What is Air Cargo Rate Management?

Air cargo rate management allows forwarders to centralize, standardize, and instantly quote air freight pricing within a single digital platform. It unifies long-term negotiated contract rates, dynamic spot pricing, and live carrier eBooking APIs.

In a market defined by volatile capacity, shifting surcharges, and rapid rate swings, relying on static spreadsheets and manual email threads burns operational time and erodes margins. Modern rate management gives you visibility on tariff updates, unifies live carrier pricing, and powers instant, accurate quotes, turning market volatility into a competitive sales advantage.

The value, without a doubt, is how much quicker it is to process these shipments. Instead of worrying about what didn’t make it into the system, our team can spend time on what matters – getting shipments out the door faster and with fewer headaches.

When I get to work in the morning, the first thing I do after opening my email is open Freightos for Forwarders. I easily save one hour per day finding the rates I need.

Freightos for Forwarders collects air freight rates in a very easy and efficient format. The rates are always up to date with all surcharges and fees, and the platform easily connects with our quoting tools. Our response time to customers dropped by more than 65% since we made the switch!

The future of logistics is about working smarter, not harder. With tools like Freightos, we’re driving the shift towards a more integrated and efficient supply chain, where data sharing isn't just an idea but a reality.

Freightos for Forwarders enables us to integrate into a readily available solution where so many different APIs are already available. We don’t need to go out there and link into every different carrier one by one, spending time, energy, money.

The Freightos Way vs. Traditional Forwarding

	The Freightos Way	The Traditional Way
Carrier Access	Instant live capacity & rates across 80+ airlines combining static tariffs & direct APIs in one view.	Hours spent chasing airline rates across scattered carrier portals and endless email threads.
Pricing Accuracy	Automated real-time calculations for precise quotes and exact volumetric/chargeable weight rules.	High-risk manual calculations on fluctuating fuel/security surcharges causing margin leakage.
Tech Stack Fit	Single dashboard visibility for all rates that plugs directly into your existing TMS.	Bouncing between disconnected spreadsheets, static PDFs, and separate web logins.
Execution Speed	1-click direct eBooking with instant carrier confirmation right from your quoting interface.	Manual outreach and multi-step portal hopping across individual airline sites.
Market Intelligence	Data-driven strategy control with real-time rate fluctuation trends via Freightos Terminal.	Reactive pricing strategy without visibility into benchmark lane trends or spot volatility.
Conversion Rate	3x higher win rate driven by instant, professional door-to-door customer responses.	Slow response times that lose high-value air deals to faster competitors.

We’re using Freightos for Forwarders for online booking and rate look-up…from an end to end perspective, which is rather important for us…to be capable to give information in no time to our customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is air cargo software?

Air cargo software (often called air freight rate management software) is a technology platform built for freight forwarders to centralize air tariffs, aggregate dynamic airline pricing, compute surcharges and volumetric weight, and automate customer quotes and eBookings.

Do I need a new TMS, or do I need rate management software?

A common question among logistics leaders is whether they need to replace their Transportation Management System (TMS) to digitize rate management.

The short answer is no, you do not need a new TMS.
A TMS is engineered for back-end operational execution: customs filing, track-and-trace, dispatch, documentation, and billing. However, standard TMS platforms rely on static spreadsheet uploads, making them ill-equipped for the fast-paced, real-time nature of air cargo pricing.

Freightos Rate & Quote Air serves as your front-end sales and pricing engine. It connects alongside your TMS Seamless Integrations to provide: Real-Time Discovery, Rapid Quoting, and Instant eBooking.

Once a quote is won, the booking and pricing data feed automatically back into your existing TMS for shipment execution

How do forwarders manage air cargo rates?

Modern forwarders manage air cargo rates by centralizing static contract tariffs, spot rates, and live carrier API feeds into a single digital dashboard. This automates surcharge logic, volumetric weight calculations, and margin rules to eliminate manual email inquiries and spreadsheet updates.

How many airlines can I get live air rates from?

Through Freightos for Forwarders, forwarders get instant access to live rates and direct eBooking across 80+ global air carriers, representing over 78% of global air cargo capacity.

What’s the difference between air freight software and a TMS?

Air freight software focuses on front-end rate discovery, dynamic carrier API pricing, instant door-to-door quoting, and 1-click eBookings. A TMS handles back-end shipment execution, documentation, customs clearance, and billing after the quote is won. Together, they form a complete forwarder technology stack.
