote shipments by pallets or by kilos and zone without opening a spreadsheet. The calculation gives the same figure as yours, applies each customer's conditions and, if you want, you ask ADRI for it by chat. It is a module for transport companies and is activated on request.

The problem

Quoting manually costs time and money

In many transport companies, the price comes from an Excel sheet with dozens of columns: zone, kilo bracket, each customer's base rate, discount, fuel. It is slow, depends on whoever knows how to use it, and one wrongly copied cell is enough to undercharge or send an offer that cannot then be upheld.

This module stores your rates and each customer's conditions, and always calculates with a single rule. The screen, the PDF offer, the quote and ADRI all give the same amount, because all four use the same calculation.

What it does for you

From the rate to the quote, without loose spreadsheets

The same cent as your sheet

The calculation rounds as Excel does. If your sheet says €18.88, here it comes out as €18.88. It works for rates by kilos and zone and by pallets and zone.

Versions that cannot be altered

A published rate cannot be changed or deleted. To change prices, you import a new version with its effective date. That way you always know what prices each offer was issued with.

Conditions per customer

Each customer has their rate, base rate, discount and, where applicable, their fuel surcharge. When conditions change, the history is kept: nothing is overwritten.

Import your rate with ADRI

You send ADRI the Excel or CSV in the chat. ADRI converts it and leaves it as a draft, with a summary and any errors. You review the prices and publish.

Revaluation with preview

Increase or decrease all costs by a percentage, for example the annual increase. You see some cells before and after and publish a new version. The previous one remains untouched.

Mixed quotes

In a single quote you can mix shipments calculated with the customer's rate and services from your catalogue, such as special packaging. Each shipment is a line with its price.

How it works

Up and running in 5 steps

  1. Import the rate

    ADRI converts your Excel or CSV. You review the summary and publish it with the effective date.

  2. Adjust the module

    You choose what happens if a price falls below cost and record the fuel price for each month.

  3. Assign each customer

    Rate, base rate, discount and fuel surcharge for each customer, from their record or from the module screen.

  4. Calculate

    You enter the destination and kilos or pallets and see the itemised price: carriage, surcharges, fuel and total excluding VAT.

  5. Offers and quotes

    Generates the PDF offer with its number or adds the shipment to a draft quote.

ADRI by chat

“How much does it cost to send 3 pallets to Valencia for this customer?”

You ask ADRI as you would a colleague. She chooses the customer's rate and conditions and shows you the breakdown with her warnings. The amount always comes from the module's calculation: ADRI does not make up prices.

  • Quotes by chat: it prepares a draft for you with shipments and catalogue items, and asks you to confirm before creating it.
  • Offers in PDF: it generates them with the customer's current rate.
  • New rates: import the file and it proposes the price adjustment with preview. Publishing is done by a person.
  • With your permissions: ADRI sees the same as you; if you cannot see the costs, neither can she.

Working

Example

How much does it cost to send 3 pallets to Valencia for this customer?

gestorFinds the rate and the customer's terms

gestorCalculates with the module's engine, without making things up

Here is the breakdown: carriage, month's fuel and total excluding VAT. Shall I prepare the quote as a draft?

Illustrative conversation. You decide what is created and sent.

Control and security

Your margins are only visible to those you choose

Costs with permission

Only those with cost permission see the cost of each cell and the margin over cost. By default, admin and management. The salesperson calculates and quotes without seeing them.

Discounts with a cap

Each rate base has its maximum discount, and a higher one is rejected. If a price were to fall below cost, you choose whether it is blocked or a warning is shown.

Never charges without warning

If the month's fuel price is missing, a destination is 'on request', or the requested service does not exist for that zone, the calculation says so. It does not charge 0% or change the service silently.

Module for carriers: it is not enabled in every installation. It is activated on request, after a demo with your own rate.

Frequently asked questions

What people usually ask us

Does my rate and my price come out the same as in my Excel spreadsheet?

That is the aim of the calculation: it rounds like Excel and works with exact amounts, without the cent errors of standard decimals. Even so, during setup we compare several real shipments with you against your spreadsheet before using it.

What types of rate does it support?

Rates by kilos and zone, and by pallets and zone. It supports its own surcharges (such as dangerous goods, cash on delivery or declared value), fuel by bands or fixed, volumetric weight and economy or premium service.

Can I change the prices of a rate that has already been published?

No. A published version is closed. To change prices, you import a new version, or apply a price adjustment with preview, and choose the date it applies from. The previous one closes the day before.

What happens to quotes already sent if I change a customer's terms?

Nothing. A quote is saved exactly as it was sent. When a customer's terms change, the previous ones are closed and the history is kept, and quotes already created are not touched.

Can ADRI set any price she likes?

No. ADRI selects the customer and rate and reads the result, but the amount is always provided by the module's calculation. Before creating a quote, it asks you for confirmation.

Who sees my costs and margins?

Only those with cost permission. By default, admin and management, and you can change this from Roles. The salesperson can calculate and quote without seeing the cost.

How do I activate it?

It is a module for transport companies and is not enabled as standard: it is activated on request. Ask us for a demo and we'll look at it with one of your rates.
