Freight Rate Tiers

The tiered freight rates feature of the Cargoes module lets you model more advanced rate structures.

Models

A dropdown selector at the top lets you select different pricing models your tiers should be based on.

  • Tiered: In tiered pricing, the per-unit freight rate are assigned to quantity-based ranges (tiers). When calculating the total freight, quantities are purchased from successive tiers, starting from the lowest.

  • Volume: As with tiered pricing, the freight rate is quantity-based. However, the per-unit freight rate is dependent on the range within which the total quantity falls. So under this model, you would define the quantity ranges and the per-unit freight rate for each.

Creating and editing tiers

  1. In the dialog window, enter the quantity at which the tier should start at, the freight rate per unit of quantity, and a flat-fee lump sum.

When you create a new tier or edit an existing tier, the end of the range of the previous tier is automatically adjusted to align with it.
