Pallets exchange surcharge

Updated 2 days ago by Katarzyna

Who can use this function?

The module is available to all users of the CargoON line and to users of the TFF (Trans for Forwarders) product line who have the ARS add-on (Solutions automating the publication of freight offers) enabled (fixed routes and automated rules).

From the article you will learn:

  • how to add a fixed route offer with the pallets exchange surcharge,
  • how to add a freight offer to a fixed route with a weekday surcharge.

Surcharges allow for flexible price management during the validity of the cooperation terms. This helps you better adjust the price of the service to the actual conditions of order execution. You can respond in real time to changes in fuel prices, consider additional loading places and maintain stability of long-term cooperation.

To use surcharges, you must first configure them in the templates. See the article Surcharge templates to learn how to do this.
