Live Spot Rates, Inside the Quote You're Already Building
Ocean freight spot rates, pulled in real time from external rate providers and available directly inside the quoting workflow, compare routes and carriers, sort by what actually matters to the deal, and respond to time-sensitive RFQs with current market pricing instead of a rate someone checked yesterday. Air freight spot rates are coming soon.
No credit card required. Go live in 9 weeks. Implementation team included.

Spot rates are usually available somewhere, a carrier portal, a rate provider's site. The time cost is the separate step of checking it before returning to actually build the quote.
Most pricing teams can already get a spot rate, check a carrier's website, log into a rate provider's portal, or call a contact directly. The actual time cost isn't the rate being unavailable, it's the context-switch. Leaving the quote you're building, checking a rate somewhere else, and coming back to enter it manually, all while an RFQ is sitting there waiting for a response. Shipthis pulls ocean and air spot rates directly into the same screen where the quote is being built, so there's no separate step, no tab to switch to, and no manual re-entry of a number you just looked up somewhere else.
Ocean Spot Rates, Live From the Source
An integration with CargoFive brings up-to-date ocean freight spot rates directly into the system, so comparing routes and carriers happens without leaving the quote.
Ocean freight spot rates change fast enough that a rate checked yesterday isn't reliable today. Shipthis integrates directly with CargoFive, pulling up-to-date spot rates into the system so your team can compare routes and carriers instantly and quote customers with pricing that reflects the actual current market, not a stale number from a rate sheet nobody's refreshed recently.

Air Spot Rates, Coming Soon
Real-time airline spot pricing is on the roadmap, extending the same live-rate workflow already available for ocean freight.
Air freight pricing can swing quickly with capacity and demand, and a quote built on outdated pricing either loses the business to a competitor with fresher numbers or costs margin if it undercuts the real current rate. Shipthis is extending the same real-time spot rate integration already live for ocean freight to air, so your team will soon be able to retrieve current airline pricing the same way, right inside the quote.
More Options Only Help If You Can Sort Through Them Fast
Filter and sort spot rate results by transit time, carrier preference, or customer-specific requirements, optimize the decision, not just see the data.
Having several spot rate options available is only useful if a pricer can quickly identify the right one for that specific deal, sometimes the priority is margin, sometimes it's the fastest transit time, sometimes it's a preferred carrier relationship or a customer's specific requirement. Shipthis lets your team sort and filter spot rate results by any of these metrics, so choosing the best option is a quick decision against the criteria that actually matter for that quote, not a manual scan down a flat list of numbers.

Find the Rate. Build the Quote. Same Screen.
Spot rates selected during quoting apply directly to the response — no copying a number from one tool into another.
Spot rates exist specifically to enable fast RFQ turnaround, and that speed depends on how quickly a pricer can move from finding the rate to actually sending the quote. Shipthis carries the selected spot rate directly into the quote response workflow, so turning a live rate into a customer-ready quote takes a couple of clicks, not a rebuild from scratch or a number copied by hand between two separate tools.
Rate Access Alone Isn't the Point. Speed to a Sent Quote Is.
Live ocean rates, sortable by what matters, mapped into the quote in a couple of clicks, the full chain that delivers the speed spot rates are supposed to provide.

A spot rate lookup tool that's disconnected from the actual quoting workflow only solves half the problem, the rate is current, but getting it into a sent quote still takes manual steps. Shipthis covers the full chain, live rates from a real provider, sorted by the metrics that matter for a specific deal, mapped into the quote response in a couple of clicks. That's the difference between having access to spot rates and being fast because of them.
Connected to the Providers and Lanes You Actually Quote
A dedicated implementation team sets up spot rate integrations around your actual carrier relationships and trade lanes.
Spot rate integration only delivers value if it's connected to the providers and lanes your team actually quotes against. Shipthis implementation is built around that reality: your existing rate provider relationships are configured during onboarding, and your team is trained on sorting and filtering spot rates specific to the modes and routes you run most. Most customers are fully operational within weeks, with support continuing well past go-live.
