Rate Intelligence

Find lanes you quote but have no tariff for

The Coverage screen ranks the lanes you were asked to price against the tariffs you actually hold, so the busiest gaps — the contracts worth negotiating — come first.

You always knew which rate cards you hold. What you could not see is the other half of the question: which lanes you keep being asked to price and have no tariff for. Rate Intelligence → Coverage answers that, and orders it by how often you were asked.

Steps

  1. Open Rate Intelligence in the sidebar and select the Coverage tab.

  2. Choose how far back to look: Last 30 days, Last 90 days (the default), or Last 180 days. The whole screen re-reads when you change it.

  3. Read the sentence at the top. It counts quotes, not lanes — for example "288 quotes were priced on 33 lanes with no live tariff, out of 37 lanes quoted."

  4. Work down the table. Each row is one lane:

    ColumnWhat it tells you
    LaneOrigin → destination, by port code
    ModeOcean, air or ground — an air tariff does not cover an ocean quote
    QuotesHow often you were asked to price this lane in the window
    CoverageNo tariff, Lapsed, Not active, or Covered
    Covered untilWhen the covering card stops — a lane covered until next Tuesday is a different problem from one covered until next year

How the ordering works

Gaps sort above healthy lanes regardless of volume, and volume ranks within them.

That ordering is the feature. Every catalogue has uncovered lanes, because the world is bigger than any carrier agreement — a plain list of them would be useless. The one that matters is the uncovered lane you quoted eleven times last month: either a contract worth negotiating, or eleven quotes somebody priced by hand.

Sorting purely by volume would bury every gap under the lanes that already work.

Reading the coverage states

  • No tariff — nothing exists for this lane. Negotiate, or accept that it is priced by hand.
  • Lapsed — a card existed and its validity window has passed. Usually a renewal, not a negotiation.
  • Not active — a card exists but is not live: draft, awaiting approval, or archived. Where there is something a person can actually approve, the row says so ("2 cards awaiting approval") and the fix is the approvals queue, not a carrier call.
  • Covered — a live tariff matches. Check Covered until anyway.

What the screen deliberately does not show

  • No prices. Coverage is a question about whether a tariff exists, which needs no amounts, so the screen carries none at all — nothing here is affected by whether you are allowed to see margin.
  • Quotes with no lane. A quote saved without an origin or destination cannot be matched to any tariff, so it is counted separately underneath rather than listed as your biggest gap. It is a data-completeness problem, not a coverage one.
  • A capped list. On a very large catalogue the screen says so rather than quietly showing you a short answer.

Result

You get a negotiation list: the lanes where demand is real and cover is not, busiest first. Take the top rows to your carrier or agent, and use Create or edit a rate card once you have the numbers.
