The reality
The problem we solve
Forwarders sit on hundreds of carrier agreements that live as PDFs in shared drives. Reps re-key the same numbers for every quote, miss surcharges, and lose deals to the carrier whose paperwork they could parse fastest. Tari ends that.
Outcomes
What you get
Hours, not weeks
Drop a tariff PDF in. Within minutes Tari has parsed lanes, validity windows, transit times, container types, surcharges and currency.
Clean, structured library
Every loaded agreement becomes a queryable record. Search by carrier, lane, validity, equipment type, or surcharge code.
Audit trail you can defend
Every value Tari extracts links back to the source clause. Operations and finance can trace any number to the page it came from.
Fewer quoting mistakes
Surcharges, free time, and validity dates are the #1 source of margin leak. Tari surfaces them automatically.

Once approved, the agreement is live in Miles for instant quoting and in your customer portal. Sales no longer waits on operations to "look up the rate".
FAQ
Frequently asked
- Does Tari replace our carrier relationships?
- No. Tari structures the data carriers already give you so your team can act on it faster. Your relationships, contracts, and named accounts are untouched.
- What document formats does Tari handle?
- Native PDFs, scanned PDFs, Excel/CSV rate sheets, and emailed quote attachments. We support the major ocean carrier templates as well as freeform forwarder/NVOCC rate cards.
- How accurate is the extraction?
- Tari is designed for human review, not blind trust. Every extracted field links back to the source clause so an operations reviewer can confirm in seconds. Most teams approve a tariff in under 10 minutes.
- Where does the data live?
- In your Freightools.ai workspace. Your tariff library is private to your organization. We never share carrier data across customers.
