Do we have to replace our TMS?

No. Freightools.ai sits on top of your tariff library and pushes quotes/bookings into your existing workflow. Most customers keep their TMS.

How long does onboarding take?

Two weeks for the core flows: Tari loading, Miles quoting, and a sales-floor command center. Customer portal usually goes live in week 3.

How does pricing work?

Per workspace, with usage tied to active sales seats and quote volume. Pricing is discussed in the demo so we can size it to your team.

Where does our tariff data live?

In your private Freightools.ai workspace. We never share carrier or customer data across customers.

Is this just a re-skinned LLM?

No. Tari and Miles are domain-specific systems with carrier-aware extractors, lane logic, and margin rules. The LLM is one component, not the product.

Which TMS platforms do you integrate with?

Freightools can work alongside existing TMS workflows through APIs, flat-file exchange, and customer-specific integration work. In a demo, we map the exact connection point: tariff ingestion, quote output, customer portal, or downstream booking workflow.

The forwarder problem

Forwarders aren’t slow because they’re bad. The tools never caught up.

Most forwarder software was designed for the era of EDI and Excel. The customer experience moved on. Sales floors are quoting against companies that reply same-hour with a real number.

Tariffs locked in PDFs

Hundreds of carrier agreements live as PDFs in shared drives. Reps re-key the same numbers for every quote and miss surcharges.

Quotes take days

An RFQ arrives, sales messages operations, operations digs through tariffs, finance applies a margin — and three days later the customer has gone elsewhere.

No self-service

Your customers expect a 2026-grade portal. Without one, they compare you to whoever has one — and you lose deals on UX, not price.

Margin discipline by spreadsheet

Floor margins live in Excel. Some reps follow them, some don’t. Leadership only sees the leak when the quarter has already closed.

AI Command Center

One dashboard watching every AI agent in your operation.

Tari extractions in flight. Miles drafting quotes. Spot-rate searches resolving. The Command Center is the bridge — your team sees what the agents are doing, intervenes when needed, and never loses operational authority.

The two engines

Tari structures the rates. Miles writes the quotes.

Two domain-specific systems doing the work that used to require humans, Excel, and sleepless ops.

Tari · Tariff intelligence

Every supplier tariff, structured.

PDFs, Excel, prices in the email body — Tari ingests them and produces a structured buying agreement your entire team can quote from. Every extracted rate is checked against source clauses before it enters your library.

See Tari →

Miles · Quote engine

Inbound email in. Quote out.

Miles reads the inquiry, picks the best buying agreement, applies your margin rules, and drafts the quote your sales team can send in seconds. Margin guard rails are non-negotiable.

Rate Management

Your rate library, organised the way you operate.

Tariffs, contracts, surcharges, customer-specific markups — one structured library that the rest of Freightools.ai can act on. Versioned, queryable, reversible.

Onboarding

Live in two weeks. Not two quarters.

We don’t replace your TMS. We sit on top of your tariff library and turn it into a quoting engine. That’s why onboarding is measured in days, not quarters.

Day 0

You forward us a folder of tariff PDFs. Tari starts loading.

Day 1–3

Operations reviews extracted fields against source clauses. Approvals live in one screen.

Day 4–7

Miles is generating quotes for your sales floor. Margin rules are live and enforceable.

Week 2

Instant Quote portal goes live for your top customers. Your team can see every active customer quote and its status in real time.
