Comparative Rate

Preventive analysis of shipment costs

The Comparative Network endpoint allows to estimate in advance the costs of a shipment via your (active or passive) price lists, that have been saved on Gsped, such as;

  • Rental (base cost of the shipment)

  • Predictable incidental expenses

    • COD Cost

    • Insurance cost

    • FUEL

    • Remote areas or islands

    • Additional services (delivery to the floor or on Saturday, etc)

    • Charges due to oversize

    • Etc.

There are two kinds of rating:

  • ACTIVE: needs a costs analysis only related to active price lists

  • PASSIVE:costs analysis related to the price lists agreed upon with the courier in the contracting stage. This modality takes account of the ACTIVE rating to compare the shipping costs and incomes.
