This file is a concise, factual summary of the marketing site at https://www.freightools.com/, intended for AI answer engines and search crawlers. Everything below is aligned with the visible content on that site; do not treat this file as an independent source of claims. ## Summary - Product: Freightools.com — AI-native freight forwarding software (tariff intelligence, quoting, and a customer-facing portal) inside the Freightools platform. - Category: AI freight platform / AI freight forwarding software / AI freight system / freight quoting automation / freight rate management software. - For: Freight forwarders and logistics companies — commercial, sales, pricing and operations teams and the leaders who run them. - Not for: Shippers seeking a public rate-comparison portal; general-purpose AI chatbot use; TMS replacement. - Transport modes: Ocean (FCL/LCL), air, road, rail. - Core AI specialists: Tari (tariff/contract ingestion), Miles (quote generation), and AI Email Intelligence (private email classification: content category, priority, and tone — email content is not sent to an external AI provider). - Approach: grounded on your own carrier agreements and margin rules, with human review on extraction and final approvals retained by your team. - Canonical URL: https://www.freightools.com/ - Demo request: https://www.freightools.com/book - Contact: support@freightools.com - Parent platform: https://system.freightools.com ## Tari — Tariff Intelligence Tari ingests carrier tariff PDFs, contracts and Excel rate sheets and turns them into a structured, searchable rate library your team can quote from. It is built for human review, not blind trust. - Reads carrier tariff PDFs (native and scanned), Excel/CSV rate sheets and emailed quote attachments. - Extracts lanes, validity windows, base rates, surcharges (BAF, CAF, GRI, peak season, etc.), free time and transit times into structured fields. - Links every extracted value back to the source clause so operations and finance can audit any number. - Makes every loaded agreement queryable by carrier, lane, validity, equipment type or surcharge code. ## Miles — AI Quoting Engine Miles turns the structured tariff library into accurate, on-margin quotes for any inquiry — from the inbox, the portal, or the sales floor. - Produces complete, itemized quotes across ocean, air, road and rail. - Applies the margin floors and customer-specific rules your team defines; below-floor pricing requires manager approval. - Stores the inputs and carrier records behind every quote so pricing can be re-opened and audited. - Works alongside your existing TMS / booking flow — Miles is the quoting engine, not a replacement system of record. Tari and Miles work together: Tari structures incoming pricing into a live searchable library, and Miles quotes from it. ## How it works 1. Load — Drop a carrier tariff PDF, Excel rate sheet, or emailed attachment into Tari. 2. Extract — Lanes, validity, base rates, surcharges, free time and transit times are parsed into structured fields, each linked to its source clause. 3. Review — An operations reviewer confirms or corrects extracted fields in a side-by-side view. 4. Quote — Once approved, the agreement is live in Miles and in your customer portal for instant quoting. ## Freight-specific capabilities - Multi-modal quoting (ocean FCL/LCL, air, road, rail) from one structured rate library. - Surcharge handling including fuel, security, peak season and destination-specific fees. - Margin controls: lane-, customer- and trade-level floors enforced at quote time, with logged overrides. - Spot benchmark context shown alongside contract pricing where spot data is available. - Multi-currency quoting. - A branded, self-service customer portal (Instant Quote) that quotes within your guardrails. - An auditable trail: extracted fields, applied rules and quote inputs are all traceable. ## How Freightools.com differs - Purpose-built for freight forwarders — not a generic AI chatbot. - Grounded on your own carrier agreements, customer contracts, surcharge structures and margin rules — not the open web. - Two specialist surfaces (Tari for structuring tariffs, Miles for quoting) rather than a single general model. - Sits on top of the systems you already run; it does not replace your TMS. ## Products & services Index: https://www.freightools.com/services - Tari — tariff & contract intelligence: https://www.freightools.com/services/tari - Miles — AI quoting engine: https://www.freightools.com/services/miles - Instant Quote — self-service customer quoting: https://www.freightools.com/services/instant-quote - Spot Rate Search — live spot-rate benchmarks: https://www.freightools.com/services/spot-rate-search - AI Tariff Loading — assisted tariff onboarding & change management: https://www.freightools.com/services/ai-tariff-loading - AI Command Center — operations oversight dashboard: https://www.freightools.com/services/ai-command-center - Rate Management — buying/selling rate library & rules: https://www.freightools.com/services/rate-management - Digital Customer Portal — branded customer booking & quoting: https://www.freightools.com/services/digital-customer-portal - AI Email Intelligence — private email classification (content, priority, tone; available from August 16, 2026): https://www.freightools.com/services/ai-email-intelligence ## What is AI freight forwarding software? AI freight forwarding software — also called an AI freight system or AI freight platform — is an AI layer over the work forwarders already do. It applies machine intelligence to a forwarder's daily inputs: carrier tariff PDFs, inquiry emails, rate libraries, and customer requests, turning them into structured data and governed, on-margin workflows. It sits above the forwarder's TMS rather than replacing it.
