Tally Freight is freight forwarding software for forwarders who live in carrier Excel files all day. Upload any carrier's Excel contract, search every lane across every uploaded carrier, and when a new amendment lands, refresh every affected customer quote in one upload.
It is Monday morning. The pricing lead opens a folder of carrier workbooks and starts the daily routine. Port codes translated from memory. FAK rows copied across tabs. Surcharges pulled from a second sheet. Commodity group guessed from the header.
A customer emails for a rate from Shanghai to Los Angeles in a 40HC. You flip through three workbooks, cross-reference the sailing schedule, add the drayage in Los Angeles, add AMS and CSS, and quote the number.
Thursday, a carrier publishes a new amendment. Your inbox has forty customer quotes out in the market. You do not know which ones just went stale. You do not have time to find out. You send the amendment to the team and hope nothing slips.
That is the job today. It is not the job Tally Freight lets you do.
Tally Freight replaces the folder of Excel files with a single searchable workspace. Upload a carrier contract, and the parser reads your rates, surcharges, sailing schedules, and inland add-ons into the same system. Search any lane across every uploaded carrier. The cheapest rate per container size is highlighted in green. All-in costs include surcharges and rail transit where applicable.
When a carrier publishes an amendment, upload the new file. Tally Freight finds every affected customer quote, single-rate and multi-lane, and refreshes them at once. No list-building. No manual re-quote. The work that used to take an afternoon is done when the upload finishes.
Two jobs, one tool. Visibility on what you can sell today. Control when tomorrow's amendment changes the market.
Seven features built around the pricing-lead workflow: ingest, search, quote, send, refresh, schedule, monitor.
OOCL is live today. COSCO, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, and MSC are next, in weeks, not months, as we ship new parsers. You send us a sample contract for a carrier that isn't on the list yet, and we'll tell you when it's live.
Filter by origin, destination, sailing month, container size, and commodity group. Results return every matching rate across every uploaded carrier in one table. The cheapest rate per container size is highlighted in green so your pricing team does not have to eyeball four tabs to find it. Rate detail opens the full surcharge breakdown (AMS, CSS, TED, GAS) and the all-in cost for the selected S-code.
Single-rate quote builder for one lane. Multi-lane quote builder for the full tender grid, with margin set per cell. Export an internal PDF for your ops team and a customer-facing PDF for the buyer. The customer-facing export structurally hides cost, contract number, commodity group, and margin. The sanitization is enforced at the export layer, not in the template, so there is no accidental leak.
Connect your Microsoft account once. Every quote goes out as a branded PDF from your email address, to your customer, with your signature and your company's header. No Tally relay, no impersonation, no shared inbox. Your customer replies to you, not to us. Sender-of-record stays with your team, where it belongs.
When the new amendment file lands, upload it. Tally Freight finds every customer quote touched by the changed rates, single-rate and multi-lane, and refreshes them at once. This is the feature that pays for itself the first time a carrier publishes mid-week.
Each result carries the service loop (PCN1, PNW1 through PNW5, SEAP), the ETD and ETA, transit days, and the vessel operator on the loop. Search results for inland Canadian cities get a rail transit badge showing the extra days from POD. Transit times are estimations. The system says so where it matters.
Metric cards on the dashboard surface open quotes, expiring rates, and stale-quote alerts when an amendment lands. Data freshness is written in plain language ("rates updated 2 days ago," not a raw timestamp) so ops staff know at a glance whether today's quote is built on today's contract.

No. Tally reads the rate sheets your carriers already send you. No EDI setup, no carrier IT involvement, no waiting on your carrier's integration team to respond. The day an amendment hits your inbox, you upload it, and every quote referencing those rates refreshes.
OOCL is live today. Every OOCL amendment is ingested and searchable the day the carrier publishes it. COSCO, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, and MSC are in active development and ship in the coming weeks. If you run a carrier that isn't on this list, send us a sample contract, most Excel formats onboard in days.
Most Excel contracts can be onboarded in days once we have a sample file. COSCO shares the OOCL format and is parser-ready. Other carriers require per-carrier column mapping because every carrier uses a different workbook layout. Send us a sample contract and we will quote an onboarding date.
Customer contracts, rates, and quotes live in your own authenticated workspace with row-level isolation per account. Each user has a scoped session. Customer-facing PDFs remove cost, contract number, commodity group, and margin before export, enforced in code, not template. If you need a signed DPA for a larger review, we will send one.
Yes. Every quote exports to PDF (internal and customer-facing). Your contracts are yours. If you leave, we help you extract everything you uploaded.
Yes. Tally Freight is billed monthly at $99 per seat per month. No annual commitment at launch. No cancellation fee.

Most rate tools require an EDI connection between the tool and each of your carriers. The problem: carriers have no incentive to maintain those feeds. Rates often don't populate correctly, and your team still ends up entering rates by hand, while you keep paying per-carrier fees for a feed that isn't working. Tally takes the opposite approach. We read the contract your carrier already sent you, whether Excel, Word, or PDF, and turn it into a searchable, quotable, auto-refreshing rate database. No EDI. No carrier-side setup. No per-carrier charges. One flat price that covers every carrier you upload.
Yes. Tally Freight runs on desktop and mobile browsers.
