What Freightgate is
Freightgate is a logistics control layer that applies rates, routes, partner rules and compliance requirements across shipments. It sits above ERP, TMS, WMS and carrier systems, integrating with them rather than replacing them. Eight connected building blocks cover rate management, visibility, quoting, tendering, dispatch, audit, compliance and dashboards, with decision support for ocean, air, land and rail freight. Rate Management imports carrier rates, surcharges and contract terms, then applies the appropriate rate before booking. Quote Automation creates customer-ready quotes using contract rates, surcharges and margin rules. Freightgate connects through EDI, API and web services, and lists NetSuite as an integration. Compliance functions include denied-party screening, ISF filing, SOLAS VGM, FMC tariff publishing and customs documentation. The company describes its SaaS platform as modular, so customers can select capabilities and pay for what they use. Freightgate markets the service to global operators, shippers, forwarders, 3PLs, NVOCCs and carriers managing complex supply chains. Pricing is on request, with subscription and usage terms set in the applicable Order Form.
