# Rate Calculation: Quickly Calculate and Compare Transport Costs

#### With the **"Rates"** function (in the Compare area), you can calculate transport costs for a specific route (from point A to point B) at lightning speed based on your stored tariffs. Unlike the complex "Shipment Structure" feature (used for scenarios), this tool is designed for quick price quotes on a single route—without having to send a separate request to your carriers.

---

#### **Step 1: Access the Function**

1. Click on the **"Compare"** (*Vergleichen*) menu item in the top navigation bar.
2. Select the **"Rates"** option from the dropdown menu.

---

#### **Step 2: Define Route and Details**

Enter the key details of the shipment in the upper section:

- **Transport Mode:** Select the type of transport (e.g., "Full Truckload (FTL)" or "Air Freight").
- **Route:** Enter the origin ("From") and the destination ("To") (e.g., Bologna -\> Erfurt).
- **Additional Options:** If needed, check the boxes for Import Customs Clearance or Transport Insurance.

---

#### **Step 3: Quantities and Filters**

Refine the basis for your calculation:

- **Filters:** You can restrict the calculation to specific carriers, Incoterms, or hazardous goods classes.
- **Quantities:** Enter the number of shipments, vehicles, or the value of the goods at the bottom to get an accurate total sum.

---

#### **Step 4: Compare Results & Book**

After entering the data, you will see a clear comparison table of the available providers (e.g., "Roadspeed", "Translogistic").

- **Costs:** You will see the total price as well as detailed breakdowns of freight and other costs.
- **Ranking:** The providers are typically displayed sorted by price or their performance rating (stars).
- **Direct Booking:** If a price meets your requirements, you can click on **"Place Order"** (*Auftrag erteilen*) directly from this view to book the transport immediately.

**Note on Availability:** \> Since this function relies on pre-stored tariffs, it is—just like the tariff management feature itself—generally available starting from the **Corporate package**.
