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.

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)
