1. Why should we set up an Auto rating in Cargowise?

Auto rating is a pricing system that enables personalized pricing standards to ensure fair, transparent, and flexible pricing mechanisms for different types of practices, enabling companies to meet customer needs and achieve sustainable growth.

...

We can apply auto rating either at the Shipment levelLevel

...

Or apply auto rating in Consol. If we click ‘Auto rate Costs and Revenue’ in Consol, all the shipments attached with the Consol will behave WIP & ACR populated automatically

2. What are Company Tariffs, Client Rates, and Supplier Costing Tariffs?

...

  • Company Tariffs: 

    • Base Company Tariff: Standard origin/destination charges tariff offered to clients who do have specially agreed contract terms (Most Spot / Transactional clients). This in essence refers to the minimum charges for a particular charge code we will charge as a standard. It helps to auto-create WIPs on any file based on Mode, and Direction on either a company or a Location (Port/ Airport) basis. These tariffs must be published by every country within the SEKO Network globally.

...

Important Note

...

:

Establishing a Company Tariff only generates WIP Revenue as a minimum, when actually billing the customer we encourage operators to continue to maximize revenue with clients on the final invoice being raised .to become final REV on the file

  • Client Rates: This refers to specific selling rates (contracts) with a client that is greater than 1 month in validity ( for ATA or PTP Freight) or if Freight continues to be Spot then with specially agreed local land side charges that differ from the base company tariff

  • Global Client Rate: This function is used when SEKO offers an RFQ / Tender Rate to a Controlling Customer and applies to Origin/ Destinations in multiple countries within the SEKO Network. The request to create a Global Client Rate should be raised by the Key Account Manager, CSG, or from our Global Tender Team as part of the implementation of the award process or onboarding of a large client meeting the aforementioned criteria

  • Supplier Costing:  This refers to our Purchase / Buying Contract agreements per local vendor (can be Ocean Carrier local charge costs, Airline Local handling costs, Trucking vendors, Customs Brokerage companies etc)

...

Global Shared Service Center (GSSC) is a centralized team that will manage the update & maintenance for all customers, companies & Supplier costing tariffs within CargoWise. Once the GSSC is live they will be the only parties able to create new tariffs within CargoWise Globally within SEKO, as local permissions will be removed to ensure Data Quality & aligned rules on rating globally. The process below shows how you need to engage with the GSSC and request an update accordingly
